Saw this mentioned over at blatters.com.
I really like the look of this - could be great fun. A modern take on the Honda Beat: Autocar article.
63BHP of goodness for £11,000.

Looks like Mugen wants to play too.
From the article:
Honda aftermarket firm Mugen has wasted absolutely no time in creating a new styling upgrade for the just-released Honda S660 Roadster. With an obvious attempt at toughening up the spiky little kei car, Mugen has revealed an aerodynamics package that adds new bumpers, extended side sills, a new spoiler, new front grille, darkened taillights, new 15- and 16-inch rims, and a new hardtop.

CVT gearbox? That is all.
From the Top Gear item on the S660Under the current rules, Japan's Kei-jidosha can be no more than 3.4m long and 1.48m wide, with tiddly 660cc engines.
So, in essence, what you have here is a two-thirds scale version of the new NSX. There's a driver-focused cockpit, mid-mounted, 660cc three-cylinder turbo engine sending power to the rear wheels through a short-throw six-speed manual
A seven-speed flappy-paddle CVT is available, but you don't want it. Because, like the similarly-sized Caterham 160, we're told the Honda development team engineered the S660 to put a smile on your face.
That is all

That's the first reference I've seen that there is any other option than the CVT. Slightly less depressing news!

Wider and slightly longer version for the rest of the world, that's the rumour, 1.0turbo too, bring it on.....
Good news everybody!!!http://wot.motortrend.com/1504_we_hear_more_powerf...
Only downside is it looks a little bit slab-sided from the various photos from the press day a few weeks back. I guess we'll have to wait to see what it's like in the flesh.
126hp in something that size! This makes the decision to go for the new MX5 quite a bit more difficult... If only Nissan would tell us what they're doing with IDX, if anything.

Does anyone know how to finance a car import? I really like the look of this and beer mat maths show it will be around £20,000 to import and get on the road and I don't have that sat around so I figured I'd ask on ph as we're all known as such huge fans of finance....
Why not wait a year or so until the 1 litre version arrives here? All signs are pointing to that happening. Gassing Station | Honda | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
