Futuristic Eco-Hatchback Concepts

This Concept Honda Hatchback is a Futuristic Grocery-Getter

While the design of the futuristic grocery-getter isn't going into production at Honda any time soon, the images and designs of the car are sleek. Seriously, this car looks like it would be perfectly at home in the futuristic world of movies like Minority Report or Blade Runner. With its rounded contours and sleek leading lines, it really does seem like a flawless design evolution of the current Honda models that encourages both performance racing with a safe grocery-getter.

In Chau's own words, "By blending the virtual world with reality, R-EV allows young drivers to gradually build skill and race track licensing to enable safe and rewarding driving behaviors on and off the road."
