Přehled

The Honda Z (marketed also as the Z600 ) is a two-door hatchback kei car / city car manufactured and marketed by the Honda Motor Company , from 1970 until 1974. Exports mostly ended after 1972, when the domestic market models received redesigned pillarless bodywork.

Honda subsequently marketed a kei-class SUV from 1998 to 2003, bearing no relation to the first 'Z', but bearing the same nameplate.

The two-door Honda Z debuted in October 1970 and was marketed until 1973 in most countries. American sales (only with the larger 598 cc engine) lasted for model years 1970 through 1972, ending prior to the 1973 introduction of the Civic . Marketed as the "sport coupé" version of the N600 , the two were sold side by side at American motorcycle dealerships until the first stand-alone automobile dealers opened to market the Civic. Total production was 40,586 units.

In certain countries, such as the US, the Z600 name simply reflected the engine's size of 598 cc (36 cu in). The smaller-engined Honda Z360 was available in Japan (and other markets, such as Australia) with a 354 cc (22 cu in) twin. In the UK they came only in 600 cc form and were called simply "Honda Z" with no mention of the engine size in the name.
