In-game description[]
- "This ultra-lightweight pure sports car concept was born from the collaboration between Honda and Gran Turismo. The design theme drew inspiration from Honda's first Formula 1 race cars in the 1960s. Its power unit incorporates technologies developed for superbikes. The engine is normally used in the Honda RC213V-S, which is a MotoGP class motorcycle.[1] The car demonstrates the company's ability to compete in all manner of races, be it on two wheels or four."
- ―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central
A new driving experience has been created through a collaboration between the Honda design team and "Gran Turismo". What makes this possible is the "Honda Project 2&4 powered by RC213V".
At the heart of this car, born from a design competition project involving Honda's 2-wheel and 4-wheel divisions, is a V4 engine of a racing motorcycle. This is a new form of fun mobility combining the openness and agility of a motorbike and the dynamic performance of a 4-wheeled vehicle, in which you can truly feel the horizontal G's.
The design concept is "Exposure" and true to its definition the driver feels the sun and wind and is able to drive with an incredible sense of freedom.
The biggest point of interest on the Honda Project 2&4 is the structure, which is a fusion of 2 and 4-wheeled vehicles powered by a motorcycle engine, mounted on an aluminum carbon composite backbone frame.
The compact 999cc V4 engine producing 212 BHP is mounted mid-ship and its combination with the ultra-light 405 kg body achieves an incredible power-to-weight ratio of 1.90 kg/BHP. The rear wheels are driven through a 6-speed DCT controlled with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. If you remove the assistant side body cowling it is also possible to add a passenger seat, making it a two-seater.
We hope you will drive the Honda Project 2&4 in the new world of Gran Turismo Sport and experience driving sensations you've never felt before!

Trivia[]
The unique racing suit used when the player drives the car
- It is powered by Honda's own RC213V-S bike engine, hence the name "powered by RC213V". This also happens with the Suzuki GSX-R/4 and the Caterham Seven Fireblade.
- Driving this car in-game will make the player's driver avatar wear a unique racing suit; this behavior can also be seen on the Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo Coupé.
- Despite the Gran Turismo team being supposedly involved with the car's development, it first appeared in Project CARS 2, right before GT Sport's release. It also reappears in Project CARS 3, suggesting that the car has no exclusivity rights.
- In early versions of GT Sport, the car's transmission type had been incorrectly treated as manual, but it was corrected to automatic in version 1.47. However in GT7, it was reverted to manual again.
Notes[]
- ↑ The RC213V-S mentioned is actually the road-legal replica model.
