While the whole world waited for the next Acura NSX, Honda quietly went about preparing an entirely different kind of mid-engine sports car for its home market.
The S660 will be about the size of the original Beat, largely since it must confirm to Japanese regulations for kei-cars. This means that it's going to be small. Not Miata small, but original Lotus Elan small.
Underneath, a 660cc turbocharged triple making 63 horsepower is as much as Honda can legally get away with while staying in bounds for kei-car status. A CVT or a 6-speed manual (with an S2000 style shift knob) are the transmission options. Since kei cars would never ever fly in North America, we'll never seen one Stateside. But maybe in 15 years I'll scoop one up.
