Honda reveals fuel-cell sportster.
BY AARON ROBINSON
When the world calls out for a hydrogen-powered three-seat sports car, Honda wants to be locked and loaded. The Honda FC Sport, revealed at the 2008 Los Angeles auto show, is a design study—meaning a non-running, mostly fiberglass and clay mock-up—of a sporty ground hugger for the ultra-clean hydrogen future.
Penned under the direction of Honda designer Jason Wilbur in the company’s Advanced Design Studio in Pasadena, California, the FC Sport is meant to suggest a fun alternative to the ultra-green FCX hydrogen fuel-cell sedan, which Honda is leasing to carefully selected customers in microscopic quantities this year.
The concept takes cues from the FCX in its T-shaped headlight and grille face, and from sport-bike design with its exposed pipes and hoses under the rear glass and blue-anodized hydrogen tanks that look like twin nitrous bottles. Honda says the fuel-cell stack and batteries would sit low, keeping the center of gravity down. Pirelli PZero Rosso tires mounted to 19-inch wheels imply speed.
