1965–1966 Honda S 600 Coupe Specs & Performance

The 1965–1966 Honda S 600 Coupe carries Honda’s early sports-car spirit in a lightweight two-seat package, powered by a naturally aspirated 0.6-liter inline-four producing 56 hp at 8,500 rpm and 38 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm. Its front-mounted, longitudinal AS285E engine uses DOHC, two valves per cylinder and carburetor fuel delivery, sending power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. At 1,598 pounds, the coupe reaches 60 mph in 17.8 seconds and has a listed 90 mph top speed.

Double-wishbone front and trailing-arm rear suspension are paired with drum brakes at both ends and 520 × 13 tyres. The S 600 Coupe measures 129.9 × 55.1 × 47 inches, with a compact 78.7-inch wheelbase and 45.3/44.4-inch front and rear tracks. Its 6.6-gallon fuel tank supports the listed 47 mpg combined economy and 310-mile total range, while a 9.5:1 compression ratio and 28.2-foot turning radius further define this lightweight early Honda sports coupe.
