Honda's latest EV is a right little charmer

IS it possible to engineer a sense of fun? That's what Honda is hoping for with its new, UK-bound Super-N, and it's a claim we've tested by driving a prototype.

It's based on the N-One e that is sold in Japan and has a 29.3kWh battery pack and an e-motor mounted on the front axle. But while the hardware is the same, its software has been tweaked for the Super-N. This unlocks more than the N-One e's 63bhp and 115Nm.

The biggest change, though, is the new Boost mode, which introduces virtual gears and engine noise. Plus Honda has revised the suspension tuning.
