The sizzle in the Steak
a single diagram of what appears to be the 2010 acura nsx has found its way onto the web, offering the first ever glimpse at how the finished car will look. The new nsx, which has been delayed repeatedly, is expected to incorporate a front-mounted, 550 hp v10 engine and a new high-performance, rear-wheel-drive based version of acura’s ‘super handling all-wheel drive’ (sh-awd). A similar rwd/awd system is also expected for the 2011 acura rl.
In step with today’s consumption-conscious society, the car is rumored to get a cylinder deactivation system, called variable cylinder management (vcm), which would allow it to run on one bank of cylinders during low-load conditions.
Honda showed its advanced sports car concept at the 2007 detroit auto show, a preview of the next-generation nsx, but failed to deliver a production version — as honda said it would — at the 2007 tokyo show.
According to dick colliver, executive vice president of american honda motor co., the delay has been because designers couldn’t agree on the nsx’s styling. “all of the designers are working together on the nsx, but they can’t agree on the styling,” he said in january this year.
American honda president and ceo tetsuo iwamura recently confirmed the nsx will be launched in the u.s. In 2010. Honda will also be launching the acura brand in japan and europe around the same time, but the automaker says it will launch the nsx in the u.s. Market first.

Looks like a stretched CR-Z concept.Sure doesn't come even close to looking like a supercar.
I see no sex on wheels here.

I don't see why this thread needs to be separate from the existing NSX thread. 
Sorry...merged!

Are the people who thought the power plenum grille would work the same ones behind the next NSX project? Cause it seems like it.

God. IMHO, they shouldn't even call it an NSX.
NSX = Mid Engine RWD car.
This is a completely different car altogether. Just name it the VSX or ZSX or something else...

Luca Di Montezemolo, Ferrari's owner, say that their aim is not more beatiful cars but max "aerodinamical efficency"...
Maybe Honda too...
Look at the new California, or the 599 (I don't know, looking at the 599 on the street I think is one of the most beatiful cars on the world, and how it sounds, my God!).

And who cares where the engine is if it kicks its predecessors ass.

But in terms of ingenuity and creativity, no. And I think that's the standard most people are holding the new NSX up to, not the fact that its 10-cylinder will no doubt be faster than the outoging 6-cylinder.
Frankly this car looks nothing like an exotic. And while the profile may say GT, the design (from what we can see so far) is very uninspired.

In terms of performance it may do so.

The GT-R may be a great supercar, but say that is inspired....
It looks menacing but not inspired at all.
the same thing for the last Ferraris, the same owner Montezemolo said we look for the best performance/aerodynamical issues than to pure beautiful design as before...

JDM Laser Fogs!
That frame should be rebadged as the next gen CL. I like the look, pending a few minor changes, but it just doesn't scream exotic supercar blah blah blah... and the price... YIKES!
