TOKYO: A prototype of the Honda 0 SUV has made its global public debut today driven by Formula 1 superstar driver Max Verstappen at the Red Bull Showrun x Powered by Honda event in Tokyo, Japan.
First seen at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the all-electric SUV, part of the Honda 0 Series, is expected to begin production at the Honda EV Hub in Ohio in 2026.
F1 stars Yuki Tsunoda from Red Bull Racing, and Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar from Racing Bulls also participated in the street demonstration drive event.
Honda and Red Bull Racing have achieved over 63 F1 victories, four consecutive Drivers' World Championships for Max Verstappen (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and two Constructors' World Championships (2022, 2023).
The Honda 0 SUV participated in the demonstration drive wearing a specially designed wrap featuring geometric lines and reflections of light, a visual representation of the company's new approach to EV development – "Thin, Light, and Wise".
The all-electric SUV was showcased alongside Red Bull Racing Honda F1 machines, including the "RB16B" and an "RB7" featuring Racing Bulls' new 2025 livery design.
Also joining the street demonstration drive was the first race-winning Honda F1 car, the historic V12-powered Honda RA272, which earned victory at the 1965 Mexico Grand Prix 60 years ago, as the first race car from a Japanese automaker to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix.
