Honda Unveils Low-Emission OSM Roadster, Possible New Design Direction
Staying true to the sketches, Honda has pulled the sheet off their lightweight roadster concept at the British Motor Show. The focus of this "study model" isn't on the drivetrain, like the Honda CR-Z, but rather on the lightweight roadster design — so much so that they don't mention a power source at all. Given the focus on low emissions in the press release, we imagine the two-seater would be paired with a small diesel if the car becomes a reality. Though there are "no plans for it to enter production," a similar car would clearly compete with the Focus CC and the Eos in Europe. We can dream, can't we? Full press release below the jump.
