Honda is a Japanese multinational conglomerate automotive manufacturer headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, Japan.
Overview[]
Founded by Soichiro Honda in 1946, Honda is a carmaker, former Formula One team and current engine supplier. Soichiro Honda was known for having a special relationship with three-time Formula One champion Ayrton Senna. Also, Honda was the first Japanese car company to have a dedicated luxury brand: Acura. Formerly, Honda participated in Formula One as a constructor in 1964 but withdrew in 1992. In 2015, Honda returned as an engine supplier, supplying for McLaren, as a tribute to Ayrton Senna, because during the time of Ayrton Senna, Honda powered Senna's McLaren cars to victory. As of 2019, the brand supplies engines for Scuderia Toro Rosso and Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. At the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen won the race, marking Honda's first victory of F1's V6 turbo-hybrid era. Honda currently supplies engines to Williams, McLaren, Ligier, and Jordan F1 teams.

Trivia[]
- In Asphalt 7's game files, an unused graphic for a Honda logo can be seen. When further digging into the files, texts can be found referencing the Honda CR-Z and the Honda NSX.
- These cars were most likely cut due to Honda not wanting their cars to coexist with police in video games until the mid 2010s, which in this case, Asphalt 7 has the Dodge Charger SRT8 Police.
