Following other automakers in the confusing trend towards hybrid sports cars, the Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept is powered by an inline 4-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor, all connected through a CVT transmission. Sporting wheels that would make most high-school car fanboys red with envy, the Small Hybrid Sports Concept looks kind of like a cross between their old Insight, and some sort of retro-throwback to the old Honda CRX, only without headlights.
Did I mention that the wheels are hideously ugly? They’re also 20” in diameter. It appears that the creators had to aggressively flare the front fenders just to clear the tires although, arguably, that looks rather cool. More disappointing, however, is the 165mm tire tread width on those 20” wheels.
I’m still not understanding the hybrid sports car trend. As I mentioned earlier, Toyota is rumored to be thinking of a hybrid motor for the new Supra, but I have to argue that sports cars aren’t supposed to blow petunias and filtered water out of the exhaust. Trees are supposed to wilt, and elderly persons are supposed to gasp for breath. When I think of sports car, I’m thinking something along the lines of a heavily ported 13B-REW in a late-model Mazda Rx-7: Visibly spitting liquid fuel and oil out of the exhaust, and shooting 3 foot flames on every throttle lift-off.
Keep the hybrid crap for the more normal-people-oriented cars, please. |

Hi!
I think what you’re missing is the performance aspect. An electric motor delivers 100% torque instantaneously, so the acceleration from a hybrid or electric motor-powered car can be much greater than from a straight ICE car.
I would rather have a higher-performance car as a sports car, and I’d rather have a car that was less polluting, and I’d rather have a car that doesn’t burn carbon-based fuel.
A hybrid sports car is getting there, but an all-electric can fullfill all 3 objectives above.
Also, some type of storage medium, as in a battery can capture the energy created during braking, which is currently totally wasted in a typical ICE car. I want that energy back to aid my acceleration when I throttle up.
