<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> is getting excited for its imminent return to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/f1/">Formula One</a> with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/mclaren/">McLaren</a>. So excited, in fact, that it got its new/old friends from Woking to loan it one of its old F1 cars. But not just any old F1 car...<br />
<br />
On display at the Honda stand in Frankfurt this year is the 1988 McLaren MP4-4 in which the legendary <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ayrton+senna/">Ayrton Senna</a> drove to fifteen out of sixteen grands prix that season to take the championship in spectacular style.<br />
<br />
Honda provided the engine for that car, a 1.5-liter turbo V6 with upwards of 600 horsepower to propel less than 1,200 lbs. Of course this being a static display car, it's likely been stripped of its engine, gearbox and most other internal mechanical components. But that doesn't make the sight of it any less memorable.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/09/11/ayrton-senna-mclaren-honda-frankfurt-2013/">Senna's McLaren drives Honda up the wall</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 11 Sep 2013 07:02:00 EST.
