Japanese car manufacturers seems to have decided Geneva is the place to showcase the possible successors to their flagship hybrid models. Toyota showed the Hybrid X. Now we take a look at Honda, who showed us what might be the next Honda Insight, a little red concept car creatively named Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept.
The Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept uses a 4-cylinder IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) engine coupled with a hybrid electric motor and sends power to the front wheels via a CVT transmission. The body has been designed to put emphasis on low drag to the extent of even doing away with side mirrors, using camera instead. 165/60/R20 tyres on 20 inch wheels provide low rolling resistance, further saving fuel.
More 3D models and artist sketches after the jump.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Looks like a concept car from the late 90s to early 2000s. A simple design that looks bland, except for the curving & transparent roofline.
165/60/R20 tyres? Is it available in the market?
the car looks angular at the front dont yall think? n the rearend is a bit plane…..gigantic wheels on a little**s car!
its a concept car.. built purely to show their capability.. if 165/60/R20 tyres are what will give them the best fuel economy, thats what they will put on.. it doesnt matter if its selling in your local tyre shop or not.
A concept car is designed without the boundaries of the "real world". thats why its called a concept.
Someone smell the next CRX looking like this?
The headlamps look almost non-existent, and the body looks like it couldn't decide whether to be boxy or curvy. Honda screwed up the exteriors haha.
