HONDA The Power of Dreams

After winning the WGP (FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix,
commonly known as MotoGP) in 1961,
Honda decided to take on the challenge of F1 Grand Prix racing as a training ground
for its technology in entering the automobile business.
The RA271, incorporating Honda’s know-how from motorcycle racing,
was powered by an advanced, transversely mounted V12 engine,
with a displacement of only 1.5 L.
