I might get slated for this but feels like it slips nicely into the gap the TT has left. Oh and there’s no ‘believe’ needed chaps, Honda have announced it’s coming to the UK next year. At a guess the carbon stuff swaps out for black plastic, roof on the top end model gets glass, interior maybe (hopefully) gets the tech from the very recent Accord refresh, slightly warmed up civic hybrid with the chassis / handling bits being closely related to the Type R.

For at least 20 years, Honda has been showing "concepts" that are usually about 98% production intent, with maybe some custom trim bits, but as Richard noted, you can see production car parts everywhere. I'm guessing the windows are blacked out because the interior parts are not final production quality finish and they don't want people seeing that - they will sometimes get early test batches of plastic parts that don't have the final textures or colors on them because the supplier is still finishing up the tooling.

Can anyone explain why the height of the Alpine A290 bonnet/scuttle line is so high ? Just look at how much distance/girth/bodywork there is from the top of the tire to the top of the bonnet - looks just like one of those mini-SUVs that's been 'lowered'... they obviously blacked-out the lower fender arch to hide/mask this visual awkwardness ... I've always understood that the manufacturers have had to do this because of the engines being up front combined with new (ridiculous) EU pedestrian impact 'safety' rules/regs... but there's obviously no engine up front here... so why not lower the bonnet line for improved sight-lines/safety etc ? Why does it have to be so chunky/tall/huge up front like that ? Teslas have a low bonnet/scuttle line - shouldn't this ?

I can accept that it would probably be electric, but that could be the thing to set it apart from the Mustang whilst still delivering on similar performance. Call this one the Capri SUV (if you really must) and give us the true Capri we want. If you really want to make a ballsy move give us the restomod and put a big Cosworth engine in it, don't tell me that wouldn't sell!
