Honda has some cool concepts for adrenaline seekers. How about an all-electric e hatchback and N-One kei car version? These two share a great inspired theme from a different form of motorsport featuring modern upgrades.

The e-Drag is aimed to keep up with the racer and has severe modifications for this certain purpose - to drag race and win. Based on the Advance trim, this concept has the power improved along with other upgrades brought on the vehicle's weight reduction and increased grip. To deliver the best performance on the race track, you get a full carbon fiber body, lightweight front clamshell, embodied bumper, fenders, and hood.

The stripped interior brings a deleted rear seat replaced with a Kirkey aluminum bucket and new fixed acrylic windows. Of course, Honda replaced the standard wheels and tires with new full mounted-on lightweight 17-inches wheels wrapped in slick tires. The wheels were adapted from the original NSX.

Based on the Civic-based suspension this concept embraces newly optimized front or rear weight distribution for an optimized weight distribution for instant launches. The e-Drag concept gives you burnout experiences in preparation for a run. Of course, you'd get the concept car with an already installed 6-point roll bar and 4-point harness for a Japanese safe drag race. 

The second Honda concept is the N-One “K-Climb”, modified for intriguing hill climb racing. For this concept, Honda had to aim at a lighter and more agile vehicle. Besides the carbon-fiber body, here we get thoroughly modified aerodynamics. Still, the automaker left the hood intact.

Here we got more adjustable dampers and Yokohama Advan Fleva tires, a wider track width, and arch extensions. For a safer climb and more rigidity, you'll find a 6-point roll bar on this K-climb. safety and rigidity, it also has a 6-point roll bar.


Even if the model wasn't developed for production, it's interesting to see such a tremendous work in progress. It might be a fun way to spend the quarantine, but maybe some of this feature would end up into one of the future racing models.
