Honda S660 Concept

[RichardA]

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.

Seen out testing.

Rumours suggest Honda may selling it outside of Japan after all.

Oh dear, looks like Honda have bought a job-lot of those awful-nailed-to-the-dash satnav screens from Mercedes.
