    Test cars were built with 7.4 liter chevy v8 while awaiting the v12...but they didn't want a chevy engine because after all the car is the F1 and they wanted formula 1 heritage.

    Honda was the first choice as the engine builder, not BMW
    Honda refused
    Isuzu was the second choice, at the time was planning entry into forumla 1 racing with a 3.5 liter v12. But then BMW put in a bid, and they decided to go with that.

    Power to weight, drag co-efficent, and suspension is why that car is so freakin fast on a track. Any of the engines they went with would have been great.

    even still, they went with the m power. i didn't know isuzu could make anything that was actually good, nor was i aware they had a foray into f1. maybe cause i was like 8 at the time..

    I like the Nissan 370z more than the G35, but the G35 is still a sex machine.

    "During this time, we were able to visit with Ayrton Senna (the late F1 Champion) and Honda's Tochigi Research Center. The visit related to the fact that at the time, McLaren's F1 Grand Prix cars were using Honda engines. Although it's true I had thought it would have been better to put a larger engine, the moment I drove the Honda NSX, all the benchmark cars-Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini-I had been using as references in the development of my car vanished from my mind. Of course the car we would create, the McLaren F1, needed to be faster than the NSX, but the NSX's ride quality and handling would become our new design target. Being a fan of Honda engines, I later went to Honda's Tochigi Research Center on two occasions and requested that they consider building for the McLaren F1 a 4.5 liter V10 or V12. I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine." --Gordon Murray (designer of F1)

    He wanted honda because they had been powering Mclaren's forumla 1 cars for some time.

    The Isuzu engine would have been stuffed in a lotus chasis. It would have made the F1 even cooler imo. (picture below) But it had never raced and had a heritage and unproven reliability problem.

    I think it's unfair to credit bmw with the success of the F1, as many engine builders could have delivered a quality engine within the specified specs. It's not a BMW although BMW did a nice job, came in over weight but also over power for spec.

    i have no idea how you go from an NSX to a 6l v12... nsx's are amazing cars, but not at all the kind to rely on big displacement for big power. i can imagine it took a lot of work to translate the huge bmw engine into a car similar in style to the nsx (quick, fairly light, small, rev happy engine)

    regardless, they are my 2nd fav car ever (behind porsche carrera gt) and i just used them as an example of some nice M power implementation.

    The NSX was never designed to make big power because of Japanese car makers' "gentlemen's agreement" not to exceed 206 kW (276 hp).

    Honda knows how to make a heck of a performance engine because of their racing experience despite almost all production models being rubber band powered. I'm guessing honda didn't know the price point would be so far and away from the NSX, and they didn't want to have any part of making it look like a lame duck.

    F1 is a good choice for a top list of cars, I think it's on every car guy's list. You can bet at the time knowone knew just how big a deal the car would be or the longevity of it's following. I'm sure Honda, Ferrari, and Mercedes are kicking themselves in the nuts for not having their engine power it.

    yeah i know the nsx's aren't big on power, like the skylines are now (or at least the r34s)

    i wouldn't mind seeing mercedes build a new one, since they are f1 partners, another foray into road versions would be nice. but i guess thats kinda like what the slr was

    Get something that will last a Subaru or a Nissan that runs way better than a Infinity and looks much better. Waste of money IMO...

    A nissan runs better than a nissan
    haha, I wouldn't take to much car advise from that dude lol

    I agree, you got the impreza/wrx with more body clad than metal
    then what? Tribeca, Forester, and outback for big sellers...barf in my mouth

    I do dig the pancake engines, but subaru would have like no following with younger buyers if not for the WRX and the new ones are ugly.

    i hope you were joking about the new gt-r?

    lets sell a car with launch control, but if you use the launch control it voids the warranty. complete pile imo.

    It's a heck of a performer
    if you want an 80k nissan with chunky styling, a backseat that could only fit a 3 year old, nissan quality interior, suspension too stiff to tollerate on a regular drive, 3800 pounds of car, and don't like a stick shift in your sports cars. I see it appealing to only a select group of buyers.

    If I had 80k+ to spend on a car, that wouldn't be the car.

    me neither. i really liked the r34 but this one is so far away from it, its basically a new car, not just a new gen.

    i don't see why you would say he needs a 4 door when he just said he has no use for it..
