Almost the exact proportions of the Emira. Kind of shocking actually. The Emira twin also appears to be in Nimbus.

There's something off about this. Where the windscreen meets the bonnet (hood) is suspiciously wobbly. And the location of the A-pillar would suggest the front windscreen is massive. I could be wrong...

It's probably electric, which would explain the tiny hood. The size difference between the front and rear wheels is comical. The proportions are just odd. The Japanese automakers just don't have a knack for getting proportions like this right, which is odd because they have an exceptionally well-developed art culture.

I think this is some kind of mis-information. Honda does not just leave a car like this sitting in a window in an office. I'd say it is someone's early April Fools joke.

It was actually designed before the Emira:

Now, not only we get a slower Evora but not an original design. Jesucristo!

They've updated the original article today to acknowledge it was a previous design concept.

The windscreen and roof are a single glasshouse canopy design, with a visible "skeleton" A-pillar inside.
