Is Honda EV-Ster the new S2000?

But while it might hold out hope to Honda fans dreaming of a refocus on its sporty history, it’s probably not going to happen in the real world, because there’s no intention to build it.

The rear-wheel-drive EV-Ster (from the words Electric Vehicle and Roadster) has an unmistakably Honda front grille and a Civic Type-R-esque derriere bookending a lightweight carbon-fibre body.

Following the show stand fashion of the Honda AC-X and Micro Commuter Concept, the EV-STER has twin joystick controls instead of a steering wheel.

The battery pack can be fully recharged in less than three hours with a dedicated 200V charging system, but that time doubles if it’s plugged in to a household socket. Honda says it gets from 0-60km/h in 5 seconds and to a top speed of 160km/h.
