Hey Jeff,
I was just on the phone with a customer talking about Hybrid's and he mentioned something about honda tossing around the idea of a Hybrid powered NSX..... ever heard of such a thing?
On the topic of Hybrids
He [the customer] has a Highlander Hybrid and he mentioned that it has three motors. one gas (208hp/212tq) and two electric motors. One in the front (165hp/247tq.) and one in the rear (67hp/96tq) making it a "4wd" that basically gets the same MPG in 4wd mode as 2wd mode. Also because of the placement of motors there's no rear drive shaft; technically making the truck a FF Hybrid and a RR electric. Cool huh?
sry for the off-topicness

Haven't heard from Jeff (Allout) for a little while...
As to the Hybrid powered replacement for the NSX... Honda has been tossing a lot of different ideas around... besides a bunch of rumors flying. What I've heard is that Honda has looked at FWD, RWD and AWD running a bigger V6 or a V8 or a V10, even a hybrid in the front or midship. It's anyone's guess right now what the final design will be.
But I'm hoping it will be at least a 4.5 - 5.0L V10 mid engine configuration.
