ASIMO, the humanoid robot designed and developed by Honda, will also be part of the line-up.This Formula One car was the first one to be built by McLaren since the MP4/7A-which contested the 1992 season-to be powered by a Honda engine, known as the RA615H Hybrid.

The car is powered by a 2-litre, 16-valve i-VTEC petrol engine that's mated to the electric motor which derives power from the on-board lithium-ion battery. The petrol unit churns out 141bhp, but the system's combined output is a 196bhp with a generous 306Nm of torque. The transmission is an electronic CVT, which is designed to handle all that torque.

HCIL will also unveil two concept models, Honda Jazz Racing Concept and Project 2&4 powered by RC213V. Though there is no information on Jazz Racing concept, the Project 2&4 is a new performance vehicle concept the company unveiled at 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
