They mention the S660 in the article. I had an S600 when I was stationed in Japan in the late '60's early '70's. Cool little car. Inline 4 banger with overhead cams, four side draft carburetors, and a hybrid shaft/dif/chain drive. Car was a blast to drive with a ten grand red line on the Yoshimura tweaked engine. Only downside for me was, at 6'4" not being able to drive with the top down. Any winter driving was done in my full motorcycle leathers and full faced Bell helmet.
Yeah.... S660 is for the Japanese market.... 4/5th scale.... Chain drive FTW.... 10 grand red line FTW... Need pictures of this....

I wish I could oblige with pictures. I bought the car and a new Rolex to celebrate re-upping for the first time in 1969. Should have bought a camera. :cornut: Wish I still had the watch.
You are forgiven.... 1969 was a crazy year.... But, still wish you had the car and found a way to bring it stateside...
Sounds like a great idea. But with nothing to base a new S2000 on they might want to work on a new CRX instead. Sorry the CRZ thing doesn't count.
