Is it real? It was at the LA Auto Show, but that’s no basis for reality.
What they said: “The FC Sport emphasizes the design flexibility and potential of Honda’s V Flow fuel cell technology — already deployed in the Honda FCX Clarity sedan — and reconfigures it into a lightweight sports car design with an ultralow center of gravity, powerful electric motor performance and zero emissions,” said the press materials. “People who love sports cars will still have a reason to love in a hydrogen-powered future.”
What they didn’t say: While other automakers continue to bring the latest and greatest in electric and hybrid vehicles to this show, Honda keeps sending the idea of a fuel cell out there to the masses, like a canary in a coal mine. Another year, another dead bird.
What makes it tick? A fuel cell stack is housed between the rear seats, and a battery pack is at the center of the FC. Two hydrogen storage tanks are above the rear axle, while in front of that axle is an electric motor.
How much, how soon? Never in this configuration. The FC Sport will undergo much poking and prodding as Honda uses it to further develop this technology for a sports car to come in the future.
How’s it look? Every angle is worse than the last. The ideal conditions for a show-stopper.
Honda please drop the concept and kill it, I never want this car to come into production, if anything they are trying to make a more futuristic Audi R8 but IMO it looks way worse.
