Honda 1300

Encyclopedia : H : HO : HON : Honda 1300

The 1300 was a novel car for Honda. Introduced in 1972, it was the company's first front wheel drive car, and was the largest model the company had ever produced. It was a large stylish coupe with a 1.3 L engine.

The engine was air-cooled, with a fan attached to the flywheel to pull cool air through the engine block. This warm air, or hot air from the exhaust manifold, was then used to heat the passenger compartment, a novel approach which was not commonly used afterward.

The engine was a dry-sump design with a pressurized oil system feeding from a tank. An electrical fuel pump was another high-tech novelty which would eventually be common. The electrical system was another matter — it had a separate redundant set of wiring on each side of the car.
