Honda is up to many things in America, as of late, but another attempt at an electrified supercar like the second-generation NSX is not on the bucket list. No worries, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators has put it up on a tab for them.
The Japanese automaker recently modified a Peterbilt truck to run on hydrogen, and the fuel cell commercial vehicle uses no less than three FCEV systems to generate a combined output of 240 kW (322 hp), allowing it to run up to 400 miles with a full load tucked behind it. They also recently introduced the 2025 Civic with upgrades and the eagerly-awaited hybrid powertrain.

The latter has replaced the 1.5-liter turbo mill from all grades aside from the Civic Si and comes with 200 hp and 50 mpg to show how Honda opened a love letter to HEVs and demonstrate that hybrids are so much cooler than we give them credit for. While we wait to see if the 2026 Honda Prelude hybrid is getting to America or not, we also found out that its Ridgeline unibody mid-size pickup truck is more American than traditional Chevy or Ford trucks!

Suppose you still don't feel that everything is right again in Honda's world because the Acura NSX is gone all over again. In that case, the parallel universes of vehicular CGI have done it again – in a natural progression after the first NSX was exclusively ICE-powered. The second iteration was a great and sporty hybrid; here comes a design proposal for a Honda sports car that's completely electric.

Brought to our attention by the good folks over at automotivedesignplanet, this independent creation was done by Junwan Woo, aka junwan_woo_x on social media. This young virtual artist is an industrial design student in South Korea, and he recently studied a very serious business case – how Honda is going to top its soon-full roster of EVs with a fully electric mid-engine sports car.

In fact, since this is merely wishful thinking, the pixel master took things a step further and entered the realm of EV hypercars – right there where the Rimac Nevera exists a bit lonely as it waits for others like the Lotus Evija to join it and form a crowd. Obviously, this hypothetical design project would feature a yet-undeveloped "state-of-the-art battery technology, offering impressive range and power" while also looking quite recognizable as a Honda product.

So, would you like to see Honda join the Rimac Nevera, Aspark Owl, Pininfarina Batista, Lotus Evija, or Tesla Roadster 2.0 in the rarefied stratosphere of EV hypercars? Keep in mind that, in order to succeed, they would need to top recent PHEV creations like the 1,775-horsepower Bugatti Tourbillon!
