What is the provenance of the exhaust components in The Final Lap?

The exhaust system was designed for the McLaren MP4/6, the car Ayrton Senna drove to his third and final Formula 1 World Championship in 1991. No one can say for certain that this specific exhaust was fitted to the exact chassis Senna raced, but its 1991 McLaren championship-era provenance is unquestioned. It is original period hardware, not a replica or reproduction.

Is The Final Lap Senna sculpture an original or a replica?

Every component of the exhaust system in The Final Lap is original McLaren race-era hardware from the 1991 championship season. The piece is not a reproduction, copy, or licensed print. The carbon fibre plinth and stainless steel mounting pole are fabricated structural elements; the exhaust manifold itself is authentic original equipment.

Ayrton Senna Sculpture For Sale | McLaren MP4/6 Exhaust Art · The Final Lap

The market has spoken. In May 2025, Ayrton Senna's 1991 McLaren MP4/6 — the very car this exhaust was designed for — was offered at RM Sotheby's with a $15 million estimate. A Senna race helmet sold for nearly $1 million in April 2025. The market for McLaren MP4/6 provenance has never been stronger.

Provenance & Vision

A tribute
built from
the machine itself

"Escudero's tribute to Senna uses an exhaust designed for the McLaren MP4/6, the car that the Brazilian drove to title victory in 1991."

The exhaust system was designed for the 1991 McLaren MP4/6 — the Honda V12-powered car in which Ayrton Senna clinched his third and final Formula 1 World Championship title. Its provenance as a McLaren 1991 championship-era component is unquestioned.

What makes this Ayrton Senna sculpture extraordinary is not just what it is, but how it has been reimagined. Creator Geoffrey Escudero noticed that the V12 exhaust system's 12 pipes, arranged in their original configuration, bore a striking resemblance to the muscles and structure of a human chest. Strength, made visible in steel.

He chose to present the exhaust vertically — as Senna stood — at 230 centimetres. Eye level. Unmissable. The sculpture carries the name The Final Lap: a tribute to Senna's third and final championship season.

The Artist's Eye

Strength. Character.
The Final Lap.

Ayrton Senna operated in a dimension most drivers could not reach — equal parts engineer, philosopher, and phenomenon. When Geoffrey Escudero looked at the 12-pipe V12 exhaust of his McLaren, he didn't see scrap metal. He saw the physical structure of that defiance: ribs, chest, posture. A fighter's stance.

The name came from the same place. The Final Lap. Poignant without melodrama. It honours Senna's final championship — 1991 — and lets the object carry the weight of what followed.

The carbon fibre plinth grounds the sculpture in the language of the sport. The stainless steel pole carries the exhaust to standing height. The result reads as both industrial sculpture and emotional monument — equally at home in a private residence, a luxury hotel lobby, a corporate reception, or a racing team's headquarters.

This is the only piece of its kind. Once it sells, it is gone — and the opportunity to own original McLaren MP4/6 hardware in this form is gone with it.

"In this, Escudero was inspired by the arrangement of the system's 12 pipes, which he thought resembled the muscles and structure of a human chest. With this in mind, he decided to present the exhaust vertically."
