In other times, efficiency was nothing priority, and less for the reasons why they are sought today. The only thing that was intended was to get the best possible benefits, and neither security nor consumption were especially important. Then the oil crisis of the 70s arrived and that was when, some began to look with better eyes the cars that even being small had a greater efficiency because … they spent less fuel and therefore less money.
At that time it was when the Honda NS600 was born, a small utility with a 600 cubic centimeters engine that only offered about 40 hp. It may seem a small and more figure if we compare it with the market in which I was fighting, since we talked about the United States. There always, but more at that time, they liked large cars in size, motor and benefits.
That is why the life of this little N600 must have been quite calm, even being in Texas all this time. And we say that it must have been because what awaits him now is everything but calm. And it is that the small utility has fallen at the hands of Cars and Cameras, some content creators, whom we have already seen with the KART with Ducati motor, and that every year they carry out an event called Build Week.
The Honda N600 will change efficiency for gross power
On this occasion, the project that will be carried out at the Build Week is to put the engine of a Honda CBR1000RR with its 170 hp to the small Japanese car. Already getting a motorcycle engine in a car has many challenges ahead, but they have decided that the engine goes in the rear instead of the front, and that has given them a lot of extra work, including having to cut part of the car so that the engine gets its accommodation.
But the engine is not the only thing they have put to the N600, the interior changes, they have put Baquets, a kind of cage, new suspensions, the rear axle … come on, that of that small and efficient N600 almost only remains more than aesthetics.
Of course, they have not finished it yet, but they are already planning what to do with him and among his ideas he goes through circuit. Surely it will be as fun as dangerous …
