New Design:Honda FC Sport Design Concept Revealed at L.A. Show

The car is developed by designer Jason Wilbur and his team from Advanced Design Studio of Honda R&D Americas in Pasadena, California.



Powered by existing fuel cell technology, the FC Sport is a three-seater sports car with a low centre of gravity, zero emissions and a potent, clean electric motor. It's FCX Clarity meets NSX. Clever design ensured low weight and high-performance, with FC Sport maintaining a balanced weight distribution between front and rear, ideal for any serious sports car.

Configuration of the fuel cell stack is such that it is located between the two rear seats that flank driver's position, while a battery pack sits low in the middle of the car. Electric motor is just ahead of the rear axle and the two fuel storage tanks just above it. The layout guarantees optimal weight distribution, a good passenger cabin (for a sports car) and an interior that focuses a lot on the center-placed driver.
