Another tiny sports car revived the spirit of
Honda S800, but even smaller to suit the tax-friendly "K-car"
category in Japan. Also amazing with its mid-engined layout, which made it the
smallest and cheapest mid-engined car in the world. The 660 c.c. inline-3
engine had 4 valves per cylinder to compensate the lack of capacity, in
addition to the high-revving characteristics of small engines, it was good for
64 hp. Although torque was less than adequate, close-ratio gearbox with slick gear change,
lightweight and nimble handling made it to be an exciting toy for boys.
