The IMAS: a sports car designed to provide that same invigorating cutting-through-the-breeze feeling. The design concept was to combine environmentally friendly performance with fun-to-drive sports car performance in an advanced, lightweight, aerodynamic package. The body is made mainly of super light carbon fibre and aluminium - the overall weight is just 700 kg. A sweeping aerodynamic shape helps achieve a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.20. The efficient power plant is an update of Honda's IMA system. Outstanding aerodynamics, light weight and a green power plant for bicycle- like freedom of movement - that's what the new-age lightweight IMAS sports car is all about. Story by Honda Motor Co, Ltd
