The FCX (Fuel Cell Experimental) is a next-generation four-door sedan powered by Honda’s original FC unit, a new type of drive unit that may one day replace gasoline engines.

Концепт впервые показан на 33-ем Токийском автосалоне в 1999 году.

Exhibited at the 2000 Chicago show, the FCX (Fuel Cell Experimental) was Honda’s idea for a future Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV). Extremely slim and compact, with a short nose for maneuverability and large forward-mounted cabin, the FCX was designed based on a Twin Solid concept, whereby the floor and cockpit are separate entities with distinct roles. Environment-friendly, the experimental power plant ran on methanol. By extracting hydrogen from methanol and combining it with oxygen to create a chemical reaction, the FCX was able to generate electricity and thus drive a motor.

Этот седан решен в характерном стиле "cab-forward", главная изюминка - двигатель работающий на метаноле. Среди технических новшеств, характерных для подобных автомобилей будущего: система распознавания владельца по отпечатку пальцев, установленная на руле, ключ зажигания в виде электронной карточки и видеокамеры заменяющие зеркала заднего вида
