Honda is set to fully unveil its Super EV Concept at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Shown wearing camouflage driving in the uk, the new concept is billed as a ‘new all-electric urban concept vehicle’, designed to offer a compact option to urban drivers. With its small dimensions, the Super EV could come as a follow-up to Honda’s retro-inspired e city car.

While details are quite limited at present, the Super EV has boxy, upright proportions which could offer greater levels of interior headroom than with a typical city car. Boxy arches continue to retro theme, while the photos also show that the charging port is located on the ‘nose’ of the car for easier access.

A trio of motorcycles will also be appearing at Goodwood with the EV Fun Concept, Urban EV Concept and V3 engine concept all being there for visitors to get up close with.
