A car made for those who love spending the night having fun at different parties and clubs, maintaining the lively atmosphere even when traveling from one club to another. This was the Honda Fuya Joa conceptual model presented by the Japanese car manufacturer in 1999.
The prototype, whose name means something like “city without sleep” in free translation, was inspired by the nocturnal universe. With a different look, straight out of an 80s movie, he has emerged as one of the Honda attractions at the Tokyo Motor Show that year.
The manufacturer’s idea was to create a car with a cabin that could transform into a dance floor, allowing occupants to continue the excitement after leaving a party. For this purpose it is equipped with a flat floor, made of non-slip and liquid-resistant material.
Already the roof of the Honda Fuya-Jo was 2 m high, so that passengers could fit inside the vehicle without any difficulty, unless they were taller. This gave the car a futuristic and bizarre appearance, which attracted attention wherever it went.
The party can’t stop
The prototype’s four benches were also developed to maintain the festive atmosphere. With a similar appearance to the models used in nightclubs, they were high and low, with black and white upholstery, as well as an integrated seat belt.
Since its purpose was to be a good “party machine”, music could not be missing. To ensure the excitement of passengers, the Honda Fuya-Jo had a powerful audio system DThere are several speakers scattered throughout the interior, such as on the doors and front panel. The steering wheel was shaped like a vinyl record and was accompanied by a mixing table, similar to those used by DJs, giving the driver the ability to control the playlist.
As for the mechanical part, the party car was equipped with it a small 995cc petrol engine, capable of reaching up to 129 HP at 5,700 rpm, associated with an automatic gearbox. Also noteworthy is the concept’s low weight, equal to just 840 kg.
No production
The strange and futuristic looking car, presented by the automaker as a car that induced “the same kind of experience as riding a skateboard or rollerblades, or dancing in a disco”, thanks to its low profile, was not produced. Apparently, it was just a version to present at events.
Although it didn’t hit the streets, the Honda Fuya-Jo continued to be displayed by the automaker at auto shows and other shows around the world until 2002, when it left the scene.
