Honda’s New Concept that Looks like a Car but Sounds Like a Motorcycle

Honda has annual design competition between their brightest engineers. The contest called, ” Global Design Project ” which only engineers from Honda can enter and this year 80 of them tried to design their project. The main rule is very simple. Take a motorcycle engine put it in a car and make it look cool. They want to bring the experience of motorcycle driving to a four wheel car.

And the winner of the year is, this car which looks like a supercharged Go-Cart. Its called Honda Project 2&4, designer made a floating seat so drivers feel the experience of motorcycle driving and when he crashed there will be no pain because it should be a quick dead. That is why seat is that exposed. It is joke of course. The car 890 pounds and designer put motorcycle-grade suspension so the super go-cart can do quick turns.

One other thing, the steering wheel and pedals can easily be flipped so driver around the world can customize their experience. It is unlikely this vehicle will be on the street but it can be a good update for todays bas looking Go-Carts.
