Ever wondered how R2D2 will fare as a Transformer?

Honda, though unknowingly, has given us quite a rather impressive answer with its latest concept car, the Honda FC Sport Concept, which, by the way, is currently bannering among the top Yahoo! searches for most popular concept cars. Here, take a look.

R2D2 much, ey?

R2D2 may be best remembered through his trademark high-pitched robotic mumbling, most apparent when communicating with golden buddy C3PO, but it is in this same aspect where the FC Sport Concept tries to turn the table in terms of characterization. The FC Sport Concept can be pictured as “a true no-holds-barred supercar with all the speed, handling and sleek looks of today’s fastest sports cars, yet without the noise, heat, vibration and emissions of the internal-combustion engine.”

Conversely, like cute little R2D2, the FC Sport Concept shows signs of amiability, most especially to the environment and its occupants. This three-seater (with a driver-centered cockpit), according to Honda, is the future of alternative-fuel and zero-emission sports cars since it incorporates hydrogen fuel cell (that’s what the FC stands for) technology. At the same time, the car focuses on giving a fun and comfortable ride, thanks to its adaptable engineering which provides it a low center of gravity. That means an ideal fore/aft weight distribution is highly achievable.

When it comes to performance, though, there are no clear-cut data yet available for the car since it is purely a design model at this point. If this brainchild pushes through, there is great possibility for this car to come down as something historic as Star Wars. That we can only hope for so may the force be with us!
