Honda will unveil a sleek, high-tech sports concept at the 2005 Melbourne International Motor Show.
The Honda Sports Concept (HSC) draws on decades of Honda’s engineering heritage to deliver the ultimate driving experience in an easy to drive package.
The two-seater coupe features a mid-mounted DOHC i-VTEC V6 engine delivering in excess of 300 horsepower.
A motorized sequential shift transmission with paddle-mounted or dash-mounted gear shifters gives the driver the instant control required of a true sports car without losing ease of operation. Stopping power is provided by six-piston Brembo disc brakes.
The four-wheel double-wishbone suspension combines with low-profile rubber on 19-inch front wheels and 20-inch rear wheels to provide superb handling and response.
Nubuck leather coupled with carbon and aluminium interior materials blend to create the interior comfort and functionality expected from a Honda sports car.
The high-tech instrument panel speeds up driver decision-making by clustering gauges together on the dash, reducing the need to adjust focal distance between the display and the world outside.
A CCD rear-view camera provides the driver with a view of vehicles or objects behind the car.
