In the 1980s Honda developed the [[GY6 engine]] for use in motor scooters. Although no longer manufactured by Honda, it's still commonly used in many Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese light vehicles.<ref>{{cite web|title=HONDA GY6 ENGINE 50cc to 150cc|url=http://gokartsusa.com/hondagy6engine.aspx|publisher=GOKARTS USA|access-date=16 February 2015}}

Honda, despite being known as an engine company, has never built a [[V8 engine]] for passenger vehicles. In the late 1990s, the company resisted considerable pressure from its American dealers for a V8 engine (which would have seen use in top-of-the-line Honda SUVs and [[Acura]]s), with American Honda reportedly sending one dealer a shipment of [[V8 (beverage)|V8 beverage]]s to silence them.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-10064387-48.html |title=Green-car era poses test for Honda, The Car Tech blog |website=CNET |date=17 October 2008 |access-date=22 November 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081020095106/http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-10064387-48.html |archive-date=20 October 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Honda considered starting V8 production in the mid-2000s for larger Acura sedans, a new version of the high-end NSX sports car (which previously used DOHC V6 engines with VTEC to achieve its high power output) and possible future ventures into the American full-size truck and SUV segment for both the Acura and Honda brands, but this was canceled in late 2008, with Honda citing environmental and worldwide economic conditions as reasons for the termination of this project.<ref>{{cite web |title= Honda S2000, CR-Z convertible follow Acura NSX and V8 to scrap heap |url= http://green.autoblog.com/2009/01/06/honda-s2000-cr-z-convertible-follow-acura-nsx-and-v8-to-scrap-h/ |access-date= 25 October 2010 |first= Sam |last= Abuelsamid |date= 6 January 2009 |archive-date= 30 June 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130630014051/http://green.autoblog.com/2009/01/06/honda-s2000-cr-z-convertible-follow-acura-nsx-and-v8-to-scrap-h/ |url-status= dead }}{{dubious|date=November 2010}}</ref>
