The Honeycoupe resembles an old Porsche RSK and a Dino 206 SP. As its name suggests, it's based on a bee, as bees love honey... It has quite a shiny body too. The front features a metal frame which has two orange lights on the sides, as well as two large headlights above. It has a hood with an interesting design, which is in front of a short and translucent windshield, and two side mirrors that resemble bee antennae. On the sides, it has an aerodynamic feature along with a door handle. In the cockpit with a seat with brown outsides, along with a steering wheel that is normally brown. The rear features a short spoiler with small tips, two taillights, a trunk door with six handles, along with a license plate holder underneath that holds the racer's emblem, which is in between two exhaust pipes.
