The Benetton B189 was a Formula One racing car designed by Rory Byrne for Benetton's 1989 season. It was built around Ford-Cosworth's new HBA1 75 degree V8, a different layout from the 90 degree DFR used in the B188, so its debut slipped to the French Grand Prix after the older car covered the first rounds and Alessandro Nannini crashed the only example in testing. It brought the team its second Grand Prix victory when Nannini was awarded the Japanese Grand Prix after Ayrton Senna was disqualified, and he added second place in Australia, where Emanuele Pirro scored points. A modified B189B raced the first two rounds of 1990 before the B190 replaced it.
