Default Most detailed S800 Test ever

Dear S-Car Friends

I got my hands on some old Honda-Club-Magazines (including Revs!, ON-4, Twin-Cam Review, Le Hondiste, Honda Sports)...

This is where I found the following prints of an extensive testing of an S800 MkI Coupe. It was carried out by the "IRMA" whatever that was/is.

Have fun reading...

Wow. This isn't just any old magazine test. I'm assuming that Honda contracted this company for the analysis in order to assist them in their engineering research and development, since this was their first car.

It's great to have this, but it would be nice if it was higher-res and a .pdf.
