As part of the Japanese manufacturer's plans for an electrified future, the Sports EV Concept will lead Honda's charge

Honda is set to unveil an all-new electric sports car, the Sports EV Concept, at the Tokyo Motor Show next month.

The teaser sketch doesn’t reveal much, as expected, ahead of the concept's full debut in Tokyo on 25 October. The image shows that the Sports EV adopts a traditional sports car body with a long bonnet, coupe-like roofline and flared haunches.

According to Honda the electric sports car has been developed with efficiency at its core. AI technology coupled with an electric powertrain showcases Honda’s vision for the future of its range. The Japanese manufacturer announced earlier this month that its European model range will be fully electric or hybrid powered by 2025, with the Sports EV Concept showing that sports cars will also play a role.

Honda’s Urban EV Concept will also be a key figure in Honda’s display in Tokyo this year. It was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this month sporting a retro body reminiscent of 1970’s Honda Civic, but with full electric capabilities and an expected range of 200 miles.
