We love Honda, and even more when they make a sporty hybrid car which looks too futuristic to be true. This baby is powered by a Honda IMA 4-cylinder petrol/electric hybrid system driving through a CVT transmission. The Small Hybrid Sports Concept is a sports car that features advanced hybrid technology – proving stylish design and driving enjoyment can be combined with low environmental impact. It was designed by Honda R&D Europe, based in Offenbach, Germany.

The Concept model’s fluid lines are created by a steeply raked windscreen which extends back above the occupants’ heads where it meets a one piece glass roof. This in turn flows rearwards to give the car its fastback styling, terminating in a distinctive and futuristic 3D floating glass design – a concave element which forms an additional vertical window. At its base, further distinction is provided by a ‘floating’ LED tail light unit that stretches across the full width of the car. At its centre, the glass panel extends downwards and contains an illuminated ‘Small Hybrid Sports’ name plate. The body is particularly aerodynamically efficient and compact. Rear-facing digital cameras take the place of conventional door mirrors.
