Honda is a unique brand, at the forefront in various fields: motorcycles, automobiles, robotics, aviation and marine engines. Founded in 1947 by Soïchiro Honda, the company has always focused on technology. A passionate fan of technology and competition, Soïchiro Honda constantly innovated and improved his engines. After dominating motorcycle circuits in the 1960s, he launched into Formula 1, where Honda has a record comparable to Ford or Ferrari. This book presents the mythical models of Honda, from the S800 to the NSX, with a historical text and numerous photos, including unpublished images of rare models.
When the Honda S800 Coupe was introduced in Germany in 1966, many car journalists were surprised. The engine of this small sports car produced 67 hp from just 791 cc, which was the power of a race car when calculated per liter of displacement. Initial skeptics were soon proven wrong. The four-carburetor engine was very reliable. The S800 was also sold in a stylish convertible version. Today, Honda S800 models are sought-after rarities. This publication honors this fantastic and groundbreaking vehicle. The author offers insights with expertise and humor, covering the history of the Honda S800, technical details, and a variety of previously unpublished images. A successful work that does justice to the Honda S800.
