The Dualnote comes equipped with the Honda IMA System, a further refinement of our unique Civic Hybrid system. This powerplant combines a 3.5-litre V6 i-VTEC engine with electric motor/generator assist. An additional front-drive motor is added, for a drive package that puts out a walloping 400 horsepower, while at the same time achieving unprecedented fuel economy.

Dualnote’s mid-engine, rear-drive, hybrid 4-wheel drive powerplant also comes equipped with ATTS for smoother, more stable cornering and VSA to suppress side slip. These systems are synchronised to work together, providing 4-wheel independent control that employs each tyre to maximum effect, for a car that delivers the ultimate in starting, stopping, and handling performance.

The instrument panel is designed to deliver only the necessary information when it is needed, for the maximum comfort and driving pleasure. It is divided into three optimally-positioned display units, built around interactive voice recognition technology. The display also notifies the driver of incoming telephone and e-mail messages.

The centre display, located at the bottom of the windshield to minimise driver distraction, incorporates an arrow navigation display to indicate branches in the road ahead, and night vision, which uses an infrared camera to detect pedestrians. The image is then processed and displayed to the driver.
