The Honda N600 arrived in March 1967. It was a front-wheel drive two-door sedan with a 78.7-inch wheelbase. It was technologically advanced for its time. Its engine, for example, was all alloy; and could achieve 9000 r.p.m. As for power, or lack thereof, was ranged from 28 to 31 brake horsepower from its little 354cc powerplant. However, it delivered surprisingly peppy performance because of its light weight (around 1100 pounds), and compact dimensions. Rear suspension was a torsion bar and leaf springs. Production was stopped in 1970, when the sportier Honda Z (or Z-Act, depending on country) was introduced.
I had some rides on one of those. Waht a cracking little car. Noone can imagine the pleasure that can be taken out of that Smart-sized car. Surprisingly supple ride, fantastic gearbox and crazy-revving engine!
