S660

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.

Honda has unveiled an interesting, albeit very strange looking roadster in Japan called the S660. It’s the latest version of a car that launched back in 1991 called the Honda Beat. The new S660 Roadster has a tiny 660cc three-cylinder engine that uses a turbo to produce a scant 64hp.
