Rumors are percolating that both power and price will be higher than previously speculated. Rumors and speculation of course.

Seriously... its time to this bad boy up. If 2015 turns into 2016 then '17, '18, '19, and "we've decided the time isn't right for Honda to produce a super car" will be inevitable. Maybe after seeing the FT-1 they just said screw it and gave up.

Rumors are also percolating that the power plenum grille will be bigger than previously speculated.

Can we move this thread to Ramblings? Seems to be more inline with a post whore thread than auto news after 10+ years of development.

All jokes aside. Didn't Honda announce they'll be sharing NSX production plans in New York? Along with showing the production TLX?

No, because we have to have at least one "NSX" thread in this Acura "Automotive News" forum, in case when official news really come up.

Lol ok.. My family is on the list (for right now).. It's coming in 2016. I'll happily place a friendly $100 bet that it comes out in 2016, because it is.

I already have an un-friendly Bitcoin bet with Yummy on whether or not his consciousness gets uploaded into the 2116 Pagani Supersonic flying race car 007.

So I'm all tapped out for bets.

Look, I'll stop snarking and "hating" this car when Honda issues something and something that IS ON PAR OR BETTER THAN EVERYONE...Meanwhile, their competition or rather, FORMER-competition is releasing performance car after performance car...

You only compete if you have something that is worth...competing about...

What do we get? The RLX that can take on an M5 with new tires apparently.

Yea, because that means the car is coming out Hey look, a 4cyl turbo race car. It must mean the real car is coming.


I must have been sleeping when they brought out the 2011 NSX



Remember this one?

All that matters is that it's coming in 2016. Could care less about any of the race cars.

Welllllll...I would level that comment. We are talking about Honda's flagship car.


So, a car that is supposed to be high-performance SHOULD be bred from a racing pedigree. I think you should care.

Yes, yes of course. I know all about the NSX's racing pedigree. (Senna, the use Aluminum, 24 hours of LeMans, Super GT etc..) I believe I worded my statement incorrectly. What I was trying to say is that the racecars have no effect on the release date of the NSX.
I don't care if a racecar version has been around since 2011, the production version is coming in 2016.

You dont get it. Its NOT that the race car has been out since then, Its NOT about if it has an effect on the car. Its that They designed the CAR, Were in final development testing, made the RACECAR, CANCELED the CAR. said they would never make it, then decided to make it. The car has been nothing but Vapor..

What a coincidence.

From http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/01/h...-racing-video/

Improve your weekend with this Honda NSX Concept-GT racing film

By Brandon Turkus

Posted Mar 1st 2014 7:29PM

We still aren't convinced that the new Acura NSX will ever arrive in the US. After years of "concepts" and previews, it all seems like an elaborate tease put on by Honda to mess with journalists and auto enthusiasts. We're so looking forward to being wrong...

What isn't a joke, though, is the NSX Concept-GT, a wildly awesome racer that runs in Japan's extreme Super GT series. As a sort of welcome to the weekend, Honda has some footage of the NSX racer at Japan's Suzuka Circuit. We're really digging the NSX's aesthetic when driven in anger, and the noise it makes isn't too bad, either.


Published on Feb 27, 2014 by Honda

SUPER GTシリーズの2014年シーズン開幕を前に着々と開発が進められるNSX CONCEPT-GTの、開発テストムービーです。



Autoblog and Brandon Turkus are obviously "haters aka 'vapor car lovers'."

Of course. It's because the V10 super car never really got that much marketing. For one, it was never shown in any auto show as far as I know. Honda confirmed that they will be making a V10 super car at the very beginning, but they cancelled the plan pretty early on too. It was nothing like the new NSX where we receive an update every few months. That's probably why you didn't know about this. It's also a lesson to us that unless we see the car at the dealership, nothing is confirmed.

Acura engineers ask us not to focus solely on the specs of the engine, but rather to focus on the performance capabilities of the new NSX. I think with the sport hybrid SH-AWD this NSX is going to be really impressive on the track.

Well my dealer is taking deposits. I am 100% certain on this because my family member of mine put a deposit. I also know 100% that there is a dealer in Boston that is taking deposits. It might only be the high volume dealers that are doing so. My dealer is the largest in TX, and one of the largest in the nation volume wise.
