Or you could not even name the car. I would just talk about what it took to produce this car. Build it up... Keep your audience guessing... show the pictures, video, still let them guess. A few guys will know... But keep it intriguing. Don't let the cat out of the bag until the end. Of you can choose to give the entire speech and not name the car. When the audience has to guess, and ask each other questions, and some guess wrong, you've created intrigue... Then next speaker goes up and they may still be arguing about the presentation YOU GAVE. Instead of naming soichiro Honda or ayrton senna you can say "but the CEO of one car company decided to challenge the best in the world. Manufacturers like Ferrari and Lamborgini, to beat them at their own game"... "With the help of the most celebrated race car driver of all time. A man that ferrari's own 6 time formula one champion, Michael Schumacher, called "the best". A man who ultimately gave up his life for the dedication to his craft.
Senna is certainly a story, not only do a lot of people not know who he is, but when you mention his name they think he is still alive. The tragic death is going to create some level of emotion.... You can really build on this. A picture of senna as the good looking guy who helped the poor in his country, who was a national hero, a picture of the crash, the sadness of the death, followed by a picture of senna washing his NSX. Build the story. A part of senna lives on in every NSX.
I mean there really is a story here. At the end of the top gear episode, there is a small video clip of Jeremy clarkson saying "I used to always thing Villanueve was the best driver of all time. But Villanueve was spectacular on many occasions, whereas senna.... Senna was spectacular on every occasion"
What is the NSX? to the audience you can actually introduce the NSX as senna's car.
Talk about the Mclaren F1. Maybe the most iconic supercar of all time. Talk about how it's designer Gordon Murray. The man who said he saw the NSX as the standard by which he judged a supercar.
This is how you get to your female audience. Through the senna story. You have to go deeper than features and colors IMO. You can show a 5-10 second clip of senna testing the NSX at Suzuka. I mean how familiar are your yourself with this stuff? If not, familiarize yourself first. Take the parts that are moving, and incorporate those into yor story. You have to tell a story. You are going up there to tell a story and capture your audience. This is actually quite a fun challenge IMO.
The Jeremy clarkson scene at the very end:

A tribute speech means you can get emotional and dramatic to a point......being able to entertain a crowd while speaking about anything is a gift.....a little humor helps along the way.
