Honda Small Hybrid Sports

 

honda-small-hybrid-sportsWho said Green can’t mean fast? Definitely not Honda! Meet the new Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept. A car designed to take care of the drivers need for speed and adrenaline whilst also taking care of the environment.

The masterpiece is designed by Honda R&D Europe, based in Offenbach, Germany. Whilst many continue to shun the idea of a front wheel drive sports car, Honda has been producing some of the best sports cars in the world in FWD format in the last 20 years.

This concept is also based around a front-wheel drive, small car platform and is powered by a Honda IMA 4-cylinder petrol/electric hybrid system driving through a CVT transmission.

The Concept model’s fluid lines are created by a steeply raked windscreen which extends back above the occupants’ heads where it meets a one piece glass roof. This in turn flows rearwards to give the car its fastback styling, culminating in a distinctive 3D floating glass design – a concave element which forms an additional vertical window.

Currently, the Insight’s legend as Honda’s first hybrid is living on throughthe Civic Hybrid and Accord Hybrid, two vehicles that changed Honda’s hybrid game. The Accord was Honda’s first performance hybrid, while the second generation Civic Hybrid was Honda’s first full hybrid. After applying its RandD team to diesel and fuel cell technology, Honda has turned full-circle and returned to hybrids with a new concept car they showed in Geneva, the Small Hybrid Sports Concept (SHSC).

As its label clearly depicts, the Small Hybrid Sports Concept is Honda’s idea of what a future hybrid sports coupe might look like. On the principle of its design and by its exterior shape and proportions, it’s easy to make a link between the SHSC and the Insight. They’re roughly the same size, though the SHSC is marginally longer, much lower and wider than Honda’s first hybrid, and both have very aerodynamic two-door sports car bodies. Honda hasn’t released any images of the SHSC’s interior, but from the looks of things it is most likely a two-seater with generous trunk space.
