Honda has unveiled a new all-electric sports car concept at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. The two-seater sports car that follows the Honda’s Urban EV concept has been placed between the Civic Type R and NSX by the company. <http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/file/t375258/14c74d41464b037fef47ec0553139a24.jpg> The original Urban EV concept was showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year and has been confirmed to enter production in 2019. However, no such details regarding the new sports EV concept have been provided by Honda. The sports EV adopts a retro-inspired look with round headlamps and square taillights. The elongated bonnet and coupe-like roofline add to its traditional sports car looks. An illuminated front badge, however, speaks about its technological advancements. <http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/file/t375258/4b68a7fca337d58383705b33432dc347.jpg> No technical details have been provided yet except a company statement saying the car uses artificial intelligence. It’s a two-seater car and considering its sporty nature, it would be safe to assume it a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. "Honda has been developing products that will lead to the creation of a carbon-free society," speaks Mr Hachigo-san, CEO, Honda. "We will create products which will enhance convenience for the customer. This new Sports EV is a new proposal form Honda, developed to show the joy of driving in an electric car." Honda claims that two-third of its cars sold globally will be electrified by 2030. Further, the company is targeting to achieve this target in Europe by 2025 only. The sports EV will play a crucial part in Honda's global electrification strategy. ----- Car Lover -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
