SEMA 2007: Honda Accord Coupe HF-S Concept
Click image for live HF-S Concept gallery from SEMA
Honda's Accord Coupe has barely hit the pavement and we're already seeing what the platform can host in terms of modifications. Today at SEMA Honda showed off a BMW M6-like Accord Coupe HF-S Concept that looks extremely hot (may be those lights) and features a retuned throttle, suspension and exhaust. You can see the full list of upgrades by viewing the placard, but it's basically a carbon fiber and body color aero kit that really makes the shape pop. This particular Accord Coupe was built by Honda Access America, Inc., Honda's U.S. accessory development team, so it is conceivable that you could replicate it for yourself. We would highly recommend it.

PRESS RELEASE:
Honda to Reveal Two Factory-Modified Accord Coupes at SEMA Show
10/23/2007 -TORRANCE, Calif. - American Honda Motor Co., Inc., today announced that two factory-modified versions of the all-new 2008 Accord Coupe will be revealed at the 2007 SEMA show on October 30, 2007. SEMA attendees will see the first showing of the Honda Factory Performance version of the Accord Coupe along with the Accord Coupe HF-S Concept, a specialty concept created by Honda Access America, Inc., Honda's U.S. accessory development team. More details about both vehicles will be released at the SEMA show.
As a dealer installed accessory, Honda's in-house HFP products carry the same 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty as the rest of the vehicle, when installed at the time of new vehicle purchase, and are designed to genuinely enhance the ownership experience. American Honda launched its performance accessory
program in 2002 with the introduction of a Honda Factory Performance package for the Civic EX Coupe.

WHOA! I haven't gotten this excited about a Honda since the Integra Type-R. This is honestly the best SEMA car photo I've seen so far.

I'm not a Honda lover, but I really dig this. I like the two tone paintwork, and the wheels are really nice. The body mods are tasteful. It's sharp.
Don't know whats up with the green light it's under though.

They should seriously give sh-awd to the TL (at least the type-s) I would buy that thing in a second then.

I'm not a Honda fan by any means, but I really like this car. When I see it though, I'm not reminded of the X6 but I am reminded of the Volvo C30.

The car is silver. There's a yellow light shining down on it.

I really wish more manufactures would put a clean sporty look like this car. BMW has always done it well but their priced WAY to high for most people. If honda made this car just as it is showed here, they would break the gap between the 29-38grand price range. This car has very classy lines and is just looks very substantial and tough. I love IT!!!!

interesting design change for honda (good).
then again it looks like the Acura TL (front+headlilghts) got it in the rear from a G37 (c pillar on back)...

That is the most bad ass silver paint I have ever seen. Someone tell me how I can get my hands on some...or something similar from a production vehicle?

Hmmm...very interesting. I believe Honda's new Accord Coupe HF-S Concept will be a tuner crowd favorite.
Interesting, approach by Honda with the new Accord. The Accords haven't been known for it's sportyness. With this design-Accord Coupe HF-S Concept, I believe it has a huge potential and a mass apeal within the tuner environments.
It would be interesting to see Honda's new Accord Coupe HF-S Concept on the tracks along side the Real Time Acura's-sport car racing...
