The Honda S800 was the first Japanese automobile that could be purchased through a dealer network in Germany. 1966 small sports car in Paris was presented at the Motor Show, from December 66, he was then available.
Engine size:
800cc displacement, 4-cylinder, 68 horsepower. This was enough to speed up the only 740 kg heavy car to a top speed of 160 km / h.
The tank capacity was 35 liters, the consumption about 9 liters.

Famous the Honda S800 was for its very high-revving engine. According to factory specifications a speed of 10,000 rev / min was possible.
An anecdote tells that the techn. University Braunschweig wanted to test it on your test bench. The speed was increased more and more until there was a loud bang at 12,000 revolutions. However, it was not the engine of the Honda, but the test rig which exploded .....

For Model:
Wonderfully detailed model of AUTOart.
The finish is flawless, the gap dimensions extremely low. The engine is perfectly implemented and the interior can with much more expensive models readily absorb. Chromed ads in Chockpit, a wonderfully delicate steering wheel and seats that show a perfect imitation of leather seats (including "Used" structure ...)
A hood is and even an additionally attachable sun visor above the windscreen there.
