    Honda Sports EV Concept

    Much to the hate of KillerB & most folks here Honda quietly pushed their Honda Sports EV Concept out of a trailer and into the SEMA show:

    The concept's grille can also send out messages to other road users via digital word displays to reassure them of its intentions.
    Obviously I'm onboard the all-electric train. Looking forward to seeing how Honda makes the 100% torque/no gearing/low range model work.

    185 kW motor + beefy six-speed trans + some crazy-high 5.66 final drive? It's gonna have an uber-low CG from the get-go.

    If ANY electric car builder has small-form low-power sports car pretensions, they gotta have super-steep gears to justify a six-speed transmission. #justsayin

    I love everything about the concept and the specs... what I doubt is Honda's ability to execute. That thing is going to end up with an 85kw motor, a 20kwh battery, six front grills, a third row seat, a hatchback, and right hand drive. And I don't mean the steering wheel will be on the right side, I mean only the right side wheels will be driven. It's going to be the CR-Z all over again. A spiritual successor to the CRX as viewed by a time traveler from a dystopian future where everything sucks.

    Those specs are not official, they were mine -- pulled straight out of my wittle heart's secret desires.

    I know, but mine weren't. I read Honda's mind. They're already working on the chrome for the 4th grille. Two more to go.

    Yep.

    Eh, there's too much car-shaming going on, I'm definitely sorry I took the bait.
