Honda Premieres Small Hybrid Sports Concept

The Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept made its world premiere at the 77th International Geneva Motor Show. The design study model, demonstrates a unique fusion of advanced environmental technology, exciting styling and fun-to-drive characteristics. The Small Hybrid Sports Concept is conceived around a front-wheel drive, small car platform and is powered by a Honda IMA four-cylinder petrol/electric hybrid system driving through a CVT transmission. 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 rearward to give the car a futuristic 3D floating glass design – a concave element which forms an additional vertical window. At its base, a “floating” LED tail light unit stretches across the full width of the car. Rear-facing digital cameras replace conventional door mirrors.
