The McLaren MP4/4 of the 1988 season is considered to be one of the most successful car designs of all time. It was designed by the engineer Steve Nichols with assistance by team director Gordon Murray.

It is said that the Honda-powered MP4/4 was one of the most dominant cars ever, and it ruled the 1988 Formula One season like a king. The notable drivers for this car were Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, who drove side by side.

The Mclaren won all but one race and all but one pole position in the 1988 season. In other words, out of 16 races held in the 1988 Formula One season, this car won 15 races with a winning percentage of 93.8%.

The only car which came close to this was in 2016 when the Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid won 19 out of 21 races, for a winning percentage of 90.5%
