Honda Insight - 1999
Based on the Honda J-VX concept car unveiled at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show, the Insight was the first production vehicle to feature Honda's Integrated Motor Assist system. In December 1999, the Insight became the first hybrid available in North America, followed seven months later by the Toyota Prius. It featured optimized aerodynamics and a lightweight aluminum structure to maximize fuel efficiency and minimize emissions. In addition to its hybrid drive system, this subcompact 2-seater liftback was small, light and streamlined - with a drag-coefficient of 0,25. At the time of production, it was the most aerodynamic production car extant.
