Honda will unveil a low-emission, lightweight sports study model at the British International Motor Show next week.

The striking two-seat roadster aims to couple sleek looks with exciting driving dynamics and more efficient engine technology, to give lower exhaust emissions.

The Honda OSM (for Open Study Model), was designed by Honda's R&D facility in Offenbach, Germany. It's the latest example of the young talent being developed within Honda's design studios in Europe–following the Honda Small Hybrid Sports Concept (Geneva 2007) and the Accord Tourer Concept (Frankfurt 2007).

At present, there are no plans for this design study model to enter production, although Honda will gather feedback from customers at the show to guide any future developments.

Sitting on sporty six-spoke alloy wheels, the OSM has a slippery, aerodynamic exterior to minimise drag.

A wide, sloping rear end incorporates a narrow rear light strip, which wraps around the rump of the car.

At the front, a gaping front grille sits between angular headlights that stretch from nose of the bonnet to the top of the wheel arches.
