This collaboration between Honda, Dwango and Hatsune Miku was first announced a while back, but seems to have gone somewhat unnoticed. The theme of this collaboration is called "Let's drive with Hatsune Miku".

Essentially, the project will feature a custom Honda S660 with integrated support for the osoba smartphone app, which allows the driver voice interaction with Miku as she reminds to put on your seatbelt, gives information about the car, such as mileage, fuel levels, reminders for oil changes etc. The custom automobile prototype will be on display at the TOKYO AUTO SALON 2019 on January 11th-13th, 2019.

Presentation of the prototype will be held with talents from many fields, from original illustrations and car-wrapping artwork by Kentaro Yabuki, author of “To Love Ru”, cosplay by Enako, music by Dixie Flatline, to a music video by MakinoSena.
