Having finally tasted success with the 1.5-liter RA272 the year before, the Honda engineers unfortunately had to start from nothing again, and the RA273 was not ready until the Italian GP in 1966. Featuring a lightweight monocoque frame with aluminum panels and powered by a 90-degree V12 engine, the car was driven by Richie Ginther and John Surtees, with Ginther finishing the season in a respectable 4th place overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/12 scale plastic model assembly kit.
