Honda is bringing the NSX to this year's Tokyo Motor Show, a hybrid all-wheel drive super sportscar. While that's exciting for American who like their big V6 engines, but average Japanese buyers also have something to look forward to.
The S660 kei sportscar is being previewed as a concept, a sexy one by the looks of it. The design is quite futuristic and elegant, similar to the EV-STER Concept of 2011.
There's nothing futuristic about what's going to power the S660. Kei car regulations force it to have a 660cc engine which only produces 64 hp, even though it's turbocharge.
Don't expect to see this think on European or American roads. It's strictly designed to take advantage of specific regulation in Japan.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
