Honda "We are the world"

The new Honda livery will be a striking green and blue "map of the world", which has been designed to underline Honda's desire to be seen as an ecologically friendly car company. The full details of the package will be released at the Science Museum in London tomorrow.

Original but ugly.

I think that is a pretty cool idea though -- won't they be putting sponsors names all over the top of it though?

 

[Monster]

apparently honda cannot get a major sponser. so there will hardly be any sponser name on the car, however sponser names will appear on the driver overall and the pit mechanics.

I prefer the old livery, it is more aggressive. The new one is ugly and it makes the car looks too friendly. The paintjob would be a nightmare though.

Yuk... not much else to say!

 

[PanterroR]

Seems like Greenpeace is their main sponsor...

This is what happens when the marketing department invade the F1 team.

 

[bmer]

Damn! I just loved the all black livery on the test cars.

 

[ADGvast]

but the F1 is nothing environment friendly.....

 

[Centurion]

The black one is hot. But the other one looks like something a child would create using green and blue playdough.

Honda Press Release
Honda Racing F1 Team launches pioneering environmental concept

The Honda Racing F1 Team today announced a major new initiative for the 2007 Formula 1 season. To help raise awareness of the environmental issues facing the planet, the RA107 F1 car will simply feature a huge image of earth, in place of the advertising and sponsor logos which have featured and dominated all other F1 cars for decades.

The car’s new look is a powerful call to action for fans, sponsors, customers and members of the public to join Honda’s commitment to help address the environmental issues facing the world.

Via the websitewww.myearthdream.com, anyone who wishes, will have the opportunity to have their name on the car, make a pledge to make a lifestyle change to improve the environment and make a donation to an environmental charity. Under the concept of “our car is your car”, each name will form a tiny individual pixel which will help build the image of planet earth on the car. Each name will be visible on the website when you make the pledge or under a microscope on the car.

Universal Music, the largest music company in the world, and Gatorade are the first global brands to partner the team in this exciting new concept. Existing partners have enthusiastically embraced the idea and all remain involved with the team for the 07 season. In addition, the team is delighted to announce that Fila, IBM, Instron, Oliver Sweeney, Perkin Elmer, Showa Denko, TUV and GF Agie Charmilles have joined the roster of team partners and suppliers.

The Honda Racing F1 Team will work closely with global environmental charities to develop Honda’s existing environmental ethos within the world’s most high profile motor-sport.

Nick Fry, Chief Executive Officer, Honda Racing F1 Team

“Climate change is probably the single biggest issue facing our planet and F1 is not immune from it. On the contrary we believe that F1 with its huge global profile and cutting edge technology can play an important role in not only highlighting the issues but also playing our part in developing solutions. In addition, the FIA recognises the opportunity for F1 to play an important role in developing technologies for the benefit of society long term. For example, by 2009, devices for energy recovery will be in place on the cars.

“So we at Honda F1 are proud to dedicate our car to the environmental challenge. We believe that solutions can stem directly from engineers working on our F1 program and are working harder than ever to achieve our dreams and win the World Championship while embracing and underscoring Honda’s environmental ethos.”

“First and foremost, we are a race team and F1 is very much a team sport. We achieve our racing objectives only by working together and parallels can be drawn with the way that we must all join together to address the environmental challenge. We hope that in raising awareness and highlighting the issues we will encourage members of the public to come together and help take on the challenge of climate change”.

Yasuhiro Wada, Chairman, Honda Racing F1 Team and General Manager, Honda Motor Company

“Honda has a huge desire to challenge for this year’s 2007 F1 World Championship. We hope this year will be a successful and exciting season. Equally we intend to give something back in the form of our new environmental F1 concept, which we believe will bring something fresh and new to motor sport.”

“Honda constantly strives to be innovative in both its technology and its thinking and to sincerely respond to the demands of customers and society. Honda has always made great efforts to contribute to the preservation of the environment in its corporate activity. We hope this new initiative for Honda in F1 will help to further stimulate awareness and interest across the world for these important environmental issues.”

Something funny about turning a gross pollutant into a billboard for ecological awareness.

That looks more like some lizard than a F1 car. And a terrible idea too, it is just going to put the focus on how F1 is not environment friendly. And they will be stuck with it - how are they going to sell it when they want to move to a different livery? does that mean they are not environment friendly any more.
It looks to me like some one up man-ship on the part of Honda with out really thinking it through.

 

[Speedster]

Its the sort of idea that looks good on paper, but then looks poor in reality. I think it could look better than it does now, but at least the Reanult livery looks worse (in my opinion anyway) . I think i might make a pledge, not to save the environment, but because i have always wanted my name on an F1 car, its a toss up between the front wing and the monocoque sections right now. The monocoque is visible on TV, but then again my name could be put all throughout many more products on the Front Wing. Shame its only 1 pixel big

Nice idea, don't like the style though

 

[Sunny]

Hhaha, I am waiting for the picture of this "green" F1 car with a blown engine, smoke all bellowing out from the back and spewing oil all over the place. Nice irony.

ROTFL That would indeed be funny as hell!

 

[Imhotep Evil]

F1 isn't green.

Now, bring on bio-diesel NA V10s, and get rid of Q3.

Even better is that you can put YOUR name on the car.
