The Legacy of the Honda S800: From Road to RC

In the early 1960s, Honda transitioned from being a motorcycle powerhouse to making its mark in the world of motorcar racing. The S800, introduced in 1965, was a testament to Honda's engineering prowess. This sports car, available as both a coupe and a roadster, boasted a high-revving engine capable of delivering 70hp, propelling the lightweight 710kg vehicle to speeds up to 160km/h. Now, Tamiya brings this iconic vehicle to life in the form of a 1/10 scale RC model, offering enthusiasts a chance to relive the golden era of automotive innovation.
