The Honda RA107 is a Formula One racing car with which Honda Racing F1 contested the 2007 Formula One season. A modified version of the RA107, renamed the Super Aguri SA08 was used by Super Aguri in the 2008 Formula One season. The RA107 was the first Formula One car designed under former HRC motorcycle designer, Shuhei Nakamoto.
The car scored a best result of 5th at the Chinese Grand Prix and finished 8th in the constructors' championship. It featured a livery depicting planet Earth against a black background of space in order to raise environmental awareness, for which Honda won two awards at the 2007 Green Awards.[3]
