Ok, so it is from 1965 and is an F1 engine. However, it did net Japan it's first win in F1, at the Mexican Gran Prix in 1965.

1.5L V12, 13,000rpm, 240hp, car is ~1000lbs.

Honda had this car out to run some demonstration laps at Laguna Seca recently.

The movie Grand Prix from 1966 features James Garner as driver Pete Aron who is fired from BRM racing for being too reckless. He makes his comeback with a newcomer to the F1 circuit, Yamura, a Japanese team based on the real life Honda F1 team. It’s interesting that while the film used actual manufacture team names for the other cars, Honda was not used and a fictional name used in its place.
