Honda S660 kei-roadster specifications leaked online

honda-s660-specs-leaked-4

Remember the Honda S660 Concept which made its debut at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show? Well, that car was meant to preview a production model that is set to go on sale this year in Japan – and yes, it’s 2015 in case you’re still penning down 2014.

As a result, technical specifications of the production model have surfaced online in what appears to be scans from a brochure. From what we can gather, the roadster will measure in at 3,395 mm in length, 1,475 mm in width and 1,180 mm in height – befitting its kei car classification.

What lies under the bonnet is revealed to be a three-cylinder unit pumping out 64 hp and 104 Nm of torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or CVT transmission. While that doesn’t sound like much, do keep in mind that the Honda S660 is expected to weigh less than 1,000 kg – providing a top speed of 140 km/h.

Fortunately, the production Honda S660 retains most of the concept’s futuristic styling elements, from the multiple air intakes in front and on the side to the bold front grille. A centrally-mounted exhaust pipe and redesigned rear lamps are new additions over the concept car.

Individuals looking for details on the interior, bad news, as only a single scan has surfaced online. At first glance, it does contain traces of the Honda CR-Z‘s cabin with its digital instrument cluster. Also included in the middle of the dash is what appears to be an iPhone laid down on its side.

    Is that an iPhone 6 Plus stuck on the dashboard?

    I hope it’s under EEV so can we just pasang the chair and dashboard and be entitled to EEV incentives? Perfect for early morning trips.
    Good old 0.658 L car.

    The picture looks suspicious, cos that looks like a smartphone right smack in the middle of the dash. In terms of the specs, I can’t read Japanese. Is that mid engined or front engined?

    Too bad there’s no market for roadsters in our sunny-then-floody Malaysia. I really love roadsters but the cheapest ones being sold here, starting from the (overpriced) VW Eos is pretty much crap and the expensive ones cost a hell lot of money.

    Perhaps kei car roadsters might sell? Daihatsu Copen is very very desirable, and so is this. The 660cc that goes up to only 140kmph kinda turns me off though. Perhaps it’s better suited as a cruiser instead of a sharp small sports roadster.

    • This car should be MR, 6spd with turbo accordingto the concept.

      There should be a 1.0 turbo version in the pipeline for export out of Japan (no kei car restriction), that is what I got to know from the net.

    For a 660 cc engine to produce 64 hp, it must be turbocharged. Or rev to 10,000 rpm, which is highly unlikely at this age of low emissions control.

      Really but not really.. 660cc with 64hp is quite standard for NA. The interesting thing is that the max torque is gotten at 2600rpm, which at this point, it could be turbo or not turbo. If it’s really a MR.. this will be one of the awesome product that Honda produces. F*** the CRZ.

        its going to be turbo charged like the concept.

        A NA engine would be hard pressed to make max torque at 2600rpm.

        perhaps this may succeed where the S2000 failed.

        Only one item against it. Its too heavy. Its as heavy as the Mk1 Miata. And that had a 1.6L engine producing almost 2x the power.

    Good looking car, this Honda.

    That side profile looks a lot like a Renault Wind.
