Photo Gallery «Honda S800 - the son of a Grand Prix winner»
Between 1966 and 1970, Honda built the S800 as a coupé and convertible. In contrast to its predecessor, the S600, which was only occasionally seen in this country, Honda also sold the speedster in our latitudes with some success. Anyone who heard it was thrilled, because its engine revved up to 9000 rpm and even significantly higher if necessary. And this was at a time when Formula 1 engines delivered their maximum power at well below 10,000 rpm. This driving report describes the S800 and shows it in current and historical pictures, supplemented by several sales brochures, technical data and the 80-page manual from back then.
