I always love dropping by Twin Ring Motegi. Spent a whole afternoon taking in the history behind one of Japan most accomplished sports car and race car makers. Here is a small selection of shots of road and race cars (didn't bother shooting the bikes....tooo many of the damn things!)
1964 Honda S600 Coupe. Powered by a 606 cc, DOHC 4-cylinder. Power? A close to 100PS/Liter 57 PS at 8,500 rpm. Max speed a pretty impressive 145 km/h. 715 Kg curb weight made it a real blast!
1966 S800. 791 cc for 70 PS at 8,000 rpm. 160 km/h & weight of 710 Kg.
The extremely small 1970 Honda Z. Powered by an equally small 354 cc air-cooler twin. Develops 31 PS at 8,500 rpm which pushes the 510 kg Z to 115 km/h.
1st gen NSX-R, superb car
1.5L twin turbo V6 F1 engine. I'll have to make a wallpaper with this engine:D
Some of the more modern F1 machines
2001 DC-5 Tokachi 24 h race winner, driven by Tsuchiya
1995 NSX-LM. Winner of the GT-2 class with Tsuchiya/Iida/Takahashi at the wheel.
