Honda History Honda is the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles, since 1959, and is currently the biggest producer of internal combustion engines - with an average production of fourteen million engines per year. The Honda Motor Company was established in 1948 by Soichiro Honda - who is one of the greatest industrialists and automotive inventors of the Twentieth Century. Fifteen years later, in August 1963, Honda launched their first automobile, the T360 mini-truck, followed by their first production car, the S500 sports car in October. Renowned among Honda enthusiasts is the Honda NSX, a mid-engine supercar designed to compete with the Ferrari but more affordable and reliable. The NSX is one of the greatest iconic sports cars in automotive history.
