In automotive history, how many cars can truly be called a “pocket-sized supercar”?
The HONDA S660, which sadly ended production in 2022, has transcended the boundaries of standard Japanese Kei cars. It has evolved into a modern JDM legend, capturing the fanatic attention of car enthusiasts worldwide.
Why does this tiny machine captivate people so much? Let’s dive into the secret behind its cult status and why it is a must-own vehicle today.
◆ The Obsession with “The Forbidden Fruit”
With regulations like the US “25-year rule” keeping newer Japanese domestic models out of reach for many, the global craving for Japan’s unique car culture has reached an all-time high.
The S660 sits right at the top of that wish list. It is a miracle of packaging that foreign automakers could never replicate: a genuine mid-ship (MR) layout paired with a 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, all built within Japan’s unique Kei car dimensions.
The simple fact that it was only sold brand-new in Japan makes it the ultimate “forbidden fruit”—skyrocketing its value among international collectors and enthusiasts.
◆ Unlimited Tunability: Proven by Mugen and Modulo X
Another reason the S660 is deeply revered is its incredible tuning potential, proven by Honda’s in-house elite tuners.
- Mugen: Injected track-ready motorsport DNA into the S660 with functional aerodynamics and aggressive performance upgrades.
- Modulo X / Version Z: Precision-engineered by Honda’s master test drivers to optimize suspension and airflow, delivering a mature yet thrilling driving experience.
The fact that the S660 can transform into a track weapon with the right parts is exactly why the global tuning community loves it as the ultimate base car.
【FEATURED STOCK】Experience Pure Driving: S660 β (6-Speed Manual)
From the lineup of this world-renowned JDM legend, we are proud to showcase an exceptional unit currently in our inventory.
This is the “β (Beta)” trim, equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission (6MT) to give you the most direct, unfiltered connection to the road.
Sophisticated in Gray: A Mature Open-Top Sports Car
Wrapped in a sleek, stealthy Gray finish and riding on factory aluminum wheels, this S660 exudes a premium, purposeful stance. It’s subtle, yet its aggressive proportions instantly signal that this is no ordinary commuter car.
The Holy Trinity: MR ✕ Turbo ✕ 6MT
Hear the turbo spooling right behind your ears. Experience the razor-sharp cornering that only a mid-ship layout can provide, pulling the nose effortlessly into every apex. Ripping through the gears with a crisp 6-speed manual is a mechanical joy that modern, oversized, automatic sports cars simply cannot replicate.
Clean, High-Tech, and Ready for the Street
While it offers a pure sports car experience, daily comfort and modern tech have not been compromised:

- Infotainment Display: Features a Center Display Audio system. It supports Bluetooth for seamless smartphone integration and includes an HDMI port, allowing you to stream music, use navigation apps, or mirror media effortlessly.
- Safety: Includes a Backup Camera to make parking and navigating tight city streets completely stress-free—a huge plus for mid-engine cars where rear visibility can be tricky.
Conclusion: Why You Need to Own This JDM Icon Today

The Honda S660 is a mechanical miracle born from Japan’s unique engineering spirit. While clean, high-quality examples are still available here in Japan, now is your golden opportunity to secure one.
