This is not a new rumour and Japanese Best Car magazine has revealed another rendering of Honda's upcoming open top sports car. It seems that the new sports car won't be a Kei car, but instead, it will be based on the CR-Z. Also, Honda is also about to reveal an updated CR-Z.

Last year, it was reported that during 2012, Honda would reveal the production version of the EV-N concept (earlier post). Well, it seems that Honda is ready to launch it and those leaked photos are from the Japanese brochure! Most likely, the name of this little Honda will be N-One.

The NSX Concept gives an indication of how the next-gen NSX will look like. The concept is equipped with Honda's new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system. Utilizing a unique 2 Electric Motor Drive Unit with a Bilateral Torque Adjustable Control System, the all-new hybrid all-wheel-drive system can instantly generate negative or positive torque to the front wheels during cornering.
“This Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system will make NSX the ultimate expression of Acura’s idea to create synergy between man and machine,” said Takanobu Ito, president and CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. “The NSX will make the driver one with the car to enhance dynamic driving abilities without getting in the way.”
“Like the first NSX, we will again express high performance through engineering efficiency,” added Ito, who led the development of Acura’s first NSX supercar. “In this new era, even as we focus on the fun to drive spirit of the NSX, I think a supercar must respond positively to environmental responsibilities.”

Honda will introduce an NSX successor, although the initial project was halted for a few months due to the financial crisis. The new NSX won't have the same drivetrain configuration as the one we have seen being tested in the past, so you can expect a hybrid powetrain.
Japanese Best Car magazine has came up with this rendering, which is the latest one floating around the net. Nice...

As I have reported in the past, not only Daihatsu is working on a Copen successor, but Honda also plans to introduce a Beat successor (earlier post)! Those renderings of the new Beat and Copen come from Japanese Best Car magazine and I would really love to see those in Europe... although there is no chance to see the new Copen in Europe (earlier post).

You already know my opinion about the all-new Honda CR-V. In any case, those are the first official photos of the new JDM CR-V.

So, it took a bit longer, but I finally managed to upload some photos I took. The previous-gen model was way better and I really liked it. The new one is just a big failure in my opinion, with the front having some Seat design elements and the rear being simply ugly. In terms of the interior, the quality has been improved, but it has become very complex in terms of design with a lot of lines etc.

I will be able to upload more live photos very soon, but this is just one of them. The car looks a bit better in the flesh, but I think Honda has really failed with the rear end design.

As it was expected, the new EUDM Civic's design is an evolution of the current one and this is the first official photo published by Honda. I really like the new rear lights!

Those photos clearly show the looks of the all-new Honda CR-V and you can also see the interior. I have to admit that I am not impressed by the Volvo rear design at all...

This "concept" is a clear preview of the production model, as this is more or less what we will get (ok, minus the fancy bits). The new CR-V (earlier post) is set to go on sale in the United States by the end of 2011, and in Europe in Autumn 2012.

Honda readies a Beat successor (earlier post) and on the front cover of the latest Best Car issue there is a rendering of it. I think it was about time for Japanese manufacturers to start again producing those lovely Kei cars. I hope this time they will bring them also in Europe...

The all-new Honda CR-V (earlier post) was caught for the first time on the street. The rear end has been heavily "influenced" by Volvo's design language...

As already reported almost one month ago, not only Honda is working on a spicy CR-Z, but apparently Mugen is doing the same. The Mugen version is being developed purely as a one-off prototype and it will deliver around 197bhp and 181lb ft of torque!!! Mugen is actually using a supercharger to deliver the extra power, and the internals of the 1.5L four-cylinder petrol engine have been upgraded.
‘The idea was to use the significant advantage of the early torque provided by the Honda IMA electric motor, then increase the torque available from the petrol engine gradually, to first maintain and then increase this,’ says Mugen Euro’s project manager Colin Whittamore. ‘A supercharger and complementary electronics allow us to very neatly map the IMA to the extra power and torque of the engine in a unique package, giving a smooth, integrated and powerful driving experience.’
The impressive bit is the fact that Mugen may actually be able to improve on the standard CR-Z’s 56.5mpg and 117g/km CO2. Of course, and top of the list are front and rear five-stage adjustable dampers. There’s an increase in track width too, lightweight 17in forged Mugen GP alloys to reduce unsprung mass, and bigger brakes with four-pot monobloc calipers. There’s also a full visual upgrade, including Mugen-spec front and rear bumpers, a particularly large rear wing and some side skirts. And finally, Mugen is promising a ‘large reduction in overall weight’ so reckon on the removal of the back seats and a carbonfibre bonnet to cover that supercharged engine.

We know that Honda is working on a spicy CR-Z (earlier post) and this time, another report confirms that it will use a 2.0L NA engine. The power output claimed now is 190 ps and it is unclear whether it will be badged as Type R, or it will be given a different name such as CR-Z 2000. In any case, it is expected to be introduced in February 2012.
