The McLaren MP4/6, Aryton Senna's championship-winning car from 1991, was born out of a heartfelt letter from an F1 fan who reached out to me. This fan shared how my previous build, the MP4/8, had moved him and brought back memories of watching F1 with his son years ago. Now, he wanted to recreate the experience for them both, reliving old races together. His story touched my heart, prompting me to revamp our F1 lineup. I decided to design a car that honored Senna's final championship win, featuring the iconic MP4/6. The MP4/6 boasts a setup similar to the Mazda, leveraging the Tamiya F104 rear axle and front suspension for stability. Its innovative modular design allows for easy assembly and maintenance. A unique feature is its rear LED light that flashes like rain, adding an extra layer of realism while driving. This new generation of cars showcases my advanced design skills, incorporating techniques like lofting to create more accurate, curved shapes. Both cars feature authentic vents, ducts, and diffusers, ensuring a true-to-life experience. Included manuals provide detailed instructions for assembly, and all holes are pre-treaded for seamless construction.
