Also on display at the Paris Motor Show is the EV-STER EV convertible that Honda showed at the last Tokyo Motor Show. This time Honda provided a little bit of specification; battery max power 58kW or 79ps, top speed (160kph or 100mph), charging time, and even acceleration figure. However, before you get too excited or impressed by the time given, do note that it is for the 0-60kph and not mph. 60kph is approximately 37.5mph. To give you an idea, the 1.3l Honda Jazz/Fit Hybrid with the 100ps IMA engine takes around this time to hit 60kph as well and it's a mid-10 seconds car for the 0-60mph run.
The official Honda press release follows.
HONDA ev-ster
Honda
exhibits the EV-STER, next-generation electric small sports concept model at
the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
Featuring
dynamic and innovative styling and excellent environmental performance, the
EV-STER, an electric rear-wheel-drive two-seater convertible sports car,
suggests a new way to enjoy a sports car that is unique to the electric
vehicles. The adoption of carbon materials throughout the EV-STER made it
possible to reduce the vehicle weight delivering high performance driving and
an extensive range of approximately 160 km.
The
easy-to-operate twin-lever steering system was adopted in the pursuit of the
joy of driving. Moreover, this concept model enables the driver to make
adjustments to many of the vehicle characteristics such as motor output and
suspension settings, to embody the joy of driving to the fullest extent.
The
instrument panel of the EV-STER features a vehicle information display which
provides the driver with an interface that accesses a network display used for
the audio and navigation systems and also for using the internet. The
thoughtfully designed layout of the meters and displays enables the driver to
concentrate on driving and enjoy the comfortable space.
Honda
remains committed to developing sports models beyond the expectations of its
customers and offering exciting and thrilling mobility products.

Here is my takeaway from this.
It is a RWD!!!
It's an electric car so it's easy to put it anywhere they wanted. But they didn't, concidering the FCX Clarity is a FWD.
