The iconic 35-year-old car was "kicked out" onto one of the German autobahns, where it was able to be accelerated to 190 km/h and even a bit more. For context, according to the specs, the maximum speed of this Accord is 195 km/h. Perhaps the testers could have reached that mark, but traffic and the road's incline got in the way.
Overall, it can be said that the car confirmed its factory data. Most likely, the secret lies in the fact that the "Japanese" is in excellent condition, despite the impressive numbers on the odometer. If you listen to the sounds in the video, you can clearly hear that even the door closing click is like that of a new car.
Under the hood of this Honda Accord is a 115-horsepower 2.0 petrol engine mated to a 4-speed automatic. The car belongs to the third generation, which went into production exactly in 1985 (and remained in production until 1989). It was an exceptional car of its time – in its homeland (Japan), it even won the title of "Car of the Year 1985-1986".
