Due to the Ind圜ar Series chassis and engine development freeze beginning in 2008, Ind圜ar Series kept the Honda Indy V8 3rd generation model until 2011 season for cost reasons. HI7R-HI11R was a highly successful engine as it was the only one in competition with 86 pole positions, fastest laps, and wins respectively including 2008 Nikon Indy 300 exhibition race and 5 Indianapolis 500s. HI7R-HI11R engine supplied for all Ind圜ar Series teams. HI7R-HI11R engine was developed and assembled by Honda in Santa Clarita, California, USA ( Honda Performance Development's current headquarters) but remained under support from Ilmor Engineering for partial design R&D, trackside support, engine arrangement, tune-up and engine maintenance. HI7R-HI11R's capacity reverted to 3.5-liters respectively since 2007 season. This family was designed as a replacement for the HI6R but enlarged to better accommodate variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management while still generating good performance. Since Chevrolet and Toyota left Ind圜ar Series after 2005 season, Honda won exclusive tender Ind圜ar Series engine supplier for 2006 to 2011 seasons. With subsequent evolutions named HI5R and HI6R, Honda was clearly dominant engine, scoring 33 poles, 35 fastest laps, 41 wins totally in three seasons including 3 Indianapolis 500s. Developed once again by Ilmor and designated as HI4R-A, its capacity was 3.0-liter and debuted at the 2004 Indianapolis 500. Honda designed a new engine to address the 2004 IRL rule change which required reduced displacement. A revised engine named HI4R was used in 2004 until new regulations came into effect at the 2004 Indianapolis 500. Honda's 2003 stats were 3 pole positions, 6 fastest laps and 2 wins. Honda supplied Andretti Green Racing, Team Rahal, Fernández Racing and Access Motorsports teams. HPD and Ilmor provide trackside support and engine rebuilding services to teams. Developed by Honda Performance Development(HPD) with technical support from Ilmor and designated as HI3R, engine's capacity was 3.5-liter. Honda debuted Ind圜ar Series as engine supplier in 2003 season after a CART successful era. Honda Indy V8 was unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show and assembled at HPD power assembly plant in Santa Clarita, California, USA and Ilmor Engineering Inc.
