In 1966, during its first F1 campaign, Honda introduced the “RA273,” equipped with a 3L V12 engine compliant with the new engine regulations. In 1967, Tamiya released a 1/12 scale model of this car, which garnered a huge response worldwide due to its precise reproduction. In this video, Hikaru Miyagi, who also serves as a test driver for the Honda Collection Hall, explains the features of the actual car. We explore the appeal of this masterpiece that transcends time and conveys the history of motorsport and model making.
