The Super Aguri SA08 is a Formula One racing car with which Super Aguri F1 is contesting the 2008 Formula One season. The 2008 Super Aguri is based on a re-worked RA107 chassis used unsuccessfully by Honda F1 in the 2007 Formula One season. Unfortunately for the team, this meant an immediate lack of pace similar to the Honda car used last year, as evidenced by the fact that the team qualified last in the first three grand prix.
The car competed in four Grands Prix before the team withdrew from F1 due to financial problems. Its best result was a thirteenth place for Takuma Sato at the Spanish Grand Prix.
