The Honda FC Sport was presented at the LA Auto Show and this car seems to be a toy one. According to the manufacturers it shows an amazing flexibility of design and boasts an unparalleled fuel cell technology. The car was announced to be speedy and eco—friendly.
The new Honda is a hydrogen-powered three-seat sports car and due to the manufacturer’s concept: that it the way how supercars of the future may look. The FC is a lightweight car and it claims to have zero emissions and a very low centre of gravity.
Honda took the wraps off a new hydrogen-powered zero emission vehicle, the Honda FC Sport concept, at the 2008 L.A. Auto Show.
The 3-seater sports car concept shows off a futuristic design penned by Jason Wilbur of Honda's Advanced Design Studio in California.
It was developed "with the primary objective of using existing fuel cell technology as the basis for an ultimate Honda sports car" says the company.
With Honda's Insight and CR-Z hybrid models heading for the show room floor in the next couple of years, and Honda's commitment to sell a quarter of a million hybrids in 2009, it's no surprise to see another low emission vehicle design.
It also lends weight to rumours that the upcoming NSX will have a low emission cylinder deactivation mode, as Honda moves towards creating the world's zero emission sports car.
"The Honda FC Sport explores how to satisfy automotive performance enthusiasts in a world beyond petroleum," said Dan Bonawitz, vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
The hydrogen fuel cell system generates electricity which runs an electric motor that in turn drives the wheels.
While the method of propulsion will be one of the key marketing points of the new concept car, the design is important too.
