- Honda has unveiled a Fit race car concept in China alongside an updated version of the model.
- It has a sleek paint scheme, white wheels, a hood scoop, canards, a front lip spoiler and a sporty rear wing.
- Unfortunately, Honda has not provided any details about the race car.
Honda recently launched an updated version of the Fit in China – and it’s adorable. But hidden in the debut photos was something we didn’t expect: a Fit race car concept with all the trimmings.
The race-ready Fit has a lowered stance, white wheels and racing tires with white lettering. It also sports a sleek paint scheme with a hood scoop, canards, a front lip spoiler, new side skirts and a large rear wing. It also appears to have a sports diffuser at the rear.

Honda provides zero details about the concept in its press release, which is a shame. Instead, Honda talks about its new production Fit for the region, which features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable transmission. It is only available in one version and limited to 3,000 copies.
We expect Honda’s race car concept to also feature the same powertrain. The company isn’t saying it, but it looks like Honda mainly gave it a visual makeover rather than a hardcore upgrade.
The Honda Fit was first released in the United States in 2007, four years after its launch in China, and came with a manual transmission. Honda pulled the model, which it calls the Jazz in other markets, from the US in 2020 due to declining sales.
Taking Motor1s: As the Honda Fit continues to find success in other markets, it’s nice to see the automaker still embracing the car’s racy personality. It may not have any powertrain upgrades, but the body kit is sufficient for us. Let’s get racing, guys.
