A mid-ship two-seater open sports car based on the mini-car standard, marketed by Honda from 1991 to 1998. The car's name is derived from the English word 'beat', meaning a strong rhythm or heartbeat, and as the name implies, the Beat was developed with the aim of being a car that would bring the ultimate driving pleasure to the driver's heart. When the Beat went on sale in 1991, many Japanese sports cars were pushing for higher power output, larger body sizes and more high technology. Honda engineers chose the opposite approach in order to create a car that offered the ultimate in driving pleasure. They dared to adopt the light car standard (revised in January 1990: body size limited to 3.30 m in length (1.40 m in width and 2.00 m in height), with a total displacement of 660 cc or less), which made it difficult to achieve high performance. This was the antithesis of the Honda engineers of the time, who at the time felt little sense of oneness with the driver due to the increasing use of electronic controls and the enlarging body size of modern cars. Honda had also developed the Beat with a fully open two-seater MR layout with an extremely compact body, a low centre of gravity, a steering wheel that dared to eliminate the power steering mechanism for a direct feeling, a manual transmission only, and a high-revving NA engine based on F1 technology of the time. The engineers poured into the Beat all the elements they could think of that would bring driving pleasure. Their efforts bore fruit and the Beat was described by many Japanese car enthusiasts as the most fun car to drive, and it became a car loved by a great many fans, with around 70% of the 30,000 units produced still in existence. The Honda Beat was also the last four-wheeled vehicle to be sent off by its founder, Soichiro Honda. At the launch of the Beat, Soichiro Honda said with a smile: "It's so small, but it runs great. 'It's so small, but it runs great! The Beat is a small car, but it runs great!

This is the first content to anthropomorphise cars, in which the player acts as a director and trains his or her car-go in races. The game is played in backgammon format, with players progressing as many times as the dice roll. There are various tricks along the way, such as acceleration/reverse squares, slowing squares and stop squares. Basically, the game is cleared when the player finishes in third place, but some courses have turn limits, target scores and other conditions. The service was announced to end on 8 December 2016, with token sales ending at 2pm on 28 December and the service ending at 4pm on 31 January the following year. It is assumed that 'Kuruma Nago' as content will continue after the end of the game service.
