When a brand enters a segment it hasn't previously been in, it needs to proceed cautiously. But it also needs to move with cunning, as its rivals will try to sabotage it in every way possible. And the electrification of the automotive sector has allowed manufacturers to compete fiercely to develop and launch the best battery-powered model. The problem is that each one uses different tools, and that's where the differences lie.
One of the models that best embodies what we've been discussing is the Honda e . It's the Japanese firm's first fully electric model and, fortunately for its creators, it has broken the mold . Perhaps it's due to a retro design that has appealed to everyone, or perhaps it's due to its unparalleled technological capabilities. However, to prevent rivals from overshadowing its success, they've decided to create a special version endorsed by Verstappen …
The Honda e Limited Edition is "sponsored" by Max Verstappen and will be sold throughout Europe...
Before we tell you about the new Honda e, we should mention that its name is "Limited Edition ." Yes, they didn't exactly rack their brains coming up with a name, but it doesn't really need any embellishments. In fact, its main lines haven't changed, although they have included a series of aesthetic improvements . The most striking is the Premium Crystal Red paint that adorns its bodywork, along with the contrasting black accents.
But its creators didn't stop there. They took the opportunity to paint the Honda logo black and integrate exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels, also finished in this color. As for the equipment, they indicate that this version is based on the Advance trim, the most complete in the range. Therefore, it will include features such as a camera-based rearview mirror system, Honda Parking Pilot, and keyless entry and start.
However, if you like this Honda e "Limited Edition," you should act fast. The brand is only producing 50 units for all of Europe , and it's unknown how many will reach each market. In any case, Max Verstappen has been delighted with its appearance and the capabilities of the electric powertrain. According to the official press release, the Formula 1 driver stated that…
“The Honda e Limited Edition is simply delightful” […] “It has a modern look, a compact design, and is fun to drive. It’s a great electric city car.”
Hopefully one will arrive in Spain , although we should also tell you that it won't be cheap...
