This car was recently unveiled at a car show (I think it was Detroit, but I am not sure). Honda says the DN-X can achieve 42 mpg and has a 0.23 coefficient of drag, which is a full 25 percent lower than that of the mid-engine the NSX. It is a hybrid vehicle.

Kind of crazy looking in a concept car kind of way, but I bet that it will look pretty good if it makes it into production.


I am not sure if this picture works.

Looks like I had trouble posting it again, Oh well

sighting confirmed

forget what mag i saw it in though

 

4 passengers...
I say go all out and make it for 2.

 

Nah, it's fine like that... 2 seater wold just be an NSX eater, and I doubt Honda really wants to do that. But chances are, this is gonna end up like the hundreds ofgreat concepts they tease us with, they are gonna kill it.

 

Yeah, I saw that thing in Road & Track, then again in Honda-Tuning. I think it's pretty cool, but, the'll never release it to the public...

 

2? going all out would just be the mclaren f1. why passengers? just put the driver in the middle.

 

check out that hood scoop thingie goin' from the front bumper through the hood area. interesting looking car... to big for my taste

 

the dn-x is the dual note concept from japan...its a purpose built car to showcase new technology that honda will be putting in their cars in the near future

 

i know what it is that i don't like about it.... it looks too much like a nascar

 

?? hmm?

last i recall the mclaren F1 sat 3.. the driver in the middle with 2 passengers on each side

either way

400hp?? probably with a 4500lbs curb weight haha

 

that thing is fugly

 

sweet........

 

Mass HP and gas milage could not ask for more sighn me up for one

 

That might be the next base for the NSX if I have read correctly. According to MotorTrend or Car and Driver, the next generation NSX will sport the driveline of this concept car, a hybrid of sorts.

 

i like

 

****** sick nuff said

 

not bad. can't be power and good gas mileage all in one.

 

I really like Honda's concept of economy/efficiency and performance into one. However i beleive these factors contradict one another in a consumers point of view.. those who are after performance cars don't care about fuel economy and would rather purchase a Corvette or similar. And those who ask for fuel economy don't drive 2 door coupe performance cars around either.. You don't see riced up Civic's with stickers saying "40mpg y0!".

Personally i think it's a great idea by Honda but i doubt they'll get alot of success out of this.. of course, i'm only stereotyping here and there are always exceptions, but it's the majority over minority that matters money wise, i hope i'm wrong, because this would probably result in them moving away even further from the performance car market, in the near future.

It's just my opinion..
