The V8 sounds nice and that's what the RL shoulda had in the first place. But the hood scoop, wheels, bodykit, and the seats looks cheesy for a luxury car IMO.

I am not feeling the color, but the integrated exhaust and rims look great.

Anyone notice the driving lights on without the headlights!

this is definately racing inspired. I'm sure you won't see any Acura Luxo-Barge Sedans screaming up to 9,500 when an old guy is passing somebody up on the street .

but in reality, this is more than we could have expected (unless some of you were thinking Indy V8 all the way ). Good job Mugen, and let's see what Honda does with it.

I kept looking around and it's right there in that cutout pic. I don't know where they got it, hopefully it's one we'll see in the near future, though.

500hp V8...damn!

Welcome to the internet. When you go to a site, it and it's images are stored in your browers cache. Even if the pic isn't available directly, your comp will still show it as it can recall it from memory. However, for those who haven't visteted the site - they will not see the pics as the site doesn't allow remote linking.

That's what it is. Too bad Honda will never make a car like it tho. I can't believe how good this one looks and how it's exactly the opposite for the USDM RL.

That's why I made the mistake!



But, with Japan removing the HP limit, I think the possibility of a V8 car with some HP is definitely possible soon? Call me an optimist.

Did they? I think that would def make some higher HP cars from Honda possible, even if it's not a V8. Nissan will have a field day tho, lots of their engines are just detuned and they have tons more laying around just begging to be put in a car.

Sure did! I'm also hoping that with that HP-limit ban lifted that the Japanese will finally go back into the supercar league. Maybe a V8/V12 NSX-related vehicle will come out of Japan one day to at least challenge the Italians...

I don't care if it's functional it doesn't look right on a luxury performance car. You don't see AMG, Renntech, or Brabus putting hood scoops on E55's, S55's or the BMW M5 using hood scoops. Hood scoops is for cars like STI, EVO, GTO, Mustang, etc.
