All these track test inspired features not only enhances the performance of the car but are also made use to endow a very aggressive and mean looks to the car to make it an overall high performance car. Honda Motor claims that when all these features are combined they will offer maximum cooling, enhanced road grip and as a result, the finest road performance.
