Honda Motor Europe Ltd., the Japanese automaker's European arm has recently stirred the crowd at the 2007 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany with the display of Accord Tourer Concept. According to a Honda official press release, the premiere of the Accord Tourer Concept at IAA Frankfurt showcase the design characteristics of the all new Accord Tourer production model that is scheduled to hit the European market starting in 2008.
The Honda Accord Tourer Concept presented at IAA Frankfurt features a wider, lower, and sportier look compared to other Honda Accord models. The aggressive and sporty exterior styling of the Honda Accord Tourer Concept is complemented by the car's comfortable and functional interior with spacious cabin. This offers a "strong degree of versatility and practicality," according to the Japanese automaker.
At the heart of this new Honda concept comes a 2.0 or a 2.4-litre two i-VTEC petrol engine. Honda is also planning to include the newly developed 2.2-litre i-DTEC next-generation diesel engine in the powertrain lineup. All engines comply with the EURO 5 emissions standards. Other details of the Honda Accord Tourer Concept will be revealed at the upcoming 2008 Geneva Motor Show when the Japanese automaker unveils the production model for this concept. Probably standard Honda parts like Honda cornering light will be included in the production model.
Meanwhile, Honda Motor Europe Ltd. is also poised to present other production and concept models, as well as new powertrain systems at the IAA Frankfurt. First off is Small Hybrid Sports Concept that was developed at Honda R&D in Offenbach, Germany. This environmental friendly concept model features the advancement of hybrid technology combined with the aggressive driving characteristics of a sports car model. European car fans should expect this new concept to have these features like IMA petrol/electric hybrid powertrain system, two-door sports coupe design, short front and rear overhangs, accentuated arrow-like nose, one-piece glass roof, additional vertical window, good power to weight ratio, and 2,350 mm.
Also on the Honda stand is the Civic Hybrid 24H Race. This model will be on the "Sports" section at IAA Frankfurt and will join the Honda RA107 F1 race car. The Honda "Sports" stand will also feature the other high performance Honda vehicle models and will showcase the company's heritage in motor sports. Other models include the 1967 RA300 race car, and the production models of the Honda Civic Type R and Honda S2000. In addition, Honda will also present the Repsol Honda RC212V 800 cc motorcycle that currently competes in MotoGP.
