Honda V12 transverse engine
i know that the Honda RA272 that raced in 1965 has an V12 engine trasversal mounted .... this car won the last race in 1965, the Mexican GP ... the problem is that i heard that one of the reason that Honda were able to win was that the high altitude at wich the Mexican GP was run .. favored the Honda cars because of the trasverse mounting ....
What I would like to know .. is why .. a transverse mounted engine ... works better then a longitudinally mounted one .. ????? |
