The cars that you'll find on a Formula One track are very different from the new Honda models that we have for sale at our Bakersfield, CA dealership. However, every single vehicle with the Honda name on it boasts a powerful engine, regardless of whether it's driven by a professional driver on a closed course or by one of our Valencia area customers around the neighborhood doing errands.
When it comes to its F1 vehicles, though, the automaker doesn't hold back. The brand recently released information about a beast of an engine that will appear on the McLaren Formula One car in 2015, and we can't wait to hear it roar.
In fact, you can hear it zip around a test track in the following YouTube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=431h20gvm3M Sounds pretty sweet, doesn't it?
Future Formula One vehicles are going to be required to have smaller engines, and it made perfect sense for McLaren to partner with the Japanese automaker to create a unit that is powerful enough to still bring home victories while following the new standards. Instead, they focused on building a lighter, more aerodynamic frame with advanced features so that the car could be fast with less horsepower.
Of course, you won't find any F1 cars here at Barber Honda, but we do have a great selection of powerful and fun to drive models that are probably more within your budget than a race car would be. Contact our dealership to learn about our lease and loan options.
