Shown in concept form at the Tokyo Motorshow is the Honda S660, the spiritual successor to the 1960s S600 and 1990s Honda Beat roadsters. Sadly, this mid-engined roadster is not destined for the UK due to crash test safety regulations.
The S660 is kei-car - a type of compact car sold in the Japanese domestic market that complies with strict restrictions on vehicle width. Power comes from a mid-mounted 660cc three cylinder engine mated to a seven speed paddle shift transmission.
