Grant Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 So many car makers now have a lineup of models of different sized clones of the same shape. It's great to see Honda release something that looks nothing like anything else. I wasn't so keen on the original testing pics, but if it comes out looking like that I'd actually seriously consider buying new. ( btw. oi moderators. There's already a thread on this )Agreed, looks like nothing else. But then that seems to have been Hondas them recently. Didn't realise there was another thread this vid popped up on my YouTube feed so had to quickly post it!! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm glad they made it look insane. Can't wait to see what Mugen adds onto it, if they even can. They'll always find something to add onto it. And importantly, being a turbo, it'll be more tunable too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 They'll always find something to add onto it. And importantly, being a turbo, it'll be more tunable too I'm eager to see how much boost the stock turbo will take. I'd imagine a lot of these will be remapped very quickly.

LolJust had a quick look, I know it's somewhere but it's in the ether! Post away Yes turbo will be good! I reckon if they incorporated the hybrid electric motor in the same was as the P1 or the Porsche 918 that would be so epic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolLol I'm only slagging It seems a much more relaxed forum compared to others I'm on who'd string you up for not searching first, even if their search page is rrrrubbish.

No more jokes about lack of torque I actually can't wait to drive a car that will have a respectable amount of instant power available. Hopefully we'll get normal priced cars like that in the next decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I see it happening anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you? Didn't know that!? I do like how it has kept to the conventional "refuelling" method meaning people won't have to worry about a big change in the way day to day driving takes place!
