At the ninth Tokyo Motor Shop in October 1962, the Honda S360 made its official debut. At the show, a scarlet coloured S500 was on display along with a metallic silver S360. Honda had already realised the 360 cc engine lacked power and had built up a bigger 492 cc version with bore/stroke ratio of 52/58 mm.
The S500 finally went on sale just after the 10th Tokyo Motor Show. The S360 was quietly dropped. The production version of the Honda Sports was much improved. It was 135 mm wider and had a larger 531 cc engine (54 x 58 mm) than the final prototype.
