27WON Performance (pronounced "Two-Seven-One") was birthed from a deep passion for making cars look and perform at a completely new level.
Our founders originally began their background customizing and racing their personal cars before starting another performance company specifically designed for Mazdas back in 1998. Following the growth and success of that company, we set our sights on bringing over two decades worth of experience in our industry to the Honda category.
Named after the first Honda Formula 1 car to enter a race, 27Won Performance is the culmination of our combined business knowledge, customer excellence, superior engineering, and straight-up love of cars all packed into one incredible super-brand.
History
The Honda RA271 was Honda's second Formula One racing car, and its first to actually enter a race. It was driven in three races during 1964 by American driver Ronnie Bucknum.
The car was developed from the company's 1963 prototype, retrospectively designated RA270. It was developed around Honda's revolutionary F1 engine, a 1.5 L V12, at a time when V8s dominated the F1 paddock, as constructed by BRM, Climax, Ferrari and ATS. The only other major manufacturer deviating from the received V8 wisdom were Ferrari, who experimented with both V6 and flat-12 layouts, although they ultimately elected to stick with their V8. No other manufacturers were running V12s at the time. The RA271 made its race debut during the 1964 Formula One season, just one year after Honda started producing road cars, and was the first Japanese-built car ever to enter a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship.
Only one RA271 was ever built.
