Geneva 2010: Honda 3R-C Concept

[HighestOfHigh]

Ask anyone who's ever shopped for an ATV, outboard engine, personal robot...heck, even a private jet, and they'll tell you that cars are only the tip of the proverbial iceberg for Honda. The Japanese industrial giant is one of a handful of automakers that also makes motorcycles (along with the likes of Peugeot, BMW and Suzuki, to name just a few). And here in Geneva, the two core competences have come together in the form of the 3R-C Concept.

Packing two wheels up front and one in the back, the 3R-C is the latest take on the trike formula. The open cabin (which can be closed by the canopy windshield when parked) can accommodate one passenger/driver/rider in enclosed comfort, while the twin front rims keep it stable. It follows in a long line of intriguing R&D products from the technological powerhouse, but don't expect to see it parked curbside in front of your office/home/biker bar quite so soon.

All manufacturers, including BMW, are previewing a future of mobility, which will be dominated by this kind, of spaceshuttle-like cars, with three or four wheels, electric engines, and space for 2-3 people. Ultra small dimensions, and friendly towards the environment. I believe this is the type of car, the city centres will be full of in 20 years.

I'm not against it, unless they make the car only a tool and take the fun out of it...
