The FC Sport fuel cell concept car.

Honda FC Sport Concept is a fuel cell vehicle which was unveiled in 2008 at Los Angeles Auto Show. The car was created by the advanced design studio, Honda R & D of America, Pasadena, California.

And all eyes curious and intentionally "futuristic" never seem to become production models. Therefore, we believe that the prediction of the Honda FC Sport, unveiled the concept in the form of the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show, is not sold in any store. Articles praising the "car of the future" seems a huge excess.

Honda FC Sport is designed to highlight the versatility and potential of Honda V Flow fuel cell technology - already used in the Honda FCX Clarity sedan. FC Sport concept redesign of the fuel cell technology in a lightweight sports car with a very low center of gravity, powerful electric motors and emissions.

But what is significant about hydrogen cars FC Sport concept is that if the car design is the concept of "hydrogen" part is real. Hydrogen rights The sport is now a used car, available in the showroom: Honda FCX Clarity sedan (see photo).

"Honda FC Sport examines how to meet the automotive performance enthusiasts in the world than oil," said Dan Bonawitz, executive vice president, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Those who like sports cars have always been the love coming to hydrogen.”

Honda FC Sport is powered by a fuel cell designed to measure the power between the rear seats and the battery is installed in the middle of the vehicle. The electric motor is located just forward of the rear axle. Two fuel storage tanks, visible through the rear window, located above the rear axle.

Unusual style of Honda FC Sport is characterized by angular lines and an overall smooth profile. The white paint is designed to highlight the environmental characteristics of the car when the wheels and dark tinted windows are designed to indicate the possibility of performance.

Finally, the possibility of replacing gasoline in cars today. We are not sure that hydrogen is an option. But the Honda FC Sport is another step in that direction.

Most of the weight savings of the Superleggera was achieved through the use of carbon fiber body panels, fascias, and some components. Similarly, the side windows and hood are transparent polycarbonate. Lamborghini has even chosen Alcantara leather covers more than weight reduction.

For everyday driving, the Superleggera can be done with a device that raises the front end, helping to clear speed bumps, etc.. A backup camera makes for limited rear visibility, and a navigation system can also be an option in the cabin.
