ransport, a futuristic concept for an ultra-compact and sophisticated city coupe. P-NUT features a modular rear engine bay designed to accommodate different power train technologies including I C engine, battery- electric drivetrain or Hybrid system. The car is designed for cities and tight urban areas to navigate with relative ease. It can accommodate 3 passengers with central driving position flanked by two rear seats balancing the need for maximum interior space and an aerodynamic appearance.
The interior layout, provides munificent legroom for the passengers and its functionality is increased by rear seats that can fold up and out to increase the storage capacity. Coming to the exterior styling, the flowing lines from front and span outward toward the rear standout for futuristic design. The windshield serves as head up display for navigation and reversing camera which offers above the head visibility and extends almost to floor of the vehicle. It follows the trend of small cars like Daimler’s smart car, Nissan Land Glider and concept cars of VW.
Though no official announcement is made on production of this car, it succeeded in being the highlight of the show. It is developed by Advanced Design Studio of Honda R&D Americas, Inc.
