mid engine doesn't mean behind the driver only... as long as its sitting either on top or between the axles then its Mid engine.

don't forget guys. Electric motors have instant torque, no need for power conversions through gear ratios and stuff like that. If Honda gets it right, you might have the insane power acceleration of an electric, with the "oomph" of an internal combustion further down the line.

give it 1 year max before honda decides to cancel to this project.

Honda sucks anyways. Mazda Miatas are better.

don't be so narrow-minded

Porsche has already made a hybrid version.. they entered it in the GT2 or GT3 race, it led for most of the laps but it died the last 5 laps or something like that.
