It's too bad McLaren F1 had to compromise with BMW V12 because Honda didn't want to make it.
What Gordon Murray really wanted to put in the McLaren F1 was Honda's 4.5L V10 or V12...but Honda declined 3 times to produce the engine for McLaren F1.
I heard that Honda declined to build engine for Lotus Exige or Esprit.
I really don't understand why, wouldn't it be honorable for Honda to build engine for McLaren and Lotus? I mean they're both high class car manufactures. Can't believe Honda ditched them.
