Upon its release in 1990, Honda NSX was a design concept ahead of its time. At 1,170 mm (46 in) in height (only 141.3 mm (5.56 in) taller than the legendary Ford GT40), the car showcased Honda‘s technology. The Japanese  car maker’s race track innovations and competitive history were further exemplified on the road by the NSX‘s ultra-rigid, ultra-light all aluminum monocoque  chassis and front and rear double wishbone suspension, with forged control arms connected to forged alloy wheels. The car additionally boasted the world’s first production car engine with titanium connecting rods, forged pistons, and ultra high-revving capabilities — the redline was at a lofty 8,000 rpm – all traits usually associated with track and race engineered motor cars.

The Japanese carmaker has issued an official press release today that announces that its stand in Geneva Motor Show will host another world first. This time it is a concept with three wheels, named 3R-C. Honda today announced that it will bring in Geneva, already announced concept EV-N, which comes in the European premiere, another parent with three wheels, named 3R-C. Designed as a zero emission vehicle, for a single person trying to show the concept of minimum needs for urban transport. Electric drivetrain was mounted very low, to give a three-wheeled vehicle center of gravity low and hence improved stability. Driver’s position is protected by a windscreen that flows to the hood but also a rigid structure, which gives security in case of a side impact or frontal. The Japanese thought even a small vehicle for urban trunk, positioned front and spacious enough for the daily needs of a single person. 3R-C concept, which will be exhibited at booth alongside Honda FCX Clarity and EV-N, was designed by a European team working at the research department of Japan, located in Milan. via | Honda Related Posts:Geneva 2010: Shakira charming the audience at SeatHispano Suiza – a super sport car at Geneva Motor ShowProton Hybrid Concept: first pictures of the crossover version with bodyworkHyundai brings at Geneva i30 facelift and iFlow conceptHonda Micro Commuter Concept at the 42nd Tokyo Motor Show...
