WOWO AUTOMOTIVE

Honda FC Sport Concept is a hydrogen powered three-seat concept sport car. First revealed at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show, the FC Sport emphasize on the flexibility of the Honda's V Flow fuel cell technology which is already available on Honda FCX Clarity sedan. Some modification was made to the design on the Clarity results in a lightweight design with ultra-low center of gravity, complete with excellent motor performance and zero emission.

The aerodynamic body as well as high output from the fuel cell powertrain makes it all possible for the car to deliver excellent performance. The balance weight distribution is due to the vehicle mass distributed between the axles, while the low center of gravity is contributed by the modular approach to fuel cell component packaging and the electric drivetrain.


The FC Sport's clean environmental aspiration is conveyed through the glacier white body color while the dark wheels and tinted glass symbolize the Honda FC's unique combination of clean power and performance. The green construction technique also reduces the carbon footprint while the body construction is based on the organic, bio-structure theme whereby the exterior panel are intended to use plant-derived bio-plastic.


The low profile body looks futuristic. The rear hex forms in the rear houses cooling radiator for the fuel cell which is visible from the rear deck. The high speed aerodynamic of the FC Sport is further enhance with the Formula 1 style barge boards behind the front wheels.


The ideal placement of the Honda V-Flow fuel cell stack and related components demonstrates the benefits of a platform-specific, hydrogen-powered fuel cell powertrain. The FC Sport is configured to accommodate a custom-formed high-power fuel cell stack, located between the rear seats, and a battery pack placed low in the middle of the vehicle. The electric motor resides just forward of the rear axle. Two fuel storage tanks, visible from above, are located above the rear axle. The optimal placement of fuel cell components for performance also allows for a relatively large passenger cabin by conventional supercar standards with enough space for three seating positions. The interior layout focuses primarily on the driver with a racecar-like center driving position. The enclosed canopy opens upward from the rear to allow for entry and exit. Two rear passenger seats flank the driver's left and right side.
