Oh boy 8,000-9,000 RPM F20/K20 + Electric motor for low rpm torque... this is gonna be sweet.

fuck i want a high revving high output sports car, not some hybrid bullshit to save some silly trees


ughhhh :rolleyes:

Good job on just reading the title. Doof.

even exotics will eventually move into the hybrid territory (porsche 918, F599)
don't be so narrow-minded

Mid engined? Doesn't look like there's a lot of room in there.

skimmed thru the article



not feeling the need for hybrid


dont know, drove my friends camery hybrid, and i absolutely hate it. No joke

it's an artist sketch from like more than a year back before they filed this patent

lets hope honda doesnt make the same mistake toyota does.. giving up sports cars for the economy crap.. cheap plastic.. etc.

^

with their new design, it sure seems that way

everyone will need too accept ALL sports cars and super cars will ONE DAY be hybrid/full electric.

Ferrari and Lamborghini have plans to release hybrid products in the coming years.

sure, as long as it doesnt spoil the fun!

honda is planning on putting speakers under the car for authentic VROOOM VRRROOOOMM noises on all electrics

^honda & soundracer working together?

they should make electric cars sound like the ones in StarWars

lawl those LED fog lights (?) lawl


who started them anyways???

I see them on porsche, benz, vw, and audi.

front mounted mid engine? as long as the engine is between the two axles, it is "in the middle of the car" so its mid-engined, just like the original s2k

Rendering from Autocar UK is a bit more mid-engine friendly

Mid engined golf cart wft???:haha::haha::haha:

if its anything like the crz its gonna fail. I hope its a real sports car first and environmentally friendly second.

i wouldn't mind if it was a 2.0L f20c in that thing coupled with an IMA (integrated motor assist) for instantaneous torque, then have the engine kick in at like 3.5k all the way till 9k for some mad vtak. Car must be <2900lbs, and be able to run low offset wheels without over fenders/ replacements.

maybe by then you can buy AP2's for like 13k haha

If this is true, the Honda obviously gotta get their head checked.

NSX Successor -> HSV = FR?
S2000 Successor -> = MR ?

I think it would make more sense if the HSV was a hardcore on steriod successor to the S2000 and leave the MR platform for NSX

I don't know if its just me, a Mid Engine sports car that is from Honda and not called a NSX is awkward.

Dont forget the honda beat!
