The Honda S600 is one of the most charming and technically fascinating sports cars of the 1960s, and a landmark model in Honda’s transition from motorcycle brilliance to serious car manufacturing. Sold from 1964 to 1966, the S600 followed the S500 and brought a tiny but thrilling 606cc dual overhead cam, four carburettor engine that could rev to an astonishing 9,500 rpm. For a lightweight roadster or coupe weighing well under 800 kg, that meant lively performance, crisp response, and a character unlike most British and European rivals of the era.

One of the S600’s most distinctive features was its motorcycle inspired engineering, including independent rear suspension with chain drive to each rear wheel, a layout that reflected Honda’s two wheel heritage. It was also the first Honda car sold in meaningful numbers outside Japan, helping introduce the brand’s precision engineering to global enthusiasts. Today, the S600 is admired for its jewel like engine, compact proportions, and rarity, with surviving examples highly prized by collectors.
