Unique & Limited applied their typically exacting approach to ensuring all research, concept development and digital photography and advanced CGI were absolutely faithful to the original race car.
It was a process that took Unique’s team of highly skilled artists almost four months to complete.
The 3D model of the MP4/4 was recreated with every minor dent, scratch and scuff from the race, and the same level of painstaking care and attention to detail went into the location, characters and supporting props that were used to establish the scene at Imola. The image was also created in collaboration with the Senna Foundation, with the practical support of Ayrton’s nephew Bruno, who depicted his legendary uncle during a photographic session for the print, held in Prague last October.
McLaren Executive Director, Zak Brown said “In 2018 McLaren will be celebrating a number of landmark anniversaries, and it’s great to see Unique & Limited kicking things off with a print of two of McLaren’s greatest icons, the iconic MP4/4 and the legendary Ayrton Senna. It’s incredible to think that it’s been 30 years since two giants of the sport, Ayrton and Alain Prost were battling against each other in arguably the most iconic Formula one car ever created. Unique’s print captures the intensity of that remarkable season, as well as the timeless beauty of the car and the turbo charged era. It looks absolutely fantastic.”
In addition, model makers Amalgam simultaneously revealed a one off 1:8 edition of the MP4/4 in weathered racing condition and was available at the Retromobile Car show in Paris 2018, and was to be purchased in combination with one of Unique’s large art pieces.
