Car Stories

Senna and His Role in Developing The Honda NSX

Ayrton Senna played a pivotal role in shaping the Honda NSX into the precision machine it became. During the late 1980s, while dominating Formula One with the Honda-powered McLaren team, Senna was invited by Honda engineers to test an early NSX prototype. His feedback was brutally honest: the chassis felt too fragile for serious performance driving. This critique prompted Honda to reinforce the chassis, increasing its rigidity by 50%—a dramatic change that transformed the car’s handling and durability. Senna’s racing instincts and technical insight gave Honda a benchmark that no simulation or lab test could replicate.

But Senna’s influence didn’t stop there. He later helped fine-tune the NSX’s suspension at the Nürburgring, one of the most demanding circuits in the world. His input led to a balance of comfort and razor-sharp responsiveness that set the NSX apart from its European rivals. Honda’s use of lightweight aluminum construction and mid-engine layout already gave the car a strong foundation, but Senna’s involvement elevated it to legendary status. The NSX wasn’t just a Japanese supercar—it was a driver’s car, honed by one of the greatest drivers in history.
