Honda fc Sport Car Design Concept

As you know by now a sports car that reaches the higher limits also has a big engine that must be fed in order to attain those higher limits. Therefore you can expect to burn a lot of expensive gasoline.

Grand entrance, hybrid technology, which is now being used to make the new fuel efficient cars. Most of this type car is designed to be very light weight as well as highly aerodynamic with small engines that hopefully maximize fuel efficiency.

Mitsubishi has their hybrid sports in most auto shows around the world, it is called the Mitsubishi Eclipse Concept-E, this car is a very good example of the design and looks of sports cars in the near future.This vehicle takes advantage of the hybrid technology.

The front wheels are powered by the parallel hybrid system. What this means is the electric motor is integrated with the gasoline engine which is a 3.8 liter v6, this car can believe it or not, put out as much as 270 horsepower.

Honda teases 2012 Civic before Detroit debut

Here’s our first official glimpse at the face of the next-generation Honda Civic. This sketch is intended to give the world an idea of what we can expect from the Civic show car Honda will display at the Detroit Auto Showin January. From the looks of things, the compact coupe will take the look of the current Civic and throw in some additional attitude. Along with some aggressively swept headlamps reminiscent of the European Civic Type R, the sketch also shows off a fascia with more menacing proportions. A large air inlet down low and slit fog lights help pull the car from the throws of anonymity.

Of course, it’s always difficult to tell what will survive the transition between design sketch and reality. We don’t expect to see those huge wheels nor the wildly flared hips make their way to production. Speaking of production, Honda has a long history of rolling out concepts that are nearly identical to the real deal, so keep your eyes on Detroit for what could be the first look at the next Civic.

Honda so excited about winning Japan Car of the Year that CR-Z gets special edition

The 2011 Honda CR-Z may not exactly be sailing to success here in the U.S., but it has managed to walk away with the coveted Japan Car of the Year title. In order to celebrate, Honda has decided to work up a new special edition version of its tiny sport hybrid. Only available in a special “Pearl Dipusafaiaburu” blue paint, the hatch makes use of unique 16-inch alloy wheels and premium metal pedal pads inside. If the color and the wheels don’t make this one easy enough to spot, Honda has also gone through the extra effort of placing a “Japan Car of the Year” commemorative sticker on the rear quarter glass behind the driver’s side door.

Otherwise, the Japan Car of the Year Edition CR-Z will remain completely stock. Neither fuel economy nor power has been upped in any way. Not surprisingly, it looks like this one will remain a Japanese-only offering. Still, if you like what you see, chances are you could recreate the special edition CR-Z without breaking a sweat – or your bank account for that matter.
