Honda S660 Concept Edition announced

Sales of the Honda S660 roadster are about to begin in Japan, so to mark the occasion a special Concept Edition has been created.

Its unique specification includes Star White Pearl paintwork, a Bordeaux red 'roll-top' roof, two-tone door mirror caps and water-repellent coatings for the body and glass.

Inside, the Concept Edition gains a commemorate aluminium plaque, a central dashboard display screen and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Rather oddly the two seats are covered with different shades of grey leather, but they both feature red stitching.

As per the regular S660, power comes from a mid-mounted, three-cylinder, turbocharged, 660 cc petrol engine. It drives the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
