A mobility maker producing both motorcycles and automobiles, Honda offers unique value. Needing no cabin and sporting a chiseled body, this vehicle features a street spec version of the V4 engine that has powered the RC213V racing motorcycle to two consecutive winning seasons in the MotoGP World Championship. The minimalist design makes the frame and mechanical system visible, while the floating seat allows the driver to feel the road. By combining the openness of a motorcycle with the dynamic performance of an automobile, this vehicle provides a uniquely up-close and personal driving experience.

Bringing the joy of freedom of movement to as many people as possible―as well as all the discoveries and excitement that such movement makes possible. In its compact body, two adults can ride side-by-side, experiencing a completely new way to drive. Narrow roads are no problem, since the Honda Omni Traction Drive System allows complete freedom of movement forwards, backwards, laterally, and diagonally. In automatic drive mode, riders can sit back, and enjoy freedom of movement in an entirely new way.

The Honda Wander Walker Concept is a new form of personal mobility that gives the rider free access to the city of the near future, in which people move about in complete freedom. Highly compact and nimble, it has a turning radius of only 1 m and is 540 mm wide, narrow enough to pass through automatic train turnstiles in Japan. Just like a pedestrian, the rider is free to travel both indoors and outdoors. Its modern design looks great anywhere, and its carrying capacity makes it a practical choice for shopping trips.

Honda began researching the potential of hydrogen for a new hydrogen society at an early stage. Now, for the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, Honda is proud to present the FCV which combines at the highest level the convenience of a gasoline automobile and the unique appeal of a fuel cell vehicle. Incorporating Honda’s most advanced technologies, the FCV is the world’s first fuel cell vehicle sedan to feature an under-the-hood powertrain, and its full cabin packaging creates room for five adults in roomy comfort. Moreover, this fuel cell vehicle offers a generous range of over 700 km, a short refueling time of approximately 3 minutes, and an exhilarating driving experiencethanks to its high-output motor.

The all-new NSX is an important milestone in Honda’s unending pursuit of driving pleasure. While carrying on the DNA of the first-generation NSX, the new model features an even more lightweight body, a new inline V6 twin turbo engine in a midship layout and the three-motor SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD® (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) powertrain, which combines amazing driving with outstanding environmental performance. The engine teams up with a 9-speed Dual Clutch Transmission that incorporates a highly efficient electric motor, and each of the front wheels has its own independent motor. Using advanced torque vectoring, the SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD® distributes drive power freely to the four wheels, providing a revolutionary driving-on-rails feel at a wide range of speeds.

The goals: To produce the fastest front-wheel-drive production automobile. To polish the performance fundamentals of an automobile―moving, turning and braking―to an unsurpassed brilliance and offer a driving feel like none other, both on the circuit and on the road. These goals are fulfilled in the all-new Civic Type R. The exterior design combines sports car appeal with aerodynamic performance. Under the hood, a new “2.0 L VTEC Turbo engine” combines Honda’s original VTEC direct injection technology with turbocharging to deliver maximum output of 228 kW (310 PS) and maximum torque of 400 N•m (40.8 kgf•m)―the highest engine performance specifications in Civic Type R history. A 6-speed manual transmission brings out the best performance from this mighty powerplant.

The most comfortable environment possible for transporting a large number of people. In fulfillment of this concept, the Odyssey premium minivan brings together a generously roomy cabin, distinctive styling, and an exhilarating yet steady driving experience. And now the Odyssey will also be available as a hybrid vehicle. Featuring a new power control unit with a compact and concentrated structure for outstanding power density, the innovative dual-motor SPORT HYBRID i-MMD hybrid system offers both outstanding environmental performance and the powerful acceleration of an electric motor. Moreover, for the first time Honda has positioned the IPU* beneath the front row seats, resulting in an extremely spacious interior. Offering a new hybrid driving experience, the Odyssey Hybrid makes minivan travel more enjoyable than ever. Honda continues to take the minivan to new places!

Featuring Honda’s original center tank layout for outstanding spaciousness, the N-BOX continues to grow its appeal. Featuring UV- and IR-blocking privacy glass in all windows of the vehicle, the new 360° Super UV- and IR-Blocking Package blocks 99% of UV rays as well as IR (heat) rays.1 This package ensures that invisible rays from the sun no longer cause sunburn or skin discomfort, allowing occupants in all seats to enjoy the drive. Never fully satisfied with the present, always seeking to create even better products, Honda is further enhancing the bestselling minicar in Japan.

Looking at it is fun, and driving it is even more fun! Making sports car enthusiasts’ hearts beat faster, the S660 roadster arrives at the Tokyo Motor Show with an all-new style. Its gun metallic paint job is nicely coordinated with glossy black and metal parts and suede in the interior. Using different textures for contrast emphasizes the monotone look and crosses the inherent playfulness of the S660 with a starkly minimalist style. This unique take on the S660 takes the joy of being recognized in a whole new direction!
