Assman Report post Posted December 28, 2011 that would be really cool if it was the case. More likely because its not a production car (re-bodied old one or even if they also use a prototype) and is on a movie set so they don't have to have any. fcuk headlights. Ironman has nightvision in the suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Report post Posted December 29, 2011 Only 400hp? Why? Why? http://rumors.automobilemag.com/report-new...sion-97469.html Stupid car, stupid company. Honestly, lets call Honda what they are, which is a complete MESS right now. Yes we all know and love their history, but the past few years have been a horror show for them. They fucked up their own new Civic badly enough that a complete overhaul/redesign has already been ordered by brass in just the second year of production due to horrible reviews, their marketshare around the world continues to be eaten away by Pac-Man VAG and overlord Toyota, their "Acura" nonsense brand in the US is a joke in both sales and reputation compared to other luxury brands, and their leadership seems to have no clue what to do to right the ship. They were so great for so long that it's actually hard to absorb just how bad it's gotten by those of us who are old enough to remember their glory years, particularly the late 80s, early 90s. Every product was a winner, the engineering was simple but unrivaled, and they were the model every other car-maker sought to emulate. Soichiro must be turning over in his grave with how things have gone the last decade...sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGallardo Report post Posted December 29, 2011 Only 400hp? Why? Why? http://rumors.automobilemag.com/report-new...sion-97469.html 0-60 in under 5 seconds?!!!! Stop the presses. And the best part is, it's a hybrid!!! How did they go from the original NSX (which was one of the best sports cars I've ever owned) to this POS?

How did they go from the original NSX (which was one of the best sports cars I've ever owned) to this POS? It does suck. I wanted this car to be the next one I bought. I was hoping it would be to the exotic car market what the original was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi0npsi Report post Posted December 30, 2011 I have a '91 NSX with 300,000 miles that runs/drives like a champ. Gotta love Honda. The original was/is my dream car and I'm hoping the new car isn't a total disappointment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assman Report post Posted January 9, 2012 Powered by a direct-injection VTEC V-6 engine paired with a Sport Hybrid drive system that uses a pair of electric motors at the front combined with a Bilateral Torque Adjustable Control System and a dual-clutch gearbox-mounted electric motor, the NSX's mid-engine, SH-AWD all-wheel-drive layout is borderline supercar territory in specification, not far off Porsche's 918 Spyder. In fact, Acura is calling the NSX Concept a supercar, though in modern parlance, it's likely a few hundred horsepower short of the appellation. Acura hasn't revealed the car's weight, power, or other specifications, but does says that "While most super cars opt for brute force delivered from a large engine, the NSX Concept champions the true racing philosophy of an extremely favorable power-to-weight ratio. Like the first NSX, we will again express high performance through engineering efficiency." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Report post Posted January 9, 2012 The only part of today's press conference that matters about this car: "Three years away from production." :lol2: By the time it arrives, you either won't care, or it will have changed so dramatically that it hardly resembles anything they talked about today. A pure attention grab, nothing else. Not worth our time to even consider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Report post Posted January 9, 2012 Yeah, they are saying 2015 release but like my friend said: It will be released 2 years before never. The worst part is that even when (if) this car ever arrives down the road, I'd bet real money that a 04/05 F430 or Gallardo will still likely be a more compelling, more fulfilling, and equally performing car at that point...for less money.
