Overview
- The RA100E-V805 is the only intact V10 engine Senna raced, delivering pole at the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix and retiring on lap 62 of that year’s Australian GP
- Honda Racing Corporation has arranged the engine’s components in a bespoke glass showcase complete with an original certificate of authenticity
- Bonhams will auction the power unit without a minimum bid on August 15 at The Quail during Monterey Car Week
- This sale serves as the inaugural offering in HRC’s new memorabilia venture, with additional historic artifacts scheduled for future auctions
- Most of the 200 RA100E engines were dismantled post-race, making the surviving V805 a uniquely rare piece of motorsport history
