Honda has taken the covers off a new two-seat concept for a future low-emissions sports car that’s maybe will be the replacement for the aging S2000 roadster. The new concept, dubbed the Open Study Model (OSM), is officially described as a ‘design study’ that promotes Honda’s new green performance image.

For the exterior, the smooth and rounded curves, and unique headlights that stretch from the nose to the top of the wheel arches. While for the interior, the dash is broken into sections, with the most important instruments in direct line-of-sight of the driver. This matches the trim inside the car, with the seats and door innards trimmed in glossy blue leather.

Besides that, a centrally-mounted semi-sequential gearlever is also installed, as is a pair of steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. Integrated into the gearshifter is a red ignition ‘start’ button.
