The Honda RC100, also known as the RC-F1 1.0X, was a prototype Formula One car built by engineers from the Honda R&D Center in Tochigi, though not as an official Honda project. Developed in 1991 and powered by a Honda V12, its chassis was inspired by the McLaren MP4/6. Wind tunnel tests were unsatisfactory, so the engineers reworked it using elements of the 1992 Footwork FA13 and a more powerful engine; the updated RC101B was shown to the specialist press in February 1992 and tested by Honda president Nobuhiko Kawamoto and then by Satoru Nakajima at Suzuka. An evolved RC101 was unveiled in January 1994 and the RC101B was updated through 1996.
