I don't mind the vents. What I meant to say was that the concept lighting looked better.

That car looks awful. And it already looks dated big time.

Hi, Audi called... They've been on hold for 8 years.

And acura/Honda still won't drop that stupid beak up front. NO ONE LIKES BEAKS. Their headquarters must be full of bird lovers.

Those wheels posted on the red car look nice, but beyond that, wow.

It has a big single exhaust tip in the back like the P1. It's hard to see in those photos because of the lighting.

Am I missing something? Why is there an H instead of an A on the NSX?

Acura's are only sold in North America.

Elsewhere in the world, it is known as the Honda NSX.

I understand that, but didn't know that the NSX specifically would be marketed as a Honda outside NA.

I am calling the hp right now.
Because they were too lame to give the TLX 300hp even (like why 290?... why not 300hp even???) the NSX will have combined hp of..... 590hp

It should be at 600hp but just for the sake of reverse arrogance, they will keep it a shade under 600hp but above 550hp.....

0-60? 3.2
1/4 mile? 11.5 @ 120
Weight? 3,200

Nurburgerkingring= 7:10

We will see soon enough.... I think Ted Klauss is going to get this right

For a car that cost $150k with turbo, battery, AWD, 3200lbs is not realistic.

P1 is 3100 lbs RWD with probably the lightest material known to men and cost over $1M.....

The GTRs ain't that cheap now. So, the NSX has a lot of market room to penetrate into. It's not just about how well it performs. The pricing will be a huge factor for NSX. Hopefully they will go reasonably low on the price to hype it up from the get go.

The GTR was a huge success in both actual comparison tests and marketing because of its humongous bang for the buck factor when it first came out like 7 years ago.
hahaha, yes, now and future probably more important. But people do look at the past and judge on current and future products, right? Like how Honda in the past had Type R's, Integra's, RSX, 70k annual sales of the TL, etc.

All I'm saying is thatin the past, the NSX wasn't designed to be a bang for the buck performance car like the GT-R. So don't be surprised if the new NSX is again not high on performance/cost ratio. With that said, I'm not saying the price is not important. Obviously if Honda decides to price the car at $300k and the performance is only at a stock Corvette level, then that's no good.

For reference, the R32 GTR was at 4.5 mil yen, and the new GTR is at 9.5 mil yen. The 1992 NSX-R was at 9.7 mil yen (stock NSX was about 15% cheaper I believe). That's not considering inflation.

It's not really backwards if the car is built in the US...

Lol, the original NSX weighed about 3200. Keep dreaming if you think that's what the new NSX will come in at, with way more safety features, electric motors, turbos, cooling equipment, etc etc, that the first gen never had.

Carbon fibre only goes so far.

I only consider the bulging silver part as the beak. Take away that and Im fine with the front end.

I think it was closer to 3000lb for the 1G NSX (1350kg). I think it's the NSX-T that is close to 3200lb with all the stiffening down to the chassis and stuff.

With that said I don't see the 2G NSX being less than 3000lb....
