Remember the engine and drive train vibrations in early 240z road testing in USA/Canada.

 

 

Well Honda has it in their 2017 F1 cars:

 

"We did some good progress in the mono-cylinder on the dyno, but as soon as we complete the V6 engine we had many issues.

"What we achieved in mono-cylinder is at a very good level, but when we transfer exactly the same specification to the V6 engine it doesn't work. We are very disappointed. But it was too late that we noticed that – at Christmas.

"After we understand the issues this was the time we need to confirm the final specification - we needed to have some compromise."

Honda has encountered further problems with instability and vibrations since the engine was installed and run in the McLaren MCL32.

"We have huge vibrations," added Hasegawa, who says Honda's new engine currently produces "almost the same power" as the 2016 unit.

"The only thing I can tell is that on the dyno we didn't have such a big issue - when we have a gearbox, driveshaft and tyre it has some resonance. I'm not blaming the chassis; we have to realise the situation on the dyno as well."

 

 

A V6 in an F1 car I long for the sound of those screaming V10s.
