Honda e goes full thicc boi with touring car widebody kit

by Jo Borrás

The guys at UK-based Old School Engineering have been working on their touring car-inspired, carbon fiber, widebody Honda e hot hatch for months.

Earlier today, they finally released these pictures of the finished product. Meet the Red Bull Racing Honda e – will this be the car that sets off a second wave of tuner Hondas?

Old School Engineering is a UK shop known for delivering high-quality product to demanding customers.

Their portfolio of project cars includes everything from tasteful restorations of classic Jagaur E-Types to faithful recreations of Rad-era rally cars to squeaky clean restomods.

As such, when it was announced that they’d be working with the Innovative Composites guys to build out a Honda e project car back in November, you just knew the build would be worth following.

After several weeks, the first pictures were posted on Innovative Composites’ Instagram page, showing the widened, lowered, Honda e in a starkly lit garage, looking for all the world like it was ready to take on the Toyotas and Audis at the next Monte Carlo Rally.

Don’t take my word for that, though – you can check it out for yourself. Tell me that doesn’t look like the angry love child of a Rover Metro 6R4 and a ’75 CVCC Civic!

Those unfinished pictures were enough, on their own, to get the automotive world excited about the build – and it’s not hard to see why – but the finished product, with deep blue metallic paint and Formula 1 inspired Red Bull Racing livery is on another level, entirely.
