Le V12 Honda de 1967. L'échappement est une oeuvre d'art à lui tout seul.
Anecdote concernant le BRM 16 cylindres. Un ami a possédé une auto avec ce moteur et il disait que chaque fois que le moteur était démarré le vacarme infernal arrivait aux oreilles de son banquier qui s'inquiétait de ce que cela allait encore coûter vu la fiabilité désastreuse et les coûts astronomiques de remise en état.Magnifique le V12 de 67 !!
