The NM4 Vultus was developed under the keywords of “Neo-futuristic” and “COOL”, and was launched in April 2014. The ideal fit between the concept and styling of the NM4 Vultus and the worldview of the film led to the provision of the vehicle for filming. The vehicle in the film was based on design sketches provided by Honda, finessed by the film production team, and subsequently placed in the film as the bike ridden by the lead character. The vehicle helps to make the futuristic world depicted in the film more realistic.
The film will be released in more than 50 countries and territories around the world on March 31.
