Honda Retro Electric Car

Inside, the Honda EV-N concept car is minimalistic in its styling approach, but there are some interesting innovations, including switchable seat fabrics and rear seats that fold completely flat.
There's also a battery-powered unicycle that sits in the front passenger door.
From the front, the concept car has an unmistakeable 21st century feel, with extensive use of blue LED lighting in the front headlamps and front grille.
At the back, the roof-hinged rear door of the Honda EV-N opens like a commercial van for maximum load space. But Honda is set to disappoint buyers hoping that the EV-N will become Japan's answer to the Europeans' retro hits, the Fiat 500 and Mini Cooper.
Honda says the EV-N is purely a design study and there are no plans for production, but the maker is edging closer to launching a production version of the world's first hybrid sports coupe, the CR-Z.
