Honda N-One SS (Suzuka Special)
The Honda N-One takes a
decidedly retro design approach. Now, the Japanese automaker has taken it in
an even more old-school direction with the launch of the limited-edition SS
model.
Shorthand for Suzuka Special, the
special-edition Kei car pays tribute to Honda's first production passenger car,
the N360, which launched 50 years ago.
The special is based on the Premium Tourer model in
Lowdown trim, and features a hood stripe, checkered decals, and black grille,
door handles, license plate trim, and alloys. Inside, it's all done up in tan,
with a host of otherwise optional extras included as part of the package.
The overall effect is that of a retro racer, giving
the N-One an extra dose of style. It packs a 660 cc turbo engine mated to a CVT,
priced at 1,798,000 yen. Rather than
limited production by quantity, Honda will offer the package for a limited
time, from November 11 until October 31 of next year.
The
N-One is restricted to the Japanese Domestic Market, and is about as likely to
make it across the Pacific as Godzilla.
