Honda Releases Glimpse of New F1 V6 Turbo Engine

A glimpse of the F1 Turbo Power Unit, newly developed by Honda, was recently released to the public.  This new engine was developed by Honda to supply McLaren vehicles throughout the 2015 racing season including the pre-season testing.  Having been named as the official supplier for McLaren, Honda is marking its return to the F1 racing world with a big power boost with this new engine model.

“Working toward Honda’s F1 participation starting in the 2015 season, development of the power unit is entering its prime phase at our R&D facility in Sakura (Tochigi, Japan), where we transferred our automobile motor sports development earlier this year,” Yasuhisa Arai, Senior Managing Officer of Honda R&D, said. “In addition to conducting simulations, we have moved onto the next stage where we conduct full-fledged bench tests of the engine while connecting the turbocharger and energy recovery systems.”
