CONCEPT Only Currently, when the world of the automotive industry is busy exploring with all the resources it has to develop vehicles powered by renewable energy sources. As it turns out, one of the famous Japanese automotive brands, Honda, doesn't want to be left behind in this regard. And as it is well known, this Japanese automotive giant has conducted many studies and experiments to design environmentally friendly vehicles.

One of them is the Honda FC Sport which is launched back in 2008, intended to be a design study for four-wheeled vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells. It is also known that this is one of the concept cars built since the Japanese automaker first tried to develop hydrogen fuel cells powered car model in 2002 with the Honda FCX Concept.

Although the three-seater sports car concept that was officially introduced to the public for the first time at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2008 was not a real car, and is just a non-running model whose body is made of mostly fiberglass formed by clay mock-up. But actually it's a Honda's vision of a sporty ground hugger for the ultra-clean hydrogen future.

The Honda FC Sport concept sports car was designed under the direction of Honda designer Jason Wilbur at the company's Advanced Design Studio in Pasadena, California, intended to suggest a fun alternative to the ultra-green FCX hydrogen fuel cell sedan, which would leased to Honda's customers carefully selected amongst millions existed of them at the time.

The concept takes cues from the FCX's T-shaped headlights and grille, and from the sportbike design with exposed pipes and hoses under the rear glass and blue anodized hydrogen tanks that look similar to twin nitrous bottles. Honda says the fuel cell and battery stack will be low, keeping the center of gravity low. While the Pirelli PZero Rosso tires mounted to 19-inch wheels imply speed.

Even though you can't see anything due to the smoked glass attached to the Lamborghini-style scissor doors perfectly hiding the cockpit that isn't really existed behind it. However Honda could imagine it further in a three-seater configuration like the one on the famous McLaren F1, where the driver seat in the middle, flanked by two passenger seats positioned slightly behind on the left and right sides.

Well, the story about the hydrogen fuel cells concept vehicle made by Honda does not necessarily stop here, and it continues when in 2013 at the same exhibition the Japanese giant automaker introduced not less unique similar concept car called the Honda FCEV Concept. And it seems, the development will continue to do on the next concept cars.
Because all of these are just a concept intended solely as a study design, it is too early to imagine it becoming a reality. However, at least Honda already has an initial concept of the vehicles it will produce if later hydrogen becomes the dominant fuel.😎 *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | HONDA | CARANDDRIVER | SUPERCARS.NET ]
