The “Kei” class is made up of three-cylinder compact vehicles originally engineered for the Japanese Domestic Market. They include busses and trucks as well as tiny little sports cars. They included the front-engine turbocharged Suzuki Cappuccino, the turbocharged Autozam AZ-1 with its gullwing doors, and the naturally-aspirated Honda “Beat” roadster.

The 1992 Honda Beat currently for sale on Cars and Bids has a 656cc I3 engine between its seats and trunk. That would be humble by motorcycle standards. And while Suzuki and Autozam chose to turbocharge their Kei-class sports car engines, Honda said, “Nah, I’m good.”

The result made  63 horsepower and 44 lb-ft of torque from the factory. But don’t fear, the Beat weighs 1,680 pounds. With its mid-engine handling and a five-speed stick shift transmission, this is probably an exhilarating little sports car. See a driving video embedded below:

This specific Beat is quirky in all the right ways. It’s finished in Captiva Blue. The interior? Zebra print! That’s 1990s fabulous at its best.

Factory options include 14-inch rear wheels for those extra contact patches (but the fronts are still 13 inches), air conditioning, and power windows.

Modifications include a Boxx head unit, modern A/C conversion, and a brand new Robbins Auto Top with a glass rear window. It has 41,000 miles and just received a major service this year, which included a timing belt and water pump.
