Honda Beat PP1
The Honda Beat was Soichiro Honda's last personal project before he died — a tiny mid-engine kei roadster with a 660 cc three-cylinder MTREC (Multi Throttle Responsive Engine Control) that used three individual throttle bodies for each cylinder, producing 63 hp at 8,100 rpm. Perfectly balanced and gloriously rev-happy.
