Topspeed Reviwe Honda car S660 the 2016.
A spiritual successor to the Honda S600 and the Pininfarina-designed Honda Beat, the S660 Kei-roadster has gone on sale in Japan. The petite model was previewed by a funky-looking concept car at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, so reaching mass-production status in under two years is probably a first, even for Honda.

Even though it has a retractable roof, which normally adds weight, the tiny mid-engine roadster is part of the Kei car category in Japan, weighing less than 2,000 pounds and measuring under 11.2 feet in length. Being part of that special category also means that the 660cc engine has its displacement restricted to that figure by law, but unconfirmed reports suggest that a hotter model sold outside Japan may benefit from a turbocharged, 1.0-liter engine, with its handling developed in cooperation with Mugen.

Updated 08/11/2015: A new report from Edmunds indicates that Honda is considering offering the S660 on the U.S. market too. Of course there are some questions that need answering first, like "It’s got to be commercially viable. It’s got to serve a purpose from a brand standpoint. What does it do for the brand?" - Honda. But a decision should come down soon.

Exterior

The S660 is available in six colors, including Premium Mystic Night Pearl and Admiral Gray Metallic. Despite having tiny dimensions, the S660’s proportions are those of a fully fledged sports car. The wheels are pushed as far as possible to each corner of the wide and low body. The front end is typically Honda, from some angles harking back to the Honda/Acura NSX. From the side you could easily confuse it with a more powerful car; the turbine wheels and two air intakes on each side contribute to its sporty appearance.
With almost non-existent front and rear overhangs and a targa-style, canvas roof, the S660 certainly means business as far as styling and proportions go. The rear end’s design reminds me of a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica, but maybe that’s just me. The center exhaust pipe looks massive. On the whole, the S660 looks great from just about every angle — not very different from the concept car’s lines.

Drivetrain

According to Japanese Kei car regulations, the Honda S660 sports a turbocharged, 0.66-liter, three-cylinder engine that develops 63 horsepower and 77 pound-feet of torque. The tiny powerplant is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which is a first for this segment according to Honda  . Optionally, buyers can get a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with a seven-speed paddle-shifter that features a sport mode.
There are no words on acceleration figures, but cars like this are obviously not about 0-60 or quarter-mile times. The midship engine layout delivers a low center of gravity and a 45/55 front/rear weight balance, which in theory should provide ample amounts of fun on the twisties as long as there isn’t much uphill driving involved.

Prices

In Japan, the starting price for a Honda S660 with the six-speed manual is 1,980,000 Yen (approx. $16,500 as of 3/30/2015). Even though there are currently no official plans to export it, on the international market the starting price would likely increase closer to $20,000, an increase that could go hand in hand with the model’s curb weight (e.g. more safety features equal more weight and costs).
