This is the replacement for the Honda NSX..looks kind of plain compared to the GTR and Lexus LFA

[Eleanor]

SH-AWD & FR?!?!?!?

Booo :thumbsdow

[schocker]

Well hopefully they don't call it the nsx because it is not really following in the footsteps of the prior generation, makes me think that the S2000 is going to end up like this too.

:rofl: :zzz:

terrible

[Neil4Speed]

Hahah I love their "camo" cars - who wouldn't notice that going down the street!

[Tomaz]

Man, i think that would be a great car! As long as they changed the name!

Really? I can't see past the camo.

All I can think is that if the GT-R can kick everyone's ass with FR... FR can't be all that bad. But yes, Acura's SH-AWD combined with MR could have been amazing. I'm very interested to see what it yields with this car in this layout.

[spyce]

looks interesting
are they putting a v10 in that?

[Hakkola]

So it isn't MR, and it isn't shaped at all like the previous NSX...

Why are they even calling it an NSX?

[avow]

:rofl: i hope they dont call it the nsx. like seriously, it destroys the name of a very special car

[Eleanor]

Just realized I said AWD & FR :rofl:

Front Engine AWD NSX :thumbsdow

(That's better)

[bulaian]

^ i was wondering about that... front engine, rear wheel drive and awd :rofl:

and i agree, if they're going to make a AWD with a V10 it should not be called an NSX.... any nsx replacement should be MR

they put the camo on so its harder to see the lines and curves of the car..for example when someone takes a picture of it

Its just that that "camo" looks more like a reverse zebra, rather than the usual black camo I have seen which does a good job at covering the lines as well.

:werd: bring back the original formula.

[Xtrema]

According to VTEC.net, from the size and the fact that it's benchmarking against a Z06, and that the styling look relatively finished, this is not the NSX. But the rumored mid size coupe in the $50-$60K range.

The zebra design makes it even harder to look at in detail...
I have an article from C&D that discusses "camo" in detail. It's pretty interesting to read about what techniques the guy uses to hide details on particular cars. Some crazy crazy designs are used to really throw cameras off.

[Deetz]

I bet that'll be a kick ass car if it comes out. As far as it looks, lines look good, just hard to tell with the design on it to mess people up. For people who say it looks ugly, think again once its painted up nice.

Todays japanese sports car styling reminds me of the early 80s when all sports cars(280zx, rx7, mk3 supra, 924,) looked the same. This looks very much like the lfa.

[eur0]

and thats awesome, i love the style

[mrjay1987]

reminds me of an aston

Interesting! I will have to check that out!

They should just stick a 1990's accord body on it or something, that would definitely throw people off :)

Hm. Acura needs a new performance coupe below the NSX. Maybe it's the new CL-S or a completely new model.

Which ever one it is, it's looking good so far :thumbsup:

It seems to have some elements of ASC concept. It's no doubt that it's an Acura.

Autoblog has a picture of the NSX prototype going hard around the Ring.

Honda's CEO has DEMANDED that the NSX beat the GTR around the 'Ring

SWEET, finally some fighting words from Honda. It's been a long time.

NSX, ZR-1, LF-A, GT-R V-Spec :clap:

[Primer_Drift]

I think they should scrub the NSX moniker for this one, and go with S5000. It's more in keeping with Honda's heritage and the S -series FR designs.
