| This was Japan’s first Formula 1 car, and was created by Honda based on motorcycle technology. The laterally mounted V12 engine produced 220 ps/12,000 rpm, and the rear featured 4 exhaust pipes that each served 3 cylinders. The body was also a Honda-designed original, but it exceeded the minimum weight requirement by 75 kg as it had to support an engine weight of 209 kg. |
