Honda has just revealed this incredible looking three-wheeled 3R-C concept vehicle at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show.

The principal preocupation of the “>3R-C’s designers was safety, and it shows. The driver sits protected within the vehicle’s frame, and the low center of gravity ensures that the 3R-C is safe to drive. Compact urban vehicles seem to pop-up every few months, promising a convenient, safe, and zero-emission alternative to full-scale vehicles. Honda’s 3R-C keeps up with this trend with a sleek EV that looks like it was plucked out of a comic book.
