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.

Looks interesting.

I like it a lot. We’ll probably get it in 20 years.

It's cute. Looks a shit ton better than the crz.

A little too happy-facey but I really appreciate the spareness of line. I would definitely consider an EV playtoy.

Generally like it. Front fascia could use a little work.

Without a doubt, that's the frumpiest rump I've seen since the Pacer, which at least had good (and comical) sightlines to redeem its hyperugliness. I don't get the concept of today's unjustifiably-abysmal glass areas on so-called sports car, far beyond any safety demand. Big fail. Besides, there is no unifying congruence to this botched Honda theme, IMO.

Oh I dunno. I see fine out of my Z4Cs. Except to back up. For which I'm fine with the nannies.

I like it! Simplistic design, the total opposite of the Civic Type-R, which has actually grown on me.
