Concept cars are the best kind of car around, seriously. So what if you can’t drive them? You can look at them, and imagine driving them. The [Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saloon) Skydeck is a super rad ride that will probably never be produced.

This [hybrid bad boy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acura-performance-ev-concept) features a battery pack in the center that frees up interior space. Plus, according to TopGear.com, “Honda has also done its best to incorporate every weird door configuration known to man: the front doors are scissor arrangements that hinge forward, Lambo-style, while the rears drop down and slide to the back of the Skydeck.” Check out the gallery for more Honda Skydeck.
