A aggressive silhouette did not harmonize with the drive unit. As I mentioned in the introduction, the J-VX prototype was equipped with a hybrid drive source consisting of a 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder VTEC gasoline engine and electric motor. Thanks to this, the car needed only about 3.3 liters of gasoline per 100 km and was characterized by a very low emission of carbon dioxide.

Honda J-VX [/13] [14] The J-VX concept was a base for creating another prototype called VV, which after a few modifications, at the end of 1999, was transformed into a production installment of the first generation Honda Honda. However, I believe that many of you will also see many similarities to the CR-Z model, whose silhouette, as well as the technology, seems to be confirmed by the fact that this concept of J-VX inspired the designers creating Honda CR-Z.
