Honda RA-X Concept


"The Honda RA-X Concept from designer Xuacu Pérez Quesada was developed as a credible vehicle that would be fit for production with currently available technology and systems. The concept was designed to mark Honda’s presence in motorsports, and hence carries the letters RA.

The exterior of the concept shows smooth, crossing lines that form a theoretical “X,” and the engine on the mid-engine sportscar remains visible through the glass covering. The rear shows prominent engine vents and LED tail-lamps arranged in a triangular shape. The design is dominated by steep ridges, but its smooth surfaces add dynamism to the model. It measures at length 4050 / height 1163 / 1940 width. The two-seater has a 350hp MR engine supplying power to the rear wheels."


350hp, MR, 2 seater Honda concept? Could they tone this car down and use it as an NSX replacement?

I don't know how I feel about this car - I liked the front 3/4 shot but I don't like it from just about every other angle - the rear especially. To me, it screams 'Reventon with Downs Syndrome.' See more at AutoMotto.
