The Honda Beat was one of several small sports cars conceived to take advantage of Japans tax-efficient K class. Powered by a diminutive 656cc three-cylinder motor, the mid-engined Honda Beat had a healthy 75bhp and weighed just 1,700lbs. With a top speed of 90mph, 60mph came up in just 9 seconds. Produced between 1991 and 1995, the Beat was never imported officially into the UK, the 100 or so examples believed to be here having been brought in privately.
