The Honda sports car has its origin in this S series model. An open-top two-seater rear-wheel drive vehicle, it is equipped with a straight-four DOHC engine. S series engines gradually increased in size over time, from the prototype's 360 cc to 500 cc, and then to 600 cc. The S800's was an even bigger 791 cc that could generate 69 BHP. The clear inspiration for the S2000, it is, in essence, its direct ancestor.

The Honda S series will always be remembered for the bold way it used to tear up the track! Honda's first mass-produced car, it was also a true racer that was active before its official release. In 1963, a year before its debut, it was entered to compete in a famous European rally, the Marathon de la Route. A year later, after its debut, the Honda S600 pulled off a stunning GT1-class victory at the Japanese Grand Prix. In the same year, it also competed in world endurance races, such as the Nürburgring 310.7 miles, where it won best-in-class! Around this time, Honda was also performing well in F1, and had established itself as a major player in motorsport. 1966 saw the arrival of this 791 cc-engine-powered S800... A car that was at the vanguard of Japanese racing well into the 1970s. At the time, Honda had plans to establish a motorsport support department for S series competition racers. This initiative would later result in the creation of the Racing Service Centre (RSC)... Which is today the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), a division of Honda overseeing its motorsport activities. Indeed, the S series is an indispensable part of Honda and Japan's racing history!

My friend bought one of these when it came out. I recall being impressed by the beautiful engine. It had all the makings of a genuine sports car. But it was scaled proportionally to match the size of a kei-car. Just like the original Fiat 500! How I loved that short-stroke 5-speed manual. It had a solid, mechanical feel to it... Even if it did get notchy often. In any event, it inspired my decision to give the Miata a short-stroke shifter... Without the notchiness, of course.

==Trivia==
*In the conversation with Tom Matano at the Café in GT7, the 3rd sentence is missing the word 'of' in-game which leads to the sentence displaying as 'It had all the makings a genuine sports car.'
