This 260WHP Weapon Is Probably The Coolest Honda Del Sol In Existence

With an impressive power output and the JDM 'TransTop' folding roof grafted on, the Del Sol in this episode of The Smoking Tire is one we have mad respect for

The Honda Del Sol isn’t a car that’s ever particularly moved me. Its rounded, cutesy aesthetic is a world away from the boxy CR-X it effectively replaced, but what we’re looking at here is no ordinary Del Sol.

With a rebuilt B-series Honda inline-four hooked up to a Garrett turbocharger, its good for 260WHP. The suspension has been given a track-friendly makeover, and a ‘TransTop’ folding roof from a JDM Del Sol has been grafted on.

The roof adds quite a bit of weight (although its installment helps weigh distribution, according to the owner), but who cares when it looks so cool doing its thing?

Someone also built a mid-engined Del Sol, which is way cooler imo

No it is not the coolest del sol ever. Someone made a 4wd 450hp twin engine del sol. I think that wins.

I have always had a soft spot for the Honda Del Sol, and this is one good looking example. My grandpa used to take for rides out in his before he passed.
