I was just wondering if anybody else saw this yet. I don't remember seeing any talk about it here.
It sounds like an Acura MDX lowered with the car body and electric motor.
As the world cozies up to the idea of a four-door sports car, Honda's latest concept throws in a hybrid-powered, mid-engine configuration as a twist. A radical enhancement over the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) in the Civic hybrid, the DualNote combines a 3.5-liter DOHC V-6 engine with electric motor assist to achieve a combined 400-horsepower total, distributed to all four wheels. The potent, environmentally friendly output is kept in check by employing Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS) and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) technologies. The Buck Rogers interior features computer game-like displays befitting the sci-fi four-seater. The three-dimensional instrument cluster incorporates in-lane driving control and lane center deviation warning technology, and alerts to incoming e-mail or phone calls.
Damn ugly that's how I see it! The spocket concept looked way better than this ... Hell, seriously concept ideas do get wacko out of the planet most of the times. It's quite understandable that it won't make it onto production this crazy way.
I like it.
It could be in affordable range if it uses a current Honda V6 to produce around 240-260 HP with an addtional 50 HP coming from the 2 electric motors. (as long as NSX is already in 350HP range)
It would cost around 50-70k. That should make it quite affordable.
