Honda’s future EV will simulate the sound of the iconic models S2000, NSX, and HondaJet!

Driving an electric vehicle (EV) that is too quiet and smooth without any mechanical vibrations may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with an old-school soul.

So, Honda wants to ensure that their EV models to come will have unique driving characteristics and experiences.

During the recent 0 Tech Meeting 2024, Honda demonstrated a simulated driving concept that can mimic the characteristics of the brand’s high-performance iconic models.

Among them are the first generation Honda NSX, the hot hatch Civic Type R, the roadster S2000, the F1 machine, Honda CRX, and not forgetting the HondaJet personal jet!

In addition to displaying instrument panel themes based on the selected vehicles, this Honda e Digital UX Concept system can simulate the engine notes of the aforementioned models.

Fans of the loud VTEC engine roar will definitely not miss the chance to try this feature when it becomes available.

Honda will also use cabin vibration systems to create a driving experience akin to that of internal combustion engine cars.

According to The Drive, aside from the instrument panel themes and engine sound profiles, Honda is also experimenting with offering a more comprehensive experience, including introducing different tuning on the steering wheel, adjusting the pedal mapping, and the suspension system’s height.

Not to be missed, the simulated gear shifting feature using paddle shifters like those found in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N model.
