Introducing the Honda Project 2&4 coming to Project CARS 2 this September.

With over 180 cars and 60 different locations confirmed already, plus plenty of post release DLC expected to follow once the game is out in the public domain, Slightly Mad Studios have taken the opportunity to introduce us to one of the more unique motors that will form part of the roster of cars contained within the new title.

"Honda Project 2&4 seeks to create an intense driving experience by combining the most thrilling elements of riding a motorcycle with the most engaging characteristics of driving a car. The result not only showcases the creativity flowing through Honda’s design studios, but also challenges expectations of the future of mobility," Said a statement from Honda on reveal of the design concept.

The 2&4 concept looks to remain exactly that, a concept, however thanks to Slightly Mad Studios a virtual version of the car can be raced on many digital circuits in just a few short weeks time.

I just dont really care too much this is just a prototype u know.

We want Tourist Trophy 2! Also... for Project Cars 2 to not be ridden with bugs when it releases!

SMS are doing their level best to deliver a good experience at release.

That said, I wouldn't expect pC2 to reach "battle tested" levels of maturity on all fronts until after a couple of post-release patches.

Coincidentally, AMS is on patch 1.4.7.2 as of this writing and AC is on, what, patch 1.14 since its August 2016 release?

There is just one reason people are making jokes about this car...it's PCars.

Lets see what would happen this was annouced as a:

AC car: "I don't care, we need more tracks".

RR: "This is amazing! I will pay for that and for the 25 liveries coming together!!"

Oh boy...

And RaceRoom oh boy, if they announce this car now u can expect the release in 2019 "soon",just look at S3 forum with the Audi R8 LMS, they said soon like 2 months ago

That does not look safe at all... Someone please put a Halo on that thing.

Well, they could at least start with a driverside door

 

[Neils on Wheels]

That car is amazingly fun to drive in PCARS 2. You all are going to love it.

I guess its a replacement for the atom?

 

[Boby Kim]

I race such a car in Trackmania

 

[Alphonse Uprising]

chill. it uses their F1 engine. it'll lose power or break before it reach unsafe speeds.

It's not really about the speed... I'm more scared about the lack of a driver door/roll cage XD

 

[Gargos]

For real? If another one of those things T-bones you on the driver side, forget about walking out of that thing under your own power.

 

[Ivan Richard Navarro]

great Project! Thank you to SMS
safety ? ahahah i'm a driver, if i would safety i should dedicate myself to another sport, maybe I would choose radio controlled car and always in the sun.

 

[Philipp Koch]

what the hell is this? o.O

 

[pcraenme]

This 'car' and a Formula X driving more than 400km/h... Hmmmm... is this going to be Gran Turismo for the PC maybe?

 

[Kyle Pearson]

Instant death if you roll that car

That's most convertibles today.. Most convertibles today have no rollover protection from the factory (i.e. the windshield on most cars are not structural).

EDIT: Yes, some of the upper end convertibles do have pop up bars behind the seats, but most of the lower end ones like the Miata do not.

 

[f.1.]

So can it complete a lap? or do we have to wait for upgrades?

Thank you KKDrummer for posting that video in VR no less - a fantastic look at this new model as well as Monaco at night. As an ex-motorcycle road racer, I love the concept! Terrific heads-up display as well - right where you want it.

Can't wait to try it. I'm pre-purchased and anxiously awaiting this new package. I only wish more on this forum would read more about all the new features they have built in this time and stop nit-picking before they have a chance to try it out. It promises to have more entertainment per minute played than ever before.
