Im working at the show this week doing audio/video in the acura booth. There will be no Acura/Honda reps on hand till Wed so keep your fingers crossed. I personally was hoping to see the new Nsx there but heard thru the grape vine that is was shipped back to Japan.

The RL prototype features Acura’s new Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive System (SH-AWD) among several other industry-first technologies, according to Acura. The SH-AWD system distributes optimum torque not only between the front and rear wheels but also between the left and right rear wheels. Reports have centered around a 300-hp V6 as the main powerplant.

So far, IMO, I don't see the news verbally talking about that electric motor yet. But, the section right in front of rear differential has the special device could help power direct to the wheels. You may check out that JDM video.
