Mockngbrd Supersonic October 23, 2013 Share October 23, 2013 http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2013/10/23/honda-to-go-small-gas-powered-at-tokyo-motor-show/ CAT A COE! Making its debut will be the Honda S660 small concept sports convertible, the design of which evolved from the EV Ster electric car unveiled at the previous show two years ago. The S660′s designer, Ryo Sugiura, boasts of a completely new concept to entice younger customers and seniors looking for a second car to drive around on weekends. He shrugged off speculation it will be a rehash of the Honda Beat, a smashingly popular mini convertible of the early 1990′s. “Some people might think this will be the remodeled version of the Beat. But it is not. This is totally brand new,” Mr. Sugiura said. The new, two-seater powered by 660-cc gasoline engine will be the basis of a new small car that Chief Executive Takanobu Ito says the company will bring to market next year. It is unlikely the S660 will feature the all-electric powertain from the EV-Ster, which had electric motors in each of the rear wheels, but its nomenclature suggests it uses the same 660cc turbo charged three-cylinder from the Japenese-only N-One minicar.Alongside the S660, Honda has also confirmed a near production version of its revived NSX will be displayed at the Tokyo show as well as a showroom-ready baby SUV based on the Urban SUV concept that was revealed at the Detroit motor show in January. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockngbrd Supersonic October 23, 2013 Author Share October 23, 2013 Looks like PI only 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. The concept will emerge into a production version with a fully retractable roof sometime in 2015 but it will be sold only in Japan. However, some reports are indicating an export version equipped with a bigger 1.0-liter turbo engine rated at 100 bhp (74 kW) could happen sometime in the future.

Lol Concept of the S660 was this one I think most likely the basic shape will remain with just the rear changing to fit a more conventional roof. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
