We imagine this is what you'd get if you crossed an Ariel Atom with a MotoGP motorcycle.

It's called the Honda Project 2&4 and it's the winning entry from the Japanese firm's ‘Global Design Project’.

Scheduled for a world premiere at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show, the Project 2&4 brings together Honda's know-how in two- and four-wheel mobility, not only with the cabin-less structure that features a floating seat design for an immerse (some would call it insane) driving experience, but also through the use of the brand's MotoGP RC213V motorcycle racing engine.

Modified to run on public roads, the mid-mounted 999 cc V-4 four-stroke unit has a 14,000 rpm redline, pumping out more than 215PS (212hp) at 13,000 rpm and over 118Nm (87 lb-ft) of peak torque at 10,500 rpm. It is connected to a six-speed DCT gearbox that drives the rear axle.

Before you say that's not a lot of oomph from the V4, learn that the 3,040mm long, 1,820mm wide and 995mm tall single-seater tips the scales at just 405 kg or 893 pounds.

The body design, together with the placement of the engine, are said to have been inspired by Honda's 1965 Formula One racing car, codenamed RA271.

Further details are to be released at the Frankfurt show.

405kg et 215ch

Waouw!
Audacieux, le baquet fixé au dessus... du sol!!!
Quid de la résistance aéro de la "dalle" qui tient lieu de compteur?

Le moteur de la RCV 213 a été "modified to be used on public roads".
Faut pas rêver, en l'état actuel de la législation, la direction sans liaison mécanique lui interdit de toute façon toute extrapolation dans le monde réel.

Comparativement, il n'y avait pas loin du concept car SSM à la S2000 de production!

HONDA PROJECT 2&4 POWERED BY RC213V TO DEBUT AT FRANKFURT: A COMBINATION OF GLOBAL CREATIVITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Winner of Honda’s ‘Global Design Project’ to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show
Cabin-less structure features a floating seat design for immersive driving experience
Powered by Honda’s MotoGP RC213V engine, modified to run on public roads

‘Honda Project 2&4 powered by RC213V', the winning entry from Honda's ‘Global Design Project', will make its global debut at the 66th Frankfurt Motor Show at stand B11 in Hall 9.0.

Embodying the concept of ‘creative craftsmanship', Honda Project 2&4 celebrates Honda's position as the world's leading engine manufacturer, providing engines to 28 million people per year across two- and four-wheel automotive, power equipment, marine and aerospace applications.

An example of the continuous effort by Honda to design an ever-more immersive driving experience, Honda Project 2&4 brings together the brand's unique capabilities in two- and four-wheel mobility. Featuring the RC213V competition motorcycle engine, which has been modified to run on public roads, Honda Project 2&4 provides the freedom of a motorcycle and the manoeuvrability of a car.

Its exceptional power unit, developed for the world-class MotoGP motorcycle racing series and specially tuned for the public road, is a 999 cc V-4 four-stroke unit and conforms to Honda's ‘The Power of Dreams' guiding philosophy that inspires innovation and originality. Peak power output is over 215 PS at 13,000 rpm, while peak torque of over 118 Nm is delivered at 10,500 rpm. Transmission is provided by a six-speed DCT gearbox.

Inspired by the global creativity of one ‘Team Honda'

Over 80 designers and creators participated in the in-house ‘Global Design Project' competition, which is part of Honda's initiative to inspire creativity as one ‘Team Honda'.

The objective of the annual contest between Honda design studios is to challenge team and project members to share one goal and achieve high targets.

Honda Project 2&4 is an example of what this stimulating challenge can generate thanks to the differing qualities of each participant. Conceived by Honda's motorcycle design studio in Asaka and designed in collaboration with the automobile design studio in Wako, Honda Project 2&4 seeks to create an intense driving experience by combining the most thrilling elements of riding a motorcycle with the most engaging characteristics of driving a car. The result not only showcases the creativity flowing through Honda's design studios, but also challenges expectations of the future of mobility.

Conceived for immersive driving thrills

Drawing on Honda's racing heritage, the body design and engine position has been inspired by the legendary Honda RA272 of 1965. The structure reveals the core frame and functional parts of the car, much as would be more customary for a bike, and is similarly compact. Overall length is 3,040 mm, width 1,820 mm and height 995 mm. A resulting weight of just 405 kg maximises the impact of the power of the mid-mounted engine which, together with the low centre of gravity, ensures an exceptionally high level of responsiveness.

The exhilarating feeling created from the open cockpit is significantly enhanced by the driver's seat, uniquely suspended just above the road. The ‘floating seat' design places the driver as close to the action as possible, evoking the freedom of a bike and completing the immersion provided by Honda Project 2&4's extreme performance, 14,000 rpm red line and unique engineering

Bien, le profil!

On saisit mieux la conception de l'engin!
Et on se prend à rêver d'une KTM X Bow propulsée par un V4 Desmosedici (déjà homologué)

Ben à 190000 € la RC213V n'est déjà pas financièrement à la portée de tout le monde...

En même temps c'est pas ce que nous attendons d'Honda Automobiles Europe ! Faut bien que les ingénieurs se détendent après tout ce qu'ils font ( surtout hors Europe) !
