Honda FC Sport concept
Toronto, Ontario – The future of performance cars might look like this: a three-seat sports car powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. The stylish Honda FC Sport design study model uses Honda’s V Flow fuel cell technology, already deployed in the Honda FCX Clarity sedan, and reconfigures it into a lightweight sports car design with an ultra-low centre of gravity, powerful electric motor performance and zero-emissions.
“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.”
The high-output Honda fuel cell powertrain and a sleek, aerodynamic body contribute to the vehicle’s performance potential. A modular approach to fuel cell component packaging and the electric drivetrain contribute to the FC Sport’s low centre of gravity with the majority of vehicle mass distributed between the axles, creating the balanced weight distribution sought after in sports cars.
