We previously reported on Japanese automaker Honda's ambitious project to bring the legendary Pokémon Koraidon, the cover legendary from Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, into the real world. Dubbed the "Honda Koraidon Project," this endeavor first showcased a physical model in March, sparking wild speculation among fans about its future.
Today (August 3rd), the moment arrived! The fully realized vehicle officially hit the track at the "2025 FIM World Endurance Championship Suzuka 8 Hours" held at Japan's Suzuka Circuit, captivating onlookers and igniting a frenzy online.
▼ It even became a trending topic on X! 
The "Honda Koraidon Project" focuses on Koraidon's "Sprinting Build" (しっそうけいたい), its rideable form. Approximately 40 passionate volunteers from Honda's Motorcycle Business Unit, Power Products Business Unit, and Advanced Technology Research Institute collaborated on this exciting venture.
This "Koraidon Future Vehicle" was first unveiled in March, but back then it was just a static display—no riding, no movement. Now, after an upgrade, it can cruise on flat ground at speeds of about 10-15 km/h! Its appearance is almost identical to the in-game design, with real wheels cleverly hidden within its "float sac" tires, and even its four limbs move as it goes!
Seeing it actually move on the track, even if not at breakneck speed, has blown many away, showcasing an incredible spirit of experimentation. Many are now eagerly anticipating further evolution and improved practicality.
Netizens have showered the project with praise, especially for the moving limbs and head, which truly capture the essence of Koraidon running.
Another video offers a look at the unveiling and its subsequent run – seriously cool! XD
This has also led to calls from netizens for Toyota to step up its game with its previously announced "Toyota Miraidon Project." Time for them to show off their automotive prowess!
It's a fantastic display of experimental spirit from Japanese automakers. While practicality might not be its strong suit yet, the hype factor is definitely there. We can only hope this "Koraidon Future Vehicle" continues to evolve with even more speed and accuracy in the future!
