Honda S600 - Tamiya 1/24 Sports Car Series

Honda initially gained worldwide recognition for their motorcycles, but they also quickly expanded into the world of automobile manufacturing. At the 1962 Tokyo Motor Show, they unveiled their first 4-wheeled vehicle, the S500 roadster. Just two years later, they introduced the S600, featuring a powerful 606cc, 57hp engine that rivalled competition from even racing cars at the time. To add to its uniqueness, Honda used chain drive units to transfer power to the rear wheels of the car. The S600 became a popular export to Europe and a familiar sight on the racing tracks in Japan, solidifying its place in Japanese sports car history and making it a must-have in the Tamiya collection.
