Ayrton Senna is widely regarded as the greatest racing driver of all time having won three Formula One World Championships, 41 Grands Prix, and secured 65 pole positions. A stand out season for Ayrton was 1993 for McLaren, who ran with the underpowered Ford engine, he was able to win five grand prix and score 73 points compated to his team mate Michael Andretti's 7 points. Donnington 1993 is regdrded as one of the most exciting races in Formula One history, with Ayrton's first lap performance lauded as the best ever in the series history. Sadly passing away at his peak it is unknown how many more races and championships Ayrton would have won, and as a result is cemented in time as a legend.

This Shoei X4 is a perfect reproduction in the colours of Ayrton Senna. The helmet was created to look like an exact race used version of Ayrton's helmet, previously believed to have been used for a Hugo Boss display. The helmet incorporates radio intercom wiring and speakers as per his original helmets, and comes with an original used and signed visor with a letter of authenticity from Eric Boullier - the previous Racing Director at McLaren.
