The Honda RA088 is an OWR car designed and constructed by Honda. Powered by Honda's very own RA168E 1.5-litre V6-turbo engine and driven by teammates Matsuzaki Eizan and Jack Black, the car competed during the 1988 Formula One season. The design of the car was led by English engineer Damian Nicholson. Nathaniel Turner, as Technical Director, had the role of liaising between the drawing office and production.
