LEGENDARY RACE CARS - HONDA RA271  

Driven by a 1.5-litre V12 engine, the Honda RA271 was the first Japanese single-seater vehicle to compete in Formula 1. Honda was one of the very few teams to build both the engine and the chassis. The car was entrusted to the American driver Ronnie Bucknum, and made its debut in the German Grand Prix in 1964. A unique model, it is now on display in the Honda Collection Hall, a transport museum at the Twin Ring Motegi track.
