1987 Lotus 99T Show Car – Ayrton Senna

1987 Lotus 99T Show Car – Ayrton Senna

Story

Turbo Power. Driver Brilliance. A Tribute to Senna’s 1987 Legacy

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.

F1 Race Show Car FAQs

Is F1 Authentics an official partner of Formula 1®?

Yes. F1® Authentics is an official memorabilia platform and is an official supplier of F1® Show Cars. Memento Exclusives operates F1® Authentics under license from Formula One®.

How do I learn more or enquire about a specific show car?

Each vehicle listing includes an option to contact F1® Authentics expert team for more information or to request a quote. For tailored assistance, you can reach out to the team directly through the contact or enquiry forms on this website.

Can I buy an F1® Race or Show Car directly from F1 Authentics?

Yes. F1® Show Cars and Race Cars can be purchased directly through F1® Authentics. Due to their bespoke nature and value, prices are listed as Price On Application (POA), and buyers are encouraged to enquire directly to discuss availability, specifications, and delivery.

Do you sell real Formula 1® cars as well as show cars?

Yes. Alongside our officially licensed Show Cars, we offer genuine Formula 1® cars, from factory-built rolling chassis to cars that competed in the FIA Formula One World Championship. Some are offered privately and availability changes, so please speak to a specialist about what is available now.

What's the difference between a real F1® car and a show car?

A real Formula 1® car is a chassis built by the team to race or test. It carries its own history: the drivers, the circuits and often many of the components it ran with. Some are rolling chassis and a few are still in running order.

A Show Car is a full-scale replica of the race car, made for display rather than the track. It has no engine or gearbox and is built to match the look and detail of the car on the grid, with features such as carbon fibre components, official Pirelli tyres and functional steering on our latest models. That makes it the natural choice for a private collection, a gallery, a showroom or a hospitality space.

Are the F1® show cars full size?

Yes. Our Show Cars are full-scale replicas of the race cars they represent. A specialist can confirm the exact dimensions of any car and advise on space, access and installation for your location.

Do you ship Formula 1® cars internationally?

Yes. We deliver worldwide. Our team has longstanding experience in global trade and single-seater car transport, and will provide a bespoke shipping quote for your car and location. Import duties and local taxes vary by destination, and your specialist will talk you through what applies.
