F1® Authentics is proud to present this spectacular recreation of the 1987 Lotus 99T - a full-scale show car built to honour Ayrton Senna’s historic final season with Lotus during the turbocharged era of Formula 1®.

Designed by the legendary Gérard Ducarouge and campaigned by Senna in the 1987 FIA Formula One World Championship™, the Lotus 99T was a standout of its generation. Featuring pioneering active suspension and powered by a turbocharged Honda engine, the car delivered two race victories for Senna that season - at Monaco and Detroit - firmly cementing his reputation as a master of control and precision.

This show car has been faithfully recreated to reflect the chassis and livery of the car driven by Senna himself, capturing the bold yellow Camel-backed identity that became synonymous with Lotus during the era. From the low-slung bodywork to the distinctive rear wing, every detail has been meticulously crafted to celebrate both design and driver heritage.

This non-running showpiece is ideal for collectors, brand showcases, historic race exhibitions, or any environment seeking to honour the brilliance of one of Formula 1®’s greatest legends.
