Honda reveals roofless CR-V roadster concept – but can we believe what we see?
Convertible is a new take on the popular CR-V, as ‘non-existent market’ is identified by Japanese manufacturer…
Honda is looking to take the fight to the off-road convertible segment with this – a special CR-V roadster.
Designed to be a “no-top” rather than a “drop-top”, thanks to the removal of the car’s roof altogether, the CR-V roadster is best suited to completely sunny days – or as Honda puts it, “the two-day British summer which traditionally occurs in May”.
Honda spokesperson Eipurirufūru said: “This is a bold new direction for the CR-V and opens up an entirely new non-existent market.
The roadster has been created by removing both the B and C pillars, which helps give it one smooth sill line free from the constraints of the metal roof. However, the lack of those constraints means that, according to Honda, the car’s structural rigidity has been reduced by approximately 100 per cent – making it “undriveable”.
If you still haven’t tumbled to it yet, we can confirm that this is an early April Fool by the Japanese manufacturer – “Eipurirufūru” is “April Fool” in Japanese.
