With flames up the side, the new Honda van makes tracks in more ways than one - there's a complete recording studio fitted in the rear!

Based on a Honda Element, the Studio E will be unveiled at next month's Detroit Motor Show. The four-wheel-drive car has a 200bhp 2.4-litre i-VTEC en-gine, six-speed manual gearbox and fully independent suspension - but it's what's in the cabin that makes the Studio E so exciting. There's a PC with a 17-inch LCD screen, featuring three plug-ins for musical instruments, which is hooked up to turntables and a mixing desk. Occupants can then relax by watching DVDs on a 42-inch plasma screen that folds down from the roof.

Honda's other Detroit concept car is the new Accord, which will be badged Accura - the firm's US luxury brand - in America.

 

Nice sarcasm. I hope....if you are serious then...well....then...sigh....

I saw this on Temple of VTEC....I don't remember the audio input stuff...

I'll start it off....the Element fills a market. Don't make it a PT Cruiser....

 

so that's the one my friend worked on.....it was completed in So. Cal. and of course, they ran behind schedule. I didnt even know what it was he was working on. They held him to a confidientiality clause. I think it looks kind of "dorky cool". the TV is a real plasma and has a decent stereo set up in it. It did take a while to finish. I think it is a one off, and all the racks and gear where custom made for the car.
