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.

Holidaymakers warned against bogus hire car

AHEAD OF THE busy holiday period a warning has been issued to those travelling abroad to look out for car hire rental scams.

But the BVRLA is aware of many customers who have handed over deposits for cars that are never delivered, leaving them out of pocket and with no transport.
