I see they've followed all three exclamation points in this design. And it has solid wing face!

Seriously though, looks like a fun package.

It's mid-engine!?

It's mid-engine!?

Looks to be the case

Described as an "open-top sports-type mini-vehicle", the S660 looks a lot like the EV-STER concept from 2011 but with a conventional engine in the form of a small 660cc three-cylinder turbocharged motor outputting 64 bhp (48 kW) linked to a seven-speed CVT. An exact weight figure has not been released but it's most likely somewhere in the 900 kg (1,984 lbs) region.

If that's true... DO NOT WANT.

1) Honda's eCVT is not a "CVT" actually.

2) This will definitely get a 6MT option. Honda won't skip out on the MT on a sport model.

1900lbs will make that a damn fun car

It will never make our shores. Too small for American's to accept. If we did get it, we'd get a lifted version with another foot of bumpers.

Honda Elise? Sounds like the 2nd best car they've ever made, short of the NSX.

You mean like the stupid X1 instead of the M135i?

With 60-70 HP? Still do not want.

 

[D Griff]

Yeah I'm not the kind of guy that needs a ton of powre or anything.... but 64? Terrible.

My 116 bhp, 2200 pound Miata is very slow. And it's 19 pounds/hp versus almost 30 pounds/hp

That's like 0-60 in 15+ seconds territory.

 

[Merkle]

Sure, it's low on HP, but that can always be fixed with FI. The car looks excellent and would be a blast to drive with modding.

Dan's right though, if we got it it would be watered down, and wouldn't sell very well anyway. Maybe 2-3k units.

660 cc just isn't going to cut it for me in a 1900 pound car... Well, I guess if it ever does come here I would absolutely look into the options.

Grambles is going to kill me but this would be the perfect car for a new motor descendant of the B16. 170ish hp high revving NA in this would be awesome.
