Honda Hints at Hydrogen Sports Car Future with FC Sport Model

Honda took the covers off of one of the most buzz-worthy concept cars in this years Los Angeles Auto Show, the Honda FC Sport design study model. The new FC Sport gave a promising glimpse of the flexibility and potential of Honda’s V Flow fuel cell technology which is already being used in the current Honda FCX Clarity sedan.

The new FCX Sport is a lightweight sports car design with an ultra-low center of gravity, powerful electric motor performance and zero-emissions. The design study model takes inspiration from supercar levels of performance through low weight and a high performance, electrically-driven fuel cell powertrain.

“The Honda FC Sport explores how to satisfy automotive performance enthusiasts in a world beyond petroleum,” said Dan Bonawitz, vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “People who love sports cars will still have a reason to love in a hydrogen-powered future.” Here are some stunning photos of the new Honda FC Sport Design Study:
