Honda has revealed the Small Hybrid Sports Concept — a compact sports car that features the Japanese automaker’s latest hybrid technology and futuristic design cues.

The Small Hybrid Sports Concept is based around a front-wheel drive, small car platform and is powered by a Honda IMA 4-cylinder petrol/electric hybrid system driving through a CVT transmission.

The exterior design of the two-door coupe is characterised by short front and rear overhangs, wheelarches that wrap tightly around large wheels, and rounded body styling that contrasts with sharp ‘folded’ edges along the waistline and at each corner.

The Hybrid Sports Concept is equipped with 165/60 section tyres mounted on 20-inch rims. Their dimension supports low rolling resistance without compromising sporty driving. The coupe measures 4000mm in length, is 1270mm tall and 1760mm wide, and has a 2350mm wheelbase.
