Some serious Honda racing V-6 muscle seen at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the new HI12RT IndyCar engine.

 

Thats Pretty Claude!

Too bad they didnt do so hot with the nsx.
Green Treehuggery!

 

Sick, Im hoping to see Honda come back to F1 as an engine supplier with a similar motor for the new rules in 2013.

 

wish they would have atleast hung the exhaust manifolds on there and maybe a turbo.

cool shots, thanks!

 

A few more pics of the new V6 engine, and of the Formula F(ord) Honda HPD L15A7, and the outgoing Honda IndyV8 engine.

 

Mmm that V8. Art.

The V6 is interesting. Cant wait to see what comes of that. Wish more of this hit production models and they actually still made a fun (proper) car to put it in.

 

For the Honda V6, the turbochager is a single Borg Warner unit based on the EFR 9180, but with a custom compact center section and housings so that it can fit inside the bellhousing. I'm interested to see what the powertrain looks like assembled, weird imagining a turbocharger inside a bellhousing.

If the turbocharger is indeed in the bellhousing I'm also curious how well it will be cooled...

 

but does it fit in a civic?

 

Awww I miss the sound of a turbo charged Honda cart/champcar/indy car engine...

I wonder if the new V6 will sound like these old Turbo'd Honda's?:

Ahhhhh JM thats the old Comptech Indy car with Parker Johnstone driving!
Circa 1995- 1996 with a Reynard Chassis

Them were the days when they turbo'd everything in CART
