The McLaren MP4/3 Test Car used at the end of 1987 marks the historic first official contact between Ayrton Senna and the Woking-based team led by Ron Dennis, in preparation for the triumphant season to follow. The test session took place at the Silverstone circuit immediately after the end of the championship, where Senna, still under contract with Lotus, got behind the wheel of the single-seater powered by the 1.5-litre TAG Porsche TTE PO1 biturbo V6 engine. This test allowed the Brazilian driver to assess the characteristics of the carbon-fibre chassis designed by Steve Nichols and to provide the technicians with initial dynamic feedback before the definitive switch to the naturally aspirated and turbocharged Honda engines planned for 1988.
This 1:43 scale Minichamps replica accurately captures the car's Test Car configuration, without the standard race numbers on the sidepods and front nose. Made of die-cast metal, the model highlights the compact shapes of the sidepods and the radiator design typical of the MP4/3. The cockpit details include the analogue instrumentation of the era and the shaped seat housing the figure of Senna with his classic helmet.
