I think a McLaren partnership with Honda makes sense. They have a very successful past history, and a Honda badge will shortly be appearing on a McLaren F1 car. This doesn't dilute the McLaren brand one bit for me, as long as McLaren still have their own bespoke engines.This was inevitable, although not necessarily with Honda. Last week Aston announced that AMG bought 5% of Aston stock and even though they would not have any voting rights, they would collaborate on power train issues and development . I will be the first in line for the P13 and look at this development as a very positive sign. I did not mean to infer that Honda was not an appropriate suitor......I just knew a deal like this was highly likely, I just didn't know with whom.
I think the most important thing about all this is that it does make sense. There is historical precedent, pedigree and provenance. And alliteration apparently.I think a McLaren partnership with Honda makes sense. They have a very successful past history, and a Honda badge will shortly be appearing on a McLaren F1 car.

I'm afraid the same cannot be said of Aston. Looks they are now consigning themselves to the status of coach builder.
Maybe not the first, but the Nissan 300ZX had it. It was called Super HICAS (High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering).Porsche seems to be making good use of rear wheel steering technology. I remember that first appearing on a Japanese car about 25 years ago. Can't recall which one though.
I've got an ultra-pristine 1991 240SX with HICAS sitting in my storage garage.Maybe not the first, but the Nissan 300ZX had it. It was called Super HICAS (High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering).

According to Wiki, the rear wheel steering makes them a favourite for drifters.I've got an ultra-pristine 1991 240SX with HICAS sitting in my storage garage.
Honestly, I would never push an over 21 year old car, so drifting is not happening, lol.According to Wiki, the rear wheel steering makes them a favourite for drifters.
Have you noticed any advantage in this respect?
