LA Show 2009 Highlights:Honda P-NUT Concept



Yes, it looks as interesting in real life as it does on your flat screen. Honda says its new P-Nut design study (short for Personal-Neo Urban Transport) was created “exclusively around the city lifestyle” and embodies what it thinks is the future of urban mobility.Designed entirely at Honda’s Los Angeles-based Advanced Design Center, it sports a 133.8-in. length, 68.9-in. width, and 56.7-in. height. Its three passengers have equal amounts of legroom thanks to the driver’s front and center seating position.

Although a design study, the P-Nut manages to shed an inkling of light on what Honda hopes to achieve in terms of future model powertrain interchangeability. It's capable of being powered by an ultra-compact gasoline engine, gasoline-hybrid motor, or an advanced EV system. It’s styling too is said to preview upcoming models such as the CR-Z sports coupe.
