Acura 2+1 concept car is directed at younger buyers who want a unique and striking vehicle which can reflect their personal style. The project was done during Paz’s internship at Honda R&D Americas, where it was professionally modeled with assistance from Honda employees.Acura 2+1 concept car was inspired by the multifaceted trend of “modern baroque-fashion” very elaborate, yet forming an aesthetic whole.
The idea was to show very aggressive styling on the body, but keep it very simple on the top section with a flowing, uninterrupted roof line. The Acura 2+1 concept car’s body is formed from a new family of plastics that are extremely light and even harder than fiberglass. The concept is a creation of designer Leon Paz, and designed to slot in under the replacement NSX in the company’s lineup. It is intended as a “gateway” car for buyers that are interested in the NSX but can’t afford the steep price.
