A feat for the first time as a light car! Full-open! Midship! 2-seater! This is the BEAT!! Under the concept of "High-density personal open", the BEAT was born as the second Honda Midship 2-Seater model after the NSX. As the word "high-density" implies, the compact body is densely packed with components attracting a lot of people. The 4 valve 660 cc (64 Ps) engine is mounted on the body having an overall length of 3.3m and an overall width of 1.4m. Having characters required for the Midship engine and Rear wheel drive (MR), such as superior maneuverability and almost ideal weight distribution integrated into the smallest form in the world, the BEAT has been recognized as one of light cars leaving its mark on history.

Curbside kit features detailed underside, right hand drive interior, and choice of 3 top options (hardtop, convertible top up and down).
