I normally don't chime in on the 818 stuff, but I just saw this Honda EV-STER concept and thought I should post. Resemblances to many of the 818 designs are staggering, look carefully at some of the design cues. Maybe bleeding edge design shouldn't happen on a public forum!! :(

More info:
http://www.torquenews.com/1/hondas-ev-ster-electric-sports-2012-reduces-weight-special-materials

convert sizes:

Wheelbase: 2325 mm = 7.63 feet (91.53 inches)...................FFR 95"

Height: 1100mm = 43.31 inches.......................FFR 47.5" to 52"

I say they are in the same ballpark size wise. It looks like a Honda which kissed an Audi on a date once upon a time. It is a handsome car, would have fit right in with the other 818 submittals.

This new Honda Concept does look very inviting and 818esk. I don't think they will let me build my own, so I'm staying with FFR.

Curious. I'm not liking the Honduh concept at all. Too much concept, too much like a car we'll look back on and say "ha ha, that's what we thought the future was going to look like".

Has anyone seen the Audi mid-engine roadster? It looks a lot like the winners design.

I'm assuming with the EV in the name it is actually an electric vehicle as well.
