  "summary": "Ayrton Senna's rare Honda NSX has shattered auction expectations, selling for £871,250 at RM Sotheby's in London on October 31st, exceeding its estimated £500,000 to £800,000 range. The iconic car, previously owned by the late racing legend, boasted a six-cylinder three-litre engine with a top speed of 165mph and could accelerate from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds. Senna tested the NSX extensively at the Suzuka Circuit, and his association with the vehicle is deeply ingrained in motorsport history. The auction also featured a 2002 Ferrari 550 Maranello, a 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso by Scaglietti, and a 1903 Clement AC4R 12/16 HP Rear-Entrance Tonneau.",
