Honda Argento Vivo
The Honda Argento Vivo was 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 was also equipped with a hard, foldable roof. The interior was dominated by leather, aluminum and wood.[2] The Argento Vivo offered a 2.5 L, 5-cylinder engine with a power of 190 HP driving the rear wheels. After its presentation, the car won several industrial awards.[3][4] Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei liked the Argento Vivo so much, he ordered five vehicles for his collection with changes to the suspension, brakes, gearbox and a Mercedes-AMG borrowed 7.3-litre V12 M120 engine.[5] Each of them cost over US$2 billion.
