The Honda OSM (Open Study Model) was a concept car that was revealed at the 2008 London Motor Show.[1] The concept vehicle was designed by Honda's R&D facility in Offenbach, Germany. The lightweight roadster design was to showcase that Honda has the capability of producing a low-emissions car that is sporty and fun to drive. Honda has announced that it has no plan for the car to be released as a production model, despite being speculated by car enthusiasts as a preview for a potential replacement of the aging Honda S2000 convertible.[2][3] It was also speculated that the similar size and design language hinted at a convertible version of the Honda CR-Z, which was then yet to be released.[4]

Design and features

The dashboard design concept was inspired by the Honda civic (eighth generation), more specifically the European hatchback model, and became a consistent design choice for later Honda sedan models in the following years such as the Honda Insight (second generation) in 2010 and Honda Civic (ninth generation) in 2011.
