Honda S800 Racing

The Honda S800 is a small two-door sports car manufactured by Honda from 1966 to 1970 and acted as Hondas flagship offering, replacing the S600. It was powered by a 0.8L inline-4 which revved to 9,500 rpm, mated to a 4-speed manual; it was often described as the fastest production 1-liter car in the world at the time due to its high-revving engine. It was available in coupe and roadster formats. This casting is a replica of the 1968 Honda S800 prepared by the Honda Racing Service Center which won the GT-1 class at the 1968 12 Hours of Suzuka. It featured an enlarged 0.9L inline-4 making over 100 horsepower and was driven by Kuniomi Nagamatsu and Yoshifumi Kikura in that race.
