The Honda CR-Z series should get on western markets between late 2009 and early 2010, although it is past but less than a year after the presentation of the prototype in Tokyo 2007, is included in the network a first reconstruction of style. For the record was a reader of our German friends Carscoop a try in the render.

The style of the CR-Z Concept remained almost entirely in volumes, but not in the manner for which the lover preferred to smooth some ‘tones prototype:

via the muzzle (which someone clearly resembles some models Maserati ) With the big grille, instead of which it appeared a smaller and welcome to side and try the Honda Civic. You proceedings on the final outcome.

So similar, so different, Both Scirocco - or IROC want to look further back in time - unmistakably Civic: bold, unconventional, outside the box. Nearly forty years and not hear: figurarsi it would have waived right now to dare to act as more provocative.

Auto Express imagines the case, pointing out - rightly - as the prototype Open Study Model un’apprezzata will prove a source of inspiration. Even more of the coupe, will be offered in two body shapes, with five doors more versatile and spacious.

Debuttera a new hybrid engine, a 1.5 for over 150 horses, credited to un’indole less remissiva compared to today’s “twin engines”. And the Type-R? Disappointment or curiosity? According to the English magazine, in fact, the next 2.0 i-VTEC “R” will be made more performance from an electric motor.

It was foreseeable that emulation: too innovative segment, too satisfying result for not trigger an invasion of clones. Not from a stylistic point of view but “ideological”. The SUV-coupe, more simply SAC - Sports Activity Coupe marketing BMW has a definition ready for everything - is intended to expand in a cross-supply sport utility. Honda car has not lost time.

Its own interpretation, in fact, is already on the roads of the United States to carry out the first test, bardata from un’improbabile sheet black unable to conceal the proportions. While it is impossible to discern trends in the volume back, one can clearly discern a step long with a profile of the roof to fall, a tapered glass and a high belt line and almost overwhelming.

What that London is not a Hall of primary importance in the international automobile exhibition, is not a new fact. We say that its role could be equated to that of a light aperitif pre-awaited summer to autumn bouffe that awaits us in Paris, another manifestation of that calibre violentera our senses of fans with a veritable flood of world premiere.

Nevertheless, the novelty in the capital are not missed. Easy listing the star of this edition 2008: Ford Focus RS Concept, Honda MDGs Concept, Lotus Evora, Opel Insignia, Renault Megane R26.R, Seat Ibiza SportCoupe were certainly the most protagonists in view of BIMS this year.

Now, with the opportunity of this new gallery created by Tom Phillips of AutoExpress (on the blog CarTribe find all the photos you took) and our James Gasperotti, we want to take away the curiosity to know your opinion: which of the six o’clock news mentioned above you liked more?

Sano protectionist spirit: how to define it otherwise, especially if shown by the subjects of His Majesty. It is not very credible comparison made by Auto Express: Honda NSX, in their view, will battagliare with Aston Martin V8 and Jaguar XKR. It is true, is also included Maserati GranTurismo, but if all the numbers of Japanese will prove correct, the three European coupe will be devoured in one bite.

The V10 5.5 again strictly technical solutions derived from the technology involved in Formula 1, with even the ability to disable a bank to encourage consumption and emissions. Power and torque will reach the astounding values of 590 horses and 600 Nm, while still F1 will provide the ideas to develop aerodynamics: according to some rumours, the final part of car will provide an idea of a great wing.

The last element balzato the chronicles is the weight, measured in only 1500 kilos. The Nissan GT-R, main opponent, look for two and half quintals higher. Hard Times for sportsmanship.

A few days ago we showed his sketches, yesterday was the turn of the final photos issued by Honda and today, thanks to the valuable work that James Gasperotti has done for us in London, will show live pictures of the prototype MDGs, initials that simply means “Open Study Model.

The Honda MDGs is a prototype of spiders two places dry on paper that promises a mass dry very low (and therefore a character from real peperino, if it were to be produced) and special attention to the environment. The roadster presented in the capital in fact, continues ideally undertaken by the speech in Tokyo from 2007 Honda CR-Z, coupe concept of hybrid propulsion.

For her, at the time, it is not satisfied series production, but even if positive, will not be the MDGs to replace the extreme S2000. Menomale, we would like to add. Would you like because London is not Paris or Frankfurt, either because… well, there are excuses: Open Study Model has not forms that are shouting to the miracle. On the contrary, the impression is that this time the designers c’abbiano not taken, nor on the proportions (less than dynamic…) nor on whether somatic. Too bad because the theme that have chosen to deal could give life to outcomes much more exciting.

Honda car has presented in London the concept MDGs (Open Study Model), returning to a subject very dear to the English public a small spider essential, sports and simple. Although Honda has avoided any reference, this concept seems to draw from near the CR-Z, coupe hybrid already smell of series production.

Designed by German Honda headquarters in Germany, wants to show the MDGs can be attractive as a friend of the environment, with low emissions without sacrificing the driving pleasure. These statements confirm the hypothesis of kinship with the CR-Z, even if no technical data was widespread. The production in series, unfortunately, is not currently planned.

Italians good people, Italians from the heart of gold. Italians, however, far from being accustomed to sportsmanship or, at least, is what I think Honda car. As explained, otherwise, the desire to achieve this special based on Type S with diesel engine? The VTEC, assured, we like yet. The Japanese manufacturer realizes for our market a special series of Civic, called Fireblade Replication, and inspired by the millona in Tokyo.

The changes are aimed at aesthetic, as the adoption of new extractors front and rear, as well as circles alloy 18-inch matte finish. The colors for the exterior, however, are only three: black, red and silver.
