Concept Car: Honda HSC - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

)

The HSC was created to deliver the joy of a sports car and the thrill of free-spirited driving in a package that anyone can handle. It combines the ultimate in vehicle performance with carefree handling accessible to all.

The HSC is a pure sports car, offering driving exhilaration that until now only a professional could experience. The long wheelbase and short overhangs help maximise performance. Located mid-ship for better handling, the lightweight compact V6 engine is designed for high efficiency and an output in excess of 300 horsepower. A paddle-shift shift lever makes for instant gear changing.

The HSC delivers liberating technology in a machine accommodating enough for any driver. It all started with the S500, Honda’s first automobile a two-seat sports car – and the HSC is the latest inheritor of the Honda sports DNA. The HSC – a pure sports car for the new age.

Dimensions: 4250 x 1900 x 1140 (l x w x h

This looks really sweet. A great update for the NSX wedge style! Of course, we'll see just how much of it reaches production.

bennyb · 11-06-2003, 06:52 PM

Im not to huge of a wedge style fan, but i think if they wanted to give me one, i would accept

I like the interior. The muffler's are madd cool, reminds me of the zonda...

Snakebyt · 11-06-2003, 07:25 PM

i hear dthat may be the new NSX, i think its a bad ass looking car, and im sure it will perform well

JStrider · 11-06-2003, 07:53 PM

looks pretty cool

CamaroRS1967 · 11-07-2003, 03:28 PM

That's very slick...

drawerfixer · 11-07-2003, 04:03 PM

I'm also not a big fan of the wedge style, so this car doesn't appeal to me. The exhaust and rims look good though.

bundy · 11-07-2003, 07:56 PM

this cars shape reminds me of another car.
perhaps this Honda is a homage to the Enzo?

or maybe i´m just imagining it.

i´m quite taken with those exhaust pipes though. i´m pleased that new cars are playing around with those.

ledhead · 11-07-2003, 08:20 PM

from the front it looks excellent. but from the rear and the interior, they could have worked a little harder. but that would be cool if it is the next nsx.

sTghezzo · 11-07-2003, 10:46 PM

reminds me of a ferrari or a lamborghini

supafly · 11-08-2003, 01:59 AM

Like the outside, but the inside is less nice.
Is this the the next-gen NSX?

acpower · 11-08-2003, 04:15 AM

i think it's awesome except for the rear end.. looks very rough

ireallydontknow · 11-08-2003, 03:36 PM

that looks awesome.. sorta reminds me of the acura NSX

big_bubba · 11-09-2003, 03:27 PM

Anybody else besides me and bundy notice that they ripped off the Enzo? GOod ol' honda. They're so *cough* creative.

theguyondacouch · 11-09-2003, 04:23 PM

Thats awesome!

T-Prime · 11-09-2003, 08:31 PM

Yeah, I'm not one for the rear end, exhaust pipes included. I guess I'm a 'traditionalist' in that I like the pipes closer to the corners than the middle. Also, it looks like they should have jet afterburners coming out of those tail lights...

stingc · 11-09-2003, 10:58 PM

The side looks good, but too much like a poor-man's Enzo. The rear and interior are botched though. They look like they were taken off the set of a B grade sci-fi movie.

Stare At The Sun · 11-10-2003, 07:48 AM

Headlights look good i'd like to see more interior pics though

dangsta · 11-10-2003, 11:13 PM

thats the new acura nsx..

shakran · 11-11-2003, 05:23 PM

someone's been stealing interiors from the grand-am. Those gauge pods C or D cup? And what's that weird handle looking thing that goes over the gauges? Needs serious interior massage and some tail light work, but the front/sides are great!

numist · 11-11-2003, 05:50 PM

holy smokes... first thing I could think of:

I'd hit it

It looks awesome, if the engine produces like their design team did, I'd take it.

ace81385 · 11-12-2003, 10:01 PM

that looks pretty cool!!

spanky_pete · 11-13-2003, 04:43 PM

Wait, this is from the same company that brought us the Element?

Me likes!

Deuce66 · 11-15-2003, 04:55 PM

Sexy car...Any idea on whats under the hood?

Stare At The Sun · 02-02-2004, 11:09 PM

Looks like a good replacement to the NSX to me. Though the back is a little boxy, i'd still drive the hell out of it.

Exaust=very nice too.

02-02-2004, 11:46 PM

that thing is damn sexy!

Peryn · 02-03-2004, 07:22 AM

Definately a replacement for the NSX if it goes through. Looking so similar, they couldn't put it off as a different model. I really like the design though, and would love for them to go through with it and put out some more specs.

Kinda curious about one of the methods of shifting though "Shifting is accomplished through a unique dial shifter located on the center console or an F-1 style paddle shifter located on the steering wheel."

A dial to do your shifting? Wierd.

Scorps · 02-03-2004, 11:00 AM

Why do all the sport cars look the same?

Bigt6909 · 02-04-2004, 05:26 PM

that car looks sweet... i wonder how it will do in the market

miko · 02-04-2004, 09:34 PM

Very nice! The acura nsx really needs updating.
