Honda

High-revving engines, lightness and feel.

Honda / 02 CHASSIS

S2000

A rear-drive open sports car built around a high-revving naturally aspirated engine. AP1 and AP2 deserve separate research.

Beat

Honda’s tiny mid-engined kei roadster asks a different kind of buying question: condition, corrosion and parts matter more than headline speed.

Honda / BeatPP1The Beat’s PP1 chassis sits in the kei-car world rather than the S2000’s class.

Honda / 03 CHASSIS

NSX

Honda’s mid-engined flagship appears as Acura in some markets. The badge alone does not establish the exact generation or specification.
