Ever wondered what a beat looks like cut in half?

I think it's from Meet the Beat 2003.

How did they do it?

When Honda Launches a new model to the market, they have of course already run about 10-20 of them through endurance testing, hot(Australia/cold(Canada) 'caravans treks' etc. and of those 5 or so are disected as you see in the pictures. Literally everything is opened up & cheked, they call it a 'Zenbara', which means 'totally pulled apart'. Those cars sometimes get put back together as a 'demo' car and go on show around the country. This car was in Honda Gijutsu Teschnology's storage for about 5-6yrs, when the new Twin Rings Motegi Complex opened and featured a Honda Collection Hall. HGT donated the zenbara to them, they cleaned it up (full restoration facilities in the park) and put it on display. They also have a mint (not mint flavored!) yellow Beat too from the first run! I have yet to figure out how to steal it!! lol. There is actually a section in Honda that does this to engines on a regular basis, F1 shows etc. what a cool job huh!

it looks cruel to me.. it is like cutting up a human body and displaying it to public as artifact.. it is the work of a auto autopsy..

beat cruelty !! :mad:
