The 1966 Honda S800 was the first model year, after the S800 was introduced at the 1965 Tokyo Motor Show to replace the Honda S600, whose production dropped off in 1966 as Honda shifted to the new car. Its 791 cc straight four produced 70 hp at 8000 rpm, making this Honda's first 100 mph automobile while still allowing for 35 mpg. Early examples continued to use the chain drive and independent suspension in the rear.
