The real car isn't quite available yet, there are some review videos on YouTube, it's even too soon for actual driving reviews. I'm on the fence about getting the kit until after I actually see the real cars.

Looks cool, does this kit have a separate hood? And engine??

Interesting, I wasn't aware of the actual car or this kit. Will be following.

The 1:1 is basically a Civic Sport Hybrid with a (very) pretty coupe body. Not much under there worth seeing.

really nice kit to build  the rear light assemblies look like a pain to paint has a lot of masking stickers

[Bugatti Fan]

Nice looking model taking shape of a very nice looking car. 

 Tamiya were certainly quick of the mark collaborating with Honda to get this kit out already.

I was surprised how fast considering the real car isn't released yet
