On September 21, an intrepid group of young
Honda engineers took to the salt flats of Bonneville,
Utah to post the fastest speed ever recorded
for a Honda vehicle. Not only did the Honda
engineers post a new FIA World Record of
261.875mph(1mile), 261.966mph(1km) for a
vehicle in its class (Category-A Group-1 Class-4), it
posted a speed faster than any Honda-powered car
ever including the record established by BAR Honda
F1 car at Bonneville in 2006, by using a 660cc
engine based on the three-cylinder powerplant
designed for the Honda S660 sports car
