Like the Honda NSX that came before, the mid-engine and turbocharged Honda S660 represents pure driving joy.
Everything from its controls, balance, to the diameter of its rears wheels is in-line with Honda's original masterpiece.
It’s clear that Honda channeled all of its midship expertise into building the Honda S660.
Despite being small, it’s still a legitimate sports car. The Honda S660 is a turbocharged, mid-engine, and rear-wheel-drive kei-class sports car. It features a targa top too, meaning its simple fabric roof can be removed, folded up easily, and stowed neatly in the ‘frunk.’.
You can see Honda’s efforts in extracting the most performance possible from a kei-class segment vehicle wherever you look. The vehicle’s use of 15×5-inch front and 16×6.5-inch rear staggered wheels, along with various functional air ducts for cooler brakes and intake temperatures, is a testament to its performance.
On the Touge—especially downhill—it’s rapid. The Honda S660 feels impervious to inertia, a result of being super lightweight and very well balanced.
You’ll be surprised at how fast it flows through a nice set of bends. Its three-cylinder turbocharged ‘S07B’ engine provides good-enough performance, but like the original Honda NSX, a few mods (and extra kilowatts) don’t spoil the experience.
The car pictured – 2019 Honda S660 Alpha
This Honda S660 was built in June 2019 and is an “Alpha” trim level with a six-speed manual transmission. It was a one-owner car and comes with a full Honda service history and two keys.
That makes it a top-of-the-range model, with keyless entry and start, a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking (city), full LED automatic headlights, genuine leather and Alcantara seat trim, carbon-look interior trims, cruise control, 15/16-inch staggered lightweight wheels, and a removable targa roof with a front storage box.
This example is rare in being factory-optioned in ‘G547P—British Green metallic.’ The colors complement it, exuding a sense of maturity and style. We procured this Grade 4.0B example in above-average condition from USS Tokyo.
The paint and bodywork are original.
