At the recent 2024 CES in Las Vegas, Honda unveiled two electric concepts showing that it is trying to catch up with the competition that is making big strides towards full electrification. Also, Honda is interested in developing a sports car that should represent the beginning of the electric era of the Japanese manufacturer.

In an interview with Autocar, CEO of Honda Toshihiro Mibe said that the company is developing a sports car that will be the leader of electrification and a key part of the 0 Series, which will appear on the market in the next two years.
