Mid-Engine

Hot on the heels of my tiny Italian carspotting in Japan a couple of weeks back, comes a far more modern, mid-engine approach to automotive engineering. Commonly referred to as “the new NSX’s baby brother,” the Honda S660 is a Japan-exclusive two-seat roadster that fits neatly within the Japanese kei car category, so it has to have less than a 1.0-liter engine.

Now that we know what the mid-engine Corvette finally looks like, and have its basic specs, Chevrolet has now revealed full pricing details for the initial batch of Vettes headed our way in 2020. Initially, there will be three trim levels for the Stingray: 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT, with prices starting at $59,995, $67,295, and $71,945, respectively.

In the mood to eyeball something that’s a little bit on the hyper-rare side? We recently unearthed a genuine 1980 BMW M1 (E26) up for grabs on eBay, and with a classified ad price of $595,000 it’s pretty obvious that this is the real deal.
