Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept

By Ben Whitworth First Official Pictures 08 March 2007 08:56 The world's first 80mpg sports coupe Green doesn’t have to mean dull and worthy – that Honda’s message behind its intriguing-looking Small Hybrid Sports Concept, star of its show stand and likely to enter production within the next two years. Sitting on a modified Civic platform, the European designed SHSC is powered by 1.4-litre VTEC petrol and electric engines, that will, Honda claims, return 80mpg on the urban cycle, with low emission levels of 120g/km. The teardrop-shaped two-seater also features massive low-resistance 20-inch tyres and a full-length glass roof that flows into its tail.

Driven: a week with a Chevrolet Volt

In Fall 2010, before the Volt went on sale in North America, we sampled an early build model and came away so impressed, we declared it the car for the digital age. Since then the car has received harsh criticism from the press and been outsold by the Nissan Leaf in the North American market. Given the unique powertrain, we felt longer exposure to the Volt was therefore in order, so on a recent trip to Michigan, we lived with one for five days.

Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE dropped in the UK

But if you’ve been saving hard to get yourself in the entry-level Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE – Land Rover’s £51,550 entry-level Sport – you need to think again. It’s been dropped.
