Every so often, a project comes along that challenges everything you know and pushes you into uncharted territory. For me, that project will be the HMC EVO RS—a ground-up supercar concept that combines decades of Honda legacy with modern design and fabrication techniques.
This isn’t just another car build. The HMC EVO RS is an opportunity to explore entirely new skills, embrace cutting-edge technology, and create something that pays tribute to the past while looking toward the future. It’s a journey into the unknown, and I can’t wait to see where it leads.
The Vision: Where Honda’s Legacy Meets Modern Innovation
The HMC EVO RS is a bold attempt to imagine a car for the ultimate Honda enthusiast—a car that blends decades of Honda innovation with modern technology to create something entirely new. It’s inspired by the cars that defined generations—like the CRX, NSX, Civic/Integra Type R, and S2000—while breaking new ground in design, performance, and craftsmanship.
- A Rolling Tribute to Honda History
The HMC EVO RS will incorporate styling cues and actual components from some of Honda’s most iconic vehicles. It’s not just about blending eras—it’s about honoring the innovation, precision, and creativity that have made Honda a cornerstone of automotive culture. - Retro Aesthetics, Modern Engineering
The design will stay true to Honda’s clean, timeless styling but evolve it with sleek aerodynamics, widebody proportions, and modern details. Think retro-inspired aesthetics meeting cutting-edge performance. - A True Supercar Foundation
The HMC EVO RS isn’t just about looking good. It’s being designed to perform, with lightweight materials, advanced aerodynamics, and a focus on driver engagement. Every element of the car will have a purpose, blending form and function into something truly unique. - The name HMC EVO RS says it all
The name speaks to its soul: ‘HMC’ pays homage to Honda Motor Co., while ‘EVO’ captures the Evolution of Honda’s legacy into a modern context. ‘RS’ is a nod to the legendary Type R and Type S performance badges, a mark of Honda’s highest-performance achievements.
A Learning Journey Like No Other
What sets this project apart isn’t just the car itself—it’s the process behind it. The HMC EVO RS is a chance to step into uncharted territory and master new skills, techniques, and technologies along the way.
- Mastering CAD Design
From the initial sketches to fully detailed components, virtually every part of the car will start its life in CAD, and there will be deep dives into learning those techniques. It’s a skill I’m excited to learn, not just for this project, but for the doors it will open in the future. - Integrating AI into Engineering
From analyzing aerodynamics to refining suspension geometry, I’ll be exploring how AI can enhance the design and development process. This isn’t just about building a car—it’s about embracing the tools that will shape the future of engineering. - 3D Printing and Prototyping
Using 3D printing to bring concepts to life, I’ll be prototyping everything from aero components to interior details. It’s a way to test ideas, learn through iteration, and refine the design in ways that were unimaginable just a decade ago. - Fabrication and Manufacturing
The HMC EVO RS will involve hands-on work with materials like carbon fiber, aluminum, and polymers bridging the gap between digital design and physical creation. Every piece of this car will be an opportunity to learn something new.
What Comes Next
Over the coming months, I’ll begin working through every stage of the process—documenting the process the whole way. There will be challenges, setbacks, and breakthroughs, but that’s what makes a project like this so rewarding.
One aspect that makes this project so thrilling is that the visual design; the body’s shape, the lines, the dimensions, hasn’t been decided yet— I don’t even know what the car will look like – it will evolve organically during the design process, starting with a blank slate and limitless possibilities.
The HMC EVO RS embodies everything I love about cars—the thrill of creative problem-solving, the challenge of engineering from scratch, and the rare chance to turn inspiration into something tangible and extraordinary. It isn’t just a car—it’s a journey into the unknown, a celebration of Honda’s legacy, and a bold leap into the future of design and engineering. It’s a project that will push boundaries, spark creativity, and turn ambitious ideas into reality.
As this vision comes to life, I’ll be sharing every step of the process—from the first CAD models to the final roar of the engine. If you share a passion for Honda, design, or the thrill of innovation, stay tuned. This is just the beginning of something extraordinary.
