Does anyone know anything about this car?



Was it an official Honda prototype that didn't make production or is it someone's "one off"?

Saw it in a Youtube slide show and captured it. Had never seen anything like this before.

Along the same topic, I remember seeing pictures of a aftermarket hard top that was a fast back looking thing. Does anyone have information on those? Are they worth a damn? Well made or rattlely POS?

Early early versions of the next gen NSX were tested on an s2000 looking platform.

That might be a picture of it.

The "fastback" hardtop is made by Spoon. Do a quick search, they're becoming quite popular.

Looks like a photochop to me. There were a bunch of these types of photos when all the people that didn't like convertibles, but wanted the trendy car at the time. There were some magazine concept pics too when there were rumours of a S2000 coupe version.

Check out the double reflection of the side mirror. One in the door window and one in the door. The roof doesn't have the same shine as the body, and it looks just like an old Integra. Also notice that you can't see through the glass to the background on the front windshield. If you zoom in on the picture the edge connecting the rear pillar looks too clean.

Sh!t, I think you're right, it's a photoshop.

I like the idea of a S2000 style coup

Sorry to advise everyone. You are all wrong. The picture is of the original Honda Snow Bunny. I knew Becky had an artic heritage.
