One McLaren owner has immortalized Ayrton Senna without a Senna, instead commissioning a P1 GTR in the late Brazilian race driver’s iconic Formula 1 livery. For the past three years, McLaren Special Operations slaved over this P1 GTR as the McLaren production line switched to ever more exclusive models including the Senna GTR and soon, the Speedtail. But that's because this P1 GTR is more than a paint job.

Even as Formula 1 recently banned tobacco advertising-and in the 1980s, the individual country bans that forced McLaren to delete its lead sponsor's logo with hash marks, as seen here-we all know the Marlboro man is shining down on this McLaren.
