He had input and tested extensively but he didn't design it... he wasn't an engineer. I remember an article on jalopnik mentioning Ito as the lead designer now CEO.

i get you're a big fanboy of senna, but there's a difference between testing and designing.

yea... I love top gear as much as the next guy, but if you watch top gear for facts, you're watching the wrong thing. And Wiki? Comeon..

Brazilian Formula One World Champion Ayrton Senna, for whom Honda had powered all three of his world championship-winning Formula One race cars before his death in 1994, was considered Honda's main innovator in convincing the company to stiffen the NSX chassis further after testing the car at Honda's Suzuka GP circuit in Japan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_NSX#First_generation_.281990.E2.80.932005.29

theres a big difference between he designed the chassis and he was test driving it and offered input as to how to make it better. it takes a team of engineers to design things like a chassis its not one formula 1 driver with no engineering experience.

wheres your mention of others who participated?

Honda automobile dealer Bobby Rahal (two-time CART PPG Cup and 1986 Indianapolis 500 champion) also participated in the car's development
Respected Japanese Formula One driver Satoru Nakajima, for example, was involved with Honda in the NS-X's early on track development at Suzuka race circuit, where he performed many endurance distance duties related to chassis tuning.
