Small Car, Big Ambitions: Build Your Own Honda S660 in Forza Horizon 6

A compact roadster can leave plenty of room for imagination. The latest Honda S660 showcase for Forza Horizon 6 puts customisation at the centre of the experience, inviting players to transform a small Japanese sports car into their own creation before heading out onto the city streets.

The featured model is the 2016 Honda S660 Alpha, one of the additions introduced through the City Life Festival Playlist. Its appeal starts with an unusual combination: kei-car proportions, a mid-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, and body kit options that give this diminutive Honda scope for a more assertive appearance.

A Sports Car Built Around Compact Dimensions

The S660’s size is fundamental to its identity. Honda introduced the real-world model as a two-seat, open-top sports car, pairing a 660cc turbocharged engine with a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The manufacturer emphasised a low centre of gravity and a 45:55 front-to-rear weight balance, with cornering enjoyment central to the development brief.

Honda also offered a six-speed manual transmission, giving the little roadster a specification designed to make driving engaging within its compact footprint. Its dedicated body structure combined light weight with rigidity, supporting the handling-focused approach.

That background explains why the S660 makes an interesting addition to a game filled with much more powerful machinery. Its attraction begins with the layout and proportions rather than an imposing engine. For players who enjoy learning a car’s rhythm, it offers a reason to pay attention to corner entries, momentum, and the road ahead.

Give the S660 a More Assertive Look

The showcase’s invitation is straightforward: build your dream S660. Among its options is a Mugen widebody kit, allowing players to give the small roadster a broader, more purposeful appearance. The car also supports drivetrain and engine conversions, opening up further possibilities beyond its original configuration.

That leaves room for different interpretations of the same car. A restrained build can preserve the appeal of a compact roadster, while a more ambitious project can explore how far its appearance and performance can change. Choosing a direction becomes part of the enjoyment before the first race even begins.

For players interested in tuning, it is worth deciding what they want the finished car to do. A build intended for a particular event class has a different purpose from one created for free-roam driving or photographs. The S660’s small starting package makes that transformation especially central to its appeal.

A Broader Set of Creative Tools

Forza Horizon 6’s customisation systems provide further ways to personalise a project. The game supports different wheels on the front and rear axles, additional paint finishes including metal flake and candy paint, and the ability to place liveries on windows.

The paint interface also lets players save favourite colours and materials, making it easier to return to a consistent style across a collection. These tools give creators several ways to establish an identity beyond selecting a body kit.

For the S660, that could mean a coordinated street build, a competition-inspired livery, or something deliberately playful. Its compact body provides a distinctive canvas, and the result can be as much about a personal visual style as a performance target.

How to Unlock the Honda S660 Alpha

The 2016 Honda S660 Alpha requires 60 Festival Playlist points across the City Life series. It is a series reward, so the target concerns points accumulated during the overall series rather than a single week. The published availability window runs from November 5 to December 3.

City Life also introduces a reduction in the Playlist points required to unlock new cars. Playground Games says the change responds to community feedback and aims to make those vehicles easier to earn, including for players without access to online content.

That gives collectors a clear objective to work towards while exploring the update. Once the Honda is unlocked, the next decision is how much of its original character to retain—and how far to take the customisation.

Take Your Creation into the City

City Life adds two permanent Tokyo City race routes: Edo Circuit Road Race and Shuto Charge Street Race. They provide fresh destinations for players looking to take their latest garage project into an urban racing setting.

The S660 fits the showcase’s street-focused invitation through its combination of compact dimensions and creative potential. Whether the goal is a neatly finished roadster or a much more adventurous conversion, this Honda offers a project whose personality can grow well beyond its size.
