Honda says it is “reaching out to the enthusiast community” with two new concepts of the 2013 Accord that were built by independent vehicle tuners and which are on display at this week’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
The most impressive of the two models is the 2013 Accord Coupe “Grand Touring” developed by Bisimoto Engineering, which upgraded the stock car’s 3.5-liter V6 with a supercharger system and a boatload of other goods to lift output to 401-horses.
The “Grand Touring” concept was then covered in a matte grey foil wrap with red and black carbon fiber accents and fitted with a body kit and 19-inch rims wrapped around Falken Azenis FK453 245/40ZR-19 tires.
Up next is the 2013 Accord study based on the sedan with the 185hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, and which was designed by DSO Eyewear and MAD Industries.
It is dressed in a ‘White Orchid Pearl’ paint accented by a Matte Blue Metallic Wrap and rides on lowered sports suspension while rolling on 20-inch TSW Mallory Alloy wheels shod in Falken AZENIS FK 453 High Performance tires. The car’s interior was also revamped with new leather surfaces and blue trim accents.
Joining the two concepts at the SEMA show are Honda’s own 2013 Accord Coupe HPF and 2013 Accord equipped with the Honda Genuine Accessory X-Package.
