One day we look to jet design to help us build a better car, and end up building a better jet. Shifting the position of our engines makes way for a more aerodynamic design, which allows us to minimise the engine size, and vastly improve fuel efficiency. It also creates more interior space for the important things. Like passengers.
It's 1972 and the world faces a fuel crisis. Soichiro Honda already has it solved. The 1st generation Honda Civic.
We start a revolution with 4 letters. VTEC. Engines will never be the same again.
To design the safest car, we first design the world's busiest crash test facility.
Our research robot acquires fine motor skills, then passes them on to every car in our range.
We put new ideas in aerodynamics to the ultimate test. Flight.
The Honda engine makes its IndyCar debut. Just 3 years later, it’s the only engine left in the race.
Fireblade lives up to its name, posting a record Isle of Man TT lap that remains unbeaten.
