At this year’s Geneva show, Honda will reveal an interesting looking concept vehicle called the 3R-C.
The 3R-C was designed and developed solely by the company’s European studio, based in Milan, Italy. Billed as a “minimal urban transport vehicle,” it’s hard to call the 3R-C a concept car, as the one-passenger, three-wheeled design study blurs the line between microcar and scooter.
Although it appears to have a translucent canopy in these pictures, it only shields the cockpit when the 3R-C is parked — in normal operation, it rotates upright, serving as a windshield and air deflector. Designers wrapped the “safety seat” in bodywork, helping protect the driver from debris and traffic. We’d imagine a helmet would be requisite, and conveniently enough, the 3R-C sports a locking trunk, large enough for such gear or small luggage.
Its Power comes from a battery-electric driveline mounted low in the chassis, but Honda hasn’t provided any details and and hasn’t indicted yet if the concept is actually functional. We’ll hopefully learn more come March 2, when the press days in Geneva kick off.
