I'd recommend one of these easily over those awful FIAT 500's

日本でS660に乗っています！ 最高に楽しいくて可愛い愛車です！！ 後ろに並んでいる車も格好いい！！

I've an auto one you guys imported for me. Had a Beat for 12 years. The S660 is stunning. It sprints amazingly despite having 658ccs. Yes, a pocket rocket! Locally (Bedford) once was followed by a mk2 NSX. Easy to see how similar they looked. Interestingly the Beat was designed at the same time as the mk1 NSX and has several crossovers. (scoops, mtrec engine details, etc)

How much in UK price is one of these I have a 32 year old Cappuccino owned it 22 years. That's fun to drive

[@yannickkohl8264]

I don't know how far apart you are but you guys need to invite Jimmy Broadbent to the shop. That's a collab people would love!

On the "first kei-car with a 6-speed" thing : now that I think about it, you might be right. Most kei cars came with a 5-speed semi-auto or a CVT. The manual options I know are from Daihatsu & Suzuki, and they're both 5-speed. Yeah, Honda might be the first to offer a 6MT kei-car.

[@jasonday2007]

With my second Honda Beat being picked up tomorrow, the S660 really interests me as the modern equivalent! I completely agree too, 80mph in a Kei car feels like 180mph!

[@aakhtarmirza2033]

S660 is a cool kei car

[@soichiyamana7956]

I just bought 2015 S660 Concept Edition, with just 3000km August 2022. It drives really nice and a lot of fan. It will need new tyres as tyres fitted with car are originals means 8 year old now. My car was loaned to Red Bull Japan for their filming with F1 drivers just before 2022 Japanese Grand Prix. My car was driven by Pierr.

[@Sp0oney1]

what number is your Concept Edition? mine is no.65/660, i am in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, there’s 3 other concept edition here in KL.

[@jonafegit]

@@Sp0oney1 hi! which are the other 3 concept editions in KL ya? No. 632/660 is here with me

[@Sp0oney1]

@@jonafegit hi bro, the others i believe are 458, 3xx and 5xx, cant remember exactly

[@jonafegit]

thanks for the reply! think one of them is with JPM. How's yours treating you?

[@Sp0oney1]

@@jonafegit u are right, one of them is with JPM Museo, saw the car being driven around in Kota Damansara once in a while. Mine has been 5 years with me, i thoroughly enjoy the ownership so far but hectic work schedule means i hardly drive it these days 😐 How long hv u own yours bro?

[@martinchambers9898]

Lovely car 🙂

[@jamesjtechnic1196]

Are you sure you fit in there? Looks like you heads is a good 3" over the roll hoop. What's it like with the roof on?

[@tonymarcella13]

Can we get a vid on a spec c or R205 hatch?

[@Curi0u50ne]

Can you fit inside what’s the limit because I’m 6ft 2 with foot ware on ?

[@graphene1487]

What does aerodynamics matter when your head is coming out the top?

[@massimilianozeni1848]

now give that young chap of an engineer the Civic type R engine and tell him to do the new S2000. He will do good for sure!

[@paulskinback717]

i love it bet there all gone now

[@Remenschneider]

Don't buy this if you are tall, you will hit your head on the roll bar. Such a cool car, though. It came on ADVAN AD08 tires from factory, too. In spite of the light weight, the body structure is stiffer than the S2000's.

[@Cycle9568]

K swap it!

[@tanthaman]

Review ek9

[@britishagent]

If only they did a powerful European version

[@djwnakata9406]

They are tuneable to a degree, whilst still being reliable. Spoon do a load of power / torque / response mods for the S660.

[@Blockbuster2033]

You wouldn't even need a more power. I currently daily a 50hp 1.1l mk3 Fiesta after having driven a last gen Mazda 3 with 165hp for a year and the Fiesta is plenty fun. I imagine a car with similar weight but 15 more hp to be great. Granted, rip out the 660ccm turbo motor and replace it with a 1000ccm naturally aspirated motor with similar power, maybe the motor from the current civic but without the turbo. I guess that would even produce 75hp.

[@rattymcclelland]

The engine is already squeezed in there, nothing bigger will fit without serious chassis bashing, I have measured my h22 to see if it fits the the engine and box are as wide as the s660 nearly. HKS do the Gt100r kit for this. Put out 112bhp & 100lbft in mine. It's fun, quick and snappy.

[@tripwire3992]

I'd swap in a sport bike engine in if i wanted more power

[@homoerotic85]

Does any one know why these aren't available in the USA? I heard one person say it was because they are so small, but motor cycles are legal here and you can get any smaller or more dangerous than that. I would LOVE to have one! If they ever did come to USA I think it would be awesome if they made it a hybrid it would give it more power and would increase gas mileage also. The instant torque from electric engine of hybrid I think would give it a nice punch.

[@Riknos]

the 25 year old Import rule is probably something to do with it...

[@smokeynagata630]

Bro this looks a lot like HONDA OR ACURA NSX 2019

[@bingoberra18]

Sorry but I will only watch if the car is being driven.

[@Curi0u50ne]

I doubt he’d fit
