VIDEO: Honda ‘Hands’ marks 65 years of innovation

Recent Honda vehicles aren’t all that big on fun anymore, but evidently the company still has some of that lovable spirit that we all adore. This new video, simply called Honda ‘Hands’, celebrates the company’s 65 years of innovation and it’s brilliantly simple and enjoyable. Have a watch above.

The short two-minute video features Honda’s incredibly vast portfolio of past, current and future achievements. From the original Super Cub moped that introduced the masses to motorised mobility to the original NSX, the world’s first everyday supercar, ‘Hands’ clearly showcases just how diverse and innovative the company has been in its 65-year history.

A slew of future creations are also on show here, namely the next-gen NSX, the much-delayed HondaJet and of course, the adorable ASIMO robot. Honda also managed to inject some humour into it – with the hands squeezing the FCX Clarity’s only emission, water, into a cup and drinking it.

  • Very creative advert, thou I wish Honda would hire more people that develope that advert to work on their car rather than the guys at the sales & Financial department.

      No need to advert, rubbish cars also can sell without good specs what. Putting SOHC engine to civic, what a shame. So lame when Contis and Proton already go for turbocharged engines, where is Honda Wetdream engine? Only in dream? LOL

    • BTW, just some additional info I got from Worldcarfans, when the NSX ‘pop’ out, the background music changes to the tune some Brazilian music, a tribute to the late Aryton Senna that develope it.

      nice touch Honda! or whoever you hired for the ad.

        The number plate on the NSX is the same one as Senna’s NSX too.

    Honda, you need to stop making ‘uncle’ cars and start making fun, high-revving everyday sports cars like Civic & Accord Type-Rs and CRXs.

    ..Its high time Honda start emulating what the Koreans r doing, IMHO, they’re losing their edge on almost all departments, looks, specs, technical…itll be a waste, with d history n track rcord, if they, one day (or maybe already) surpassed by younger automotive companies, such as KIA, Hyundai…
