Honda RA16 engine

Automotive Engines

The Honda RA16 is a turbocharged, 1.5-litre, 80-degree V6 racing engine that Honda designed for Formula One use between 1983 and 1988. Honda debuted as an engine supplier with Spirit at the 1983 British Grand Prix and went on to supply Williams, Lotus, McLaren and Tyrrell, and the article notes that the company sometimes developed four to six quite different engines in a single season, sold under codes such as the RA163E, RA167E and RA168E. The RA16 family powered Williams to constructors' titles in 1986 and 1987 and McLaren, with the all-new RA168E in the McLaren MP4/4, to the 1988 title, and carried Nelson Piquet in 1987 and Ayrton Senna in 1988 to the world drivers' championship.
