$235K maxed out config with $10K worth of options. Ceramic brakes now standard.

And if 2021 budget passes and you can't get this to land before Dec 31st, add another $23.5K in taxes to the Feds.

So with luxury tax, and some heavy HST in other provinces - this is a 300k Acura OTD.

Better than Lexus with the LF-A I guess? haha

I guess.

Man that LFA gets me going though. The documentary with the one off carbon weaving devices - that’s why the price was what it was.

And Yamaha specifically tuning acoustics. It’s so bespoke.

It’s definitely over engineered (in a good way) and way the fuck overpriced for what it is. Lexus took years after production to sell them all off, which was crazy. Nobody wanted them, and the market right now only exists because it was so limited.

I dunno. This looks more like a Lambo or even C8 ripoff. I think i prefer original.

ftfy

Ah so that's how you came up with your username. I recall back in the day you owning Honda's but it didn't click. I thought maybe you just had a high opinion of yourself.

I actually think I'm the shit as well so it works

[Thaco]

They auctioned the 001 build on mecum for some charity and it went for $1mil

[ExtraSlow]

They came alright

This showed up in my feed today. Doesn’t sound like new news though, I did a quick search and it sounds like the 3rd gen NSX has been in the works for a while now.

From a company that next 2 EV SUVs to be built by GM with explosive LG Chem batteries.

Good thing the NSX sells in such low numbers. A recall on a volume car would be hugely expensive.

Sounds like the GM Bolt recall will be something like $13k per car which is way higher than the average recall cost of $500/car.

A revisit of the new NSX by TST.

Near the end, they discuss the point I've been making: Ferrari and Lambo and a lot of the German cars are in big trouble. If you can no longer differentiate cars based on drivetrain, that will put huge pressure on the upper end. There will be no electric equivalent to the V12 in terms of exclusivity and specialness.

When everybody is fast, nobody is fast.

We kinda see it coming when everyone has arrived at 400HP with cars under $50K even before electrification turned the scene upside down.

Battery tech is probably the next battle ground but none of the manufacturer are good at it. Having fastest output kw at lowest kwh/kg would but the next moonshot.

Not sure why ultracapacitors still not a thing in EVs.

Isn't that what Lambo uses?

Didn't know that. Cool. Also didn't know Tesla has sold Maxwell. May be ultracapacitors are not as crucial as I thought.

[rage2]

Ultracapacitors aren’t a thing because of its low power density. Batteries are heavy enough, ultracapacitors needs to be 10-15x the weight for the same energy storage. They’re only really being used in EVs as a buffer between a low discharge rate battery (less costly to manufacture) to allow for high discharge rates in a vehicle for say, acceleration. I believe Toyota and Honda uses this in their hydrogen vehicles, as fuel cells are notorious for low energy discharge rates.

Tesla Plaid’s impressive continuous power output has shown there’s no need for ultracapacitors in BEVs.
