The Honda Argento Vivo is a concept car designed by Davide Arcangeli at Pininfarina studio under the Honda brand. It was presented at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show.[1]
The very low silhouette of the car was finished with a front strip with narrow headlights, and the car body was made of aluminum and fiberglass. The car is also equipped with a hard, foldable roof. The interior is dominated by leather, aluminum and wood.[2]
