Debuting at the opening round of the 1988 Formula One period, the McLaren Honda MP4/4 dominated throughout for an incredible 15 wins. Although handicapped by 150L fuel restrictions and reduced boot pressure, the RA 168 V6 twin turbo engine demonstrated exemplary fuel efficiency and higher power output compared to 3.5L naturally-aspirated engines. Chief engineer Steve Nicols designed a compact, streamlined chassis with the capacity of using full advantage of the powerful Honda motor. The fantasy mix of Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna took the MP4/4 to an overwhelming triumph within the final 12 months of turbo F1 racing.
