About the Honda S660
The Honda S660 is a 660cc kei car engineered for pure driving engagement, featuring a 658cc DOHC VTEC engine producing 64PS and 108Nm of torque. Its defining characteristic is the 50:50 front-rear weight distribution and a low center of gravity, facilitated by a unibody construction with high-rigidity aluminum subframes. Factory options include the 'S' grade with a limited-slip differential, a 6-speed manual transmission, and a lightweight roll cage. The car utilizes a 4WD system with a Torsen center differential, allowing for precise torque vectoring. Enthusiasts value its tight 3.2m turning circle and the option to remove the rear seats for a dedicated track configuration. The chassis is tuned for high lateral grip, with stiffer dampers and a lower ride height compared to standard kei cars, making it a homologated special that rivals larger sports cars in agility and feedback.

AI-generated insights
The 658cc DOHC VTEC engine features a high-revving redline at 10,000 RPM, providing exceptional power-to-weight ratio and linear throttle response without the lag associated with turbocharged kei engines.
The chassis utilizes a multi-link rear suspension and a double wishbone front setup, offering superior geometric stability and reduced body roll compared to the torsion beam axles found in most competing kei cars.
The 'S' grade includes a factory-fitted limited-slip differential and a 6-speed manual gearbox, which are rare in the kei segment and significantly enhance cornering exit speed and driver control.

Inspection watchouts & mechanical notes
- Inspect the aluminum subframes and rear bumper area for stress cracks or corrosion, as the S660's aggressive styling and low ground clearance increase the risk of minor impacts that can compromise structural integrity.
- Check for oil leaks around the valve cover and crankcase, as the high-revving nature of the 658cc engine can cause gasket degradation if the car has been driven hard without regular maintenance.
- Verify the condition of the Torsen center differential in the 4WD system, as excessive wear can lead to noise and uneven power distribution, which is difficult to repair without specialized kei car expertise.
