Following the recent thread about Senna on the PH homepages, I was fascinated with his persona and driving style. His control in the White NSX in the video was fantastic and the toe and heeling was something that i can only aspire to learn.
The man was a legend and his anonymous donations to charity, commendable.

I have been reading up all i can about the man and noticed that he had several very nice cars. Obviously he had a NSX, and I have seen pictures of him with a XR3 (not even the i). I have also read that he had a UR S4 Audi and was seen in a 944 S2.

I was wondering what sort of cars he would be driving were he still alive today?

I have been memorized by his skill and reading wiki the wiki page, seems to suggest that he was critical in the imports of Audi's into his home country of Brazil.

Would it be an Audi?

But then again, i see pictures of Mercedes 190 Cosworths with Senna stickers and rumours of him owning the mighty 500E/E500.

I think he would now be the Walter Rohrl of Honda and we wouldn't have been faced with the lack of exciting products from them for so many years.

I'd vote that he'd be running around in an NSX replacement half way between the new one and the old one.

With a host of classics in his garage too.
