Honda N360

Encyclopedia : H : HO : HON : Honda N360

The Honda N360 is a keicar that was designed and built by Honda. The small 354 cc N360 was produced from March 1967 through 1970, while its larger N600 brother lasted two more years. It was a front wheel drive car with an air cooled 31 hp (23 kW) 2 cylinder engine and live axle/leaf spring rear suspension.

A 2-door sedan was the original body style, with a 2-door wagon called the LN360 coming in June of the first year. An upgraded 36 hp (27 kW) engine was added in October 1968 for the N360 T. A 402 cc engine was used in the similar N400.

The Hondamatic-equipped 1968 N360AT was the first Keicar with an automatic transmission.

The N600 was introduced in 1969. It was technologically advanced for its time, with an all alloy engine which could achieve 9000 rpm. Engine output was 36–45 hp (27–34 kW) and the N600 was capable of 81 mph (130 km/h). It delivered surprisingly peppy performance because of its light weight (around 550 kg/1100 pounds), due to compact dimensions and some plastic parts (like the boot lid). The first brakes were very weak. Rear suspension was a torsion bar and leaf springs. Production was stopped in 1972, after the sportier Honda Z600 (or Z-Act, depending on country) was introduced.
