πΆ The Bulldog. The Legend. The Honda City Turbo II.
In an era of low, sleek, and aerodynamic design, the Honda City Turbo II did the unthinkable β it stood its ground, wide-bodied and proud, earning the legendary nickname "Bulldog" from enthusiasts who recognised something truly special πͺ. Designed by Hirotoshi Honda, son of Honda founder Soichiro Honda himself, the City Turbo II was an absolute sensation when it hit the market in the 1980s β and it's never been forgotten.
β‘ Turbocharged. Intercooled. Unstoppable.
Under those iconic flared fenders sits a punchy 1.2L ER turbocharged inline-4 π₯, intercooled for maximum performance and fitted with a wider stance and aggressive aesthetic changes that set it apart from everything else on the road. This wasn't just a city car β it was a performance machine wearing a compact disguise π€«.
οΏ½defa A Scooter in the Boot? Yes, Really.
Only Honda would sell a car with its own foldable motor scooter β the legendary Motocompo, designed to fit perfectly in the City's trunk πΆ. Peek through the rear window of this die-cast casting and you might just spot one hiding inside πβ¨ β a tiny detail that makes this casting an absolute joy for collectors.
π Born to Race β The Honda City Turbo Cup
The City Turbo's performance credentials were so undeniable that Honda and Mugen Motorsports created an entire one-make racing series in its honour β the Honda City Turbo Cup π. Race-spec cars received extreme aerodynamics, an aggressive bodykit, and a modified engine pushing 138 horsepower. Tragically, most of the surviving race cars were allegedly destroyed in the Great Hanshin earthquake before they could be shipped to Australia π’ β making the sole surviving example, preserved at the Honda Collection Hall in Suzuka, one of the most poignant relics in motorsport history.
π₯ Add the Honda City Turbo II to your collection β the Bulldog that defied convention, inspired a racing series, and never backed down.
