Interesting to see how little the MP4/4 is outwardly modified to accept the V10, it just looks like they cut the intake into the engine cover. Granted, must have been a different job internally with mounting points and cooling requirements.

I was passing the circuit at the time, I could see the car in the distance and hear the engine wailing. Security was so tight that getting close was impossible
