The Honda S660 kei car is a cult favourite for its petite proportions, baby NSX styling, and of course, its dinky handling. Launched in 2015, fans of the Honda S660 celebrated the kei car’s 10th anniversary with a record-breaking parade of 832 cars at Suzuka Circuit — the largest gathering of Honda cars ever.
The parade was organised by the S660 Chubu Community, a club made up of passionate S660 owners, to mark the kei car’s 10th anniversary in 2025. Word spread far and wide, and S660 owners from all over Japan made their way to the track to join the celebration, turning the event into a truly unforgettable gathering.
The S660 owners were joined by Honda employees involved in the car’s development and production, bringing the parade to a total of 832 cars. After a Guinness World Records adjudicator verified that all rules were met, the event was officially recognised as the “Largest parade of Honda cars,” breaking the previous record set by the Honda Beat in 2010 with 569 units gathered.
The Honda S660 is a two-door convertible sports kei car sold exclusively in Japan. As a “kei car,” it falls under Japan’s lightweight vehicle category, which limits dimensions to 3.4 metres in length, 1.48 metres in width, and 2.0 metres in height. Engines are also restricted, with the S660 producing just 64 hp from its 660cc engine.

While these specs may not sound impressive on paper, the S660’s compact size and light weight let it make the most of its horses, delivering plenty of fun. Power is sent to the rear wheels, with a choice of a six-speed manual or a CVT gearbox — allowing for a top speed of 140 km/h.
Although production ended in 2022, passion for the Honda S660 remains strong, as shown by this record-breaking gathering. While the model was never sold outside Japan, it remains a popular import for recond car dealers, especially in Malaysia, letting enthusiasts enjoy a taste of that tiny Japanese sports car fun.
