Honda Sports EV Concept
New EV sports experience where driver and car are one
The times may change, but Honda’s love of sports is, and will always be its identity. As we head towards the era of electrified cars, the Honda Sports EV Concept proposes a one-ness between driver and car, never experienced before. Built upon an EV-specific platform, this concept model is equipped with a highly responsive electric power unit in a easy to handle compact body. Powerful, smooth acceleration are coupled with a serene quietness thanks to its electric motor, and a low center of gravity realize exciting maneuverability, beckoning the driver and car as one into a completely new experience. With “Honda Automated Network Assistant” using Honda’s AI technology, the Honda Sports EV Concept aims to create communication that unites the driver and car. Aiming for the next generation of sports car design, the low and wide design takes its sports car looks a step further: the unforgettable styling, a friendly front fascia that naturally blends in with any lifestyle, and rich and supple surfaces bring happiness and a even a fondness in ownership.
Project leader
Makoto Harada
We started development, to make sports cars, which have become a special genre, more approachable. We built the Urban EV Concept upon trial after trial, such as what the body size should be, what the frame should be like to give the impression of motion. We designed it with the hope that it will become a close partner, and bring joy of ownership and fondness to the customer.
We poured this passion into the Urban EV Concept’s design.
