Japanese Schoolgirl Takes Honda Dealer for a Wild Ride in S660

But if this isn't a great plot line for an anime, nothing ever is. Momoka, the Drifting Schoolgirl. Of course, no self-respecting car dealer would hand the keys over to a teen still wearing her uniform. So our anime hero would need to know martial arts or carry a laser pistol.

Ever since its launch last year, the Honda S660 has been praised by nearly everybody in Japan for what it brings to the kei car market. It's only got a 660cc engine with 54 horsepower, but that is placed in the middle for optimal balance. The roof folds like on the Murcielago Roadster, while the body looks like a shrunken NSX.

The ad starts with the usual paperwork you have to sign for a test drive. After they get in the car, the salesperson starts to chat and asks how long she's been driving for, to which she answers that she recently got her license.

That's when you know something is up because there's no way a newbie driver shifts a manual like that. Zero engine stalls later, they've left the city and arrive at a local track, where the high schooler demonstrates her killer driving.

As the salesman is hanging on for dear life, she is grinning from ear to ear. Eventually, they return to the dealership, where everybody bows politely.

The funny thing is that this really is a teenager girl, 18-year-old racer Miki Koyama. She and her purple car currently compete in Formula 4. She's good, and we don't mean Danica Patrick good.
