Since Honda hp are much more than other company hp. NSX will easily compete with cars having 1000bhp.
I think i have seen Honda's Horse power at Santa Anita Race track a couple of weeks ago. Definitely faster than other horse powers.

Oh yah i forgot Honda's are called Horse Power and Others are called Donkey Power.

I wonder if the NSX will be as fast as an RLX with upgraded tires...

I'd say no, unless NSX also has upgraded tires.

Yes, OK, nice colors etc. But, but, but... looking at the start of the run up the mountain, no SH-AWD will fishtail like that during acceleration on a curve. Not ready yet.

Edit: I noticed a TLX in the video (or was it RLX, or even ILX?). I wonder what category was that in?

Why not? It can purposely be RWD biased, because super car. The front electric motors only put down a fraction of the power the TT V6 does. The car is going for sale in September. It's a little late for them not to have the drivetrain sorted out by now.

In theory this car will have an incredible amount of power immediately off the line.

Take VSA off and gun it, you should be able to overcome the grip of the tires

Nice pics. I guess the road show is in Chicago this weekend. I wonder if anyone popped up the hood (well, any hood), to see whats underneath?

PS. Can someone please ask the Cirque du Acura impresarios when are they bringing their white elephant to Canada? (hope before February LOL).

If the new NSX is going to be "built upon order", I wonder what will happen with these two. Also curious to know what their VIN numbers are

I've always been a huge fan of red interiors, however, for the first time, I very much prefer the black interior on this car, as opposed to the interior shown back in January. Looks great!

The interior carbon fibre pieces are a nice touch. I'm glad Acura decided to do that. I wonder if that will be an option or standard. I don't remember seeing it on the car revealed in January.

Looks good.

Interior looks plain to me... a bit boring. Maybe it'll look better in another color.

It sucks we know so little about this car to the point that we complain about the interior (I agree with your assessment, btw). If the thing had some ridiculous performance numbers (or even good ones), I wouldn't care, but I have little evidence the thing actually moves, so might as well call out the interior.

The car could make a showing in my bedroom or on top of me with 45 slices of bacon.



BUT, no specs? No care.

yeah me too had too much sh*t going on all weekend anyways.

regarding the specs, it's entirely acceptable that the specs have not been finalized and therefore cannot be released - the car is still in development, yeah it's taking a while, hey the LFA was in development for 10 years

That's a poor excuse if you ask me. We already know the new Ford GT hp numbers and that's not due till next year.

Wink

To add to the concerns about specs, and the obvious strategy before announcing any specs to let some drivers compare it to other similar calibre cars... I am concerned about the warranty, or at least what the warranty will be. Resale value may be related to the condition of the battery, and of course what is the deal if it fails half way through its life time.

Yes, it looks nice etc, but there are questions that the more money than brains club may fail to ask.

I think the car looks good (exterior only) for $150k, which is about the same as i8 as far as exterior goes.

It looks good does not mean it looks expensive. So hopefully Acura will keep the price where it should be.

This production car looks real good. Far better than that latest concept NSX with the hideous looking wheels.
