AN (Automobile News edition 8/18/03) is reporting the following next-gen NSX news:
The NSX will be restyled and re-engineered for the 2005 model year (OCT-NOV 2004 intro). The NSX likely will receive a larger displacement engine, lighter chassis components and possibly aluminum body panels. A hybrid version - as hinted in the 2001 Dual Note concept car - has been shelved.
This has to be good news for NSX enthusiasts world-wide who have waited very patiently for an engine upgrade for almost 10 years. The current NSX has the looks, handling, mid-engine balance, exclusivity and price tag to compete with Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche. It only needs an engine upgrade and some re-freshed styling (ala 993-996) to be competitive once again. This 2005 NSX can challenge the Gallardo, next Modena, 997, C6 if it places the right powerplant in the middle chassis.
