This is the catalogue record of the Honda RA302, one of 277 models Honda has placed in the historical record and one of more than seventeen thousand cars the MotorJury library tracks. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

The record does not fix a firm introduction year for the Honda RA302, which is itself informative: cars without a clean launch date are usually prototypes, coachbuilt specials, or models whose history was written down long after the fact. The catalogue keeps them anyway, because the odd corners of the record are where the interesting machines hide.

The numbers, read closely

The open record carries no verified specification sheet for the Honda RA302 yet — no engine entry, no quoted output, no kerb weight. That is not unusual: of the seventeen-thousand-plus cars in this library, thousands are concepts, racers and regional models whose numbers were never formally published. MotorJury's nightly harvest re-reads Wikidata and the Wikipedia infoboxes on every build, so the moment a specification is added to the public record it appears here without anyone touching this page.

Its place in the Honda story

Within Honda's own catalogue the Honda RA302 sits alongside the Honda Envix, the Honda Crider, the HPD ARX-03, the Honda 0 SUV. The record names the RA301 | Successor = RA106 | Designer = Yoshio Nakamura, / Shoichi Sano | Team = Honda Racing France | Drivers = Jo Schlesser | Chassis = Magnesium-skinned monocoque | Front suspens as its predecessor and the RA106 | Designer = Yoshio Nakamura, / Shoichi Sano | Team = Honda Racing France | Drivers = Jo Schlesser | Chassis = Magnesium-skinned monocoque | Front suspension = double-wishbon as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Yoshio Nakamura, / Shoichi Sano | Team = Honda Racing France | Drivers = Jo Schlesser | Chassis = Magnesium-skinned monocoque | Front suspension = double-wishbone| Rear suspension .

On the record

The Honda RA302 also has a competition record: 0 | Cons_champ = 0 | Drivers_champ = 0 | Poles = 0 | Fastest_laps = 0 recorded wins from 1 | Wins = 0 | Cons_champ = 0 | Drivers_champ = 0 | Poles = 0 | Fastest_laps = 0 starts and 0 | Drivers_champ = 0 | Poles = 0 | Fastest_laps = 0 championships. A race history changes how a car should be valued — competition machines appreciate on provenance, not depreciation curves.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

The catalogue records what the Honda RA302 was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
