Honda S660 Neo Classic '16

​

Revealed at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon, the S660 Neo Classic marries modern Kei-car tech with the old-school style of the “classic” Honda roadster. Made by volunteers at Honda Access, Honda’s accessories division, the Neo Classic was the result of an internal design competition.

As the name implies, the S660 Neo Classic is based on the Honda S660. The S660’s original sharp angular front lights are replaced in the Neo Classic with huge round items from the ‘N-ONE’ kei-car, whereas its rear deck now features two sloping flanks that stretch from the B-pillar, which holds the S660’s targa top, all the way to its pert new tail.

Though the Neo Classic Concept retains the S660’s removable targa top, its ‘N-ONE’ headlights and taillights, together with its new sloping profile blends seamlessly to give it a fastback appearance of Honda’s earliest passenger cars, the S600 and S800 coupés.

Power comes from Honda’s familiar, 64 HP, turbocharged Kei-car engine.

I don't approve of the wheel choice.

I assume they are meant to harken be to the original S500's wheels.

They should also make a racing concept version that looks like the S800 race car

I just hope they use the Fireblade/CBR engine in order to maintain the classic roots that is using the motorcycle engine.

I kinda wish they painted the front fascia to match the rest of the body, still a nice tribute.

It's like a Japanese Zagato!

Looks better than the S660 itself! I wish this wasn't a concept car so they can build it!

I presume it is a RWD car? If so, it would be a great addition to the recent Alto-S660-Kopen trio. Hopefully they appear in GTS, it would be a big shame to miss them.

Meanwhile, the Neo in green:
