Honda introduced the new S660 Modulo X. Designed to
appeal to driving enthusiasts, the S660 Modulo X features an assortment of
styling and performance modifications.
Starting with the exterior, the model has been
equipped with an aggressive front bumper which features larger air intakes and
LED daytime running lights. The sporty styling continues further back as the
roadster has black mirrors, a unique rear bumper and an active spoiler with a
gurney flap. Rounding out the exterior highlights are a Bordeaux Red soft top
and 15-/16-inch aluminum wheels with a stealth black finish.
The special styling continues in the cabin as
drivers will find two-tone leather and Lux Suede seats as well as a matching
leather steering wheel. Designers also installed a leather-wrapped handbrake,
Bordeaux Red accents on the dashboard and two-tone floor mats with an aluminum
Modulo X badge. Even the shifter is unique to the model as manual variants have
a titanium gear knob while CVT cars are equipped with a two-tone leather
shifter.
On the performance front, engineers equipped the car
with a specially tuned suspension which offers five stages of damping
adjustment. Honda says this allows to drivers to experience “full-fledged
sports driving.” Besides the upgraded suspension, the S660 has cross-drilled
rotors and “sports” brake pads.
Honda didn’t say much about the engine so the car
likely has a 660cc turbocharged three-cylinder which develops 63 hp and 104 Nm of torque. The Honda S660 Modulo X will be launched
next month and pricing starts at ¥ 2,850,120 (US$ 26,100) including taxes.
