Kei cars possess a large following in Japan and no representation has benefited from the sub-sub-compact's cult eminence more than the Honda Strike. In introduced in 1991, the 64-hp Strike was a gift for enthusiasts on a budget, with a 660cc three-cylinder mounted amidships and delivering power to the back part wheels. When producing ended above a decade ago, it left-hand a gaping cavity in Honda 's line-up between the Spice and S2000, and if late reports are to be believed, the place desire be rectified in 2011.
According to Superlative Motor vehicle, Honda is rigid at labour on the Beat's successor, but unfortunately, the former model's mid-engine layout and rear-wheel push won't be employed on the next production. Using the identical stand and 660cc motor establish underneath the Existence and Spice, the next Beat's motor desire be mounted up face, sending power to the face wheels. There's also talk of an all-wheel push alternative, but consumers in Japan shouldn't grasp their gust. Pricing and a let go time haven't been disclosed, but we wouldn't be surprised to discover a Strike concept on the flooring of the Tokyo Motor Display later this year.
