Honda might just do what Audi did with the TT. Release a concept car

Not far off what they did with the FN2 which only lost the wheels and the gash yellow paintwork.

They subtled a fair bit down from concept to production when you look at pics side by side. Still looked good though.

...from the front. Never liked the rear end on the FN2 but head on they look nice.

This one is seriously tempting me though!

Yet another anti climax. The concept looks utterly ridiculous. The gear change looked sh 1t. Just show us the fo 0 k ing finished article before we all die.

I think this is the annoying thing. Honda are releasing loads of footage of the concept and none of the official car. If the 'official' car looks quite different to the concept (as in not as good) then that's real poo on Honda's part and it will p1ss a lot of people of. Particularly those who were hoping for the aggressive looks of the concept.

I feel that Honda might be setting themselves up to fail with this car, they have shown off the prototype for so long that people will be expecting that as the finished product. I really hope that I'm wrong as I want this car to be epic.

Love the advert. Makes me feel like a giddy child watching it (the night version). Awesome. Now do it right and release that beast Honda!!

[Lewis.]

And all you haters stop hatin'!

[skinnyman9000]

The finished article must be very close to the concept, surely. It wouldn't make sense to constantly show sneek peeks of a concept to release something else. What we're seeing in these videos must be the finished article.

Otherwise they can go suck a ball bag.

Dunno if you guys have seen this it has some more detailed pics of the mule (or possibly final version who knows)

Mule [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

[Lewis.]

How do you know fella? I hope you're right!

[Magnificent_one]

Was reading a few articles and saw it isn't comfirmed for the european market? So no R in Belgium?
Nothing on the honda.be website so I don't think it will be released over here... :bad-words:
I'll just have to import one than

[Lewisgame]

I'd guess that it's just a mule with the Type R running gear and some added bits to simulate similar aero to the final production car.
Things like the rear wing ect can all be developed behind closed doors thanks to wind tunnels.

[smartie]

Looks like the finished car with a dodgy paint job.

[mc36155]

Obviously a mule. Pretty much the same car as in the first pictures of it going round the ring. Why everyone has to panic every time they see the same mule car, OMG is that it this time? Oh my god honda have f'd this up.

Just testing ride on different roads..? In the mule.

[smartie]

A mule that looks almost the same as the concept.
