Honda V8 F1 engine

Honda has made two variations of a four-stroke, naturally-aspirated, V8 racing engines to compete in Formula One. First, a 3-litre engine in 1968; which had its only competitive outing at the infamous, and ultimately tragic 1968 French Grand Prix, in which driver Jo Schlesser was killed.[5] Second, a 2.4-litre engine was introduced in 2006, to comply with the new Formula One regulations.[2][6] Honda ultimately had to pull out of Formula One after 2008, due to the global financial crisis. The customer engines were used by both Honda and Super Aguri teams.
