hope this is true nice super car if it goes in that direction

[mnewxcv]

wow v10. wonder if honda can make it as well as a v6. to be honest though, ive liked the fact that the nsx didnt look like any other acura.

[[XC] leviathan18]

honda know a lot about v10 they have nice f1 engines.... the only thing i dont like is the front engine.... middle engine with awd should be better better weight distribution

yeah, especially with a 10 cylinder engine. it doesnt look so much like a race car either.

[K.I.T.T.]

Wasnt the NSX going to be discontinued?

[[XC] leviathan18]

yes the actual one but this year they said they will make a new one for 2009 and with a v10 engine and all aluminium body and engine and AWD

[Slayer2k3]

If anything, IF, this is produced, it will be to enter the car in competitions such as JGTC, and various endurance classes.

Anyone remember the cost of the NSX before they killed the lineup? Just over $110K delivered I believe. new chassis design, and V10 power.....can you say $160-200k? I can.

Yeah IMO it was extremely over priced for what it was before...

[mikenam]

i think it was overpriced but being hand built justified the price a little. or was it the type r nsx in japan? oh well nsx nice anywayz.

[THE JEW (RaVeN)]

Best thing they've done with the NSX in a long time.

[aug1516]

I will be cool to see the new NSX when it's done, especially if it looks anything like those sketches. I really like mid-engine mounting though so it kind of sucks that they are giving that up.

yeah, but a v10 mid engine isnt exactly easy to do.

If you are designing the car from scratch it shouldn't be that difficult, should it?

[Coroner Kyle]

They can just as easily do a front midship mount for the V-10. Check out cars that are front engine that have 50/50 weight distribution like BMW's, etc. and with AWD and suspension tuning weight distribution can be dealt with.

[Slayer2k3]

I just hope that with this car, in 5 years, you won't be able to pick one up for 1/4 it's market value.

[aug1516]

Have the current NSX prices dropped that much in value? I don't see very many of them so I just assumed they were still quite rare and expensive.

Most mid and rear engine (porsche) stuff has ~40% front and 60% rear(or 45:55), not 50:50 :)

[Xassius]

I liked the look of this concept better

[[XC] leviathan18]

ive been reading and it seems this car the one in the video is a sub-nsx something to compete perhaps the new GTR or SUPRA or RX-7

[Delirious]

500hp v10, paddle shift, and awd, sounds very promiseing.

[sabrewolf732]

the old nsx msrp was like $70k o.O

[breakfromyou]

I liked the look of this concept better

looks too much like an enzo

[Andrew LB]

Is this a joke or something? Front engine? "traditional styling"??? WTF???

Honda has gone :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: 's

Its already been done. Its called the Ferrari Enzo.

Uh that resembles a lot more of a McLaren F1 than a Ferarri...but I can see where you are getting that from the headlights.

[Andrew LB]

The overall shape of that design is very much Enzo. Both front and rear.

[BSill]

yeah, but a v10 mid engine isnt exactly easy to do.

isnt exactly easy to do, I think honda could pull it off. Alot of supercars have v-10 even mr v-12 espirit, modena, stradale, f40 f50 enzo, lambos, pagani

[[XC] leviathan18]

they have experience in F1 v10

[G H Z]

That concept is cool! Way better than the sketched version.

There's a blue one, for sale near here, for $22,7 i believe. I'll have a look this weekend see if it's still there and the details of it. Looked really good shape when I saw it though.

[naughty_guy]

thanks for the link!

[ludeboy12]

oh nice find. I havnt been paying attention and didnt even realize they were gonna make a new one in 09. I'm soo excited now.

cant wait to see the concept in 07.

[Stuperman]

Well, the one in the video had wheels that were so big they looked comical, and it looks like it shoudl be the next CL, not NSX. I have always like the NSX, I think it has aged very gracefully, and still looks good. Either way it will be too expensive for me.

[Eclipsed]

yeah, doesn't look wild enought to be an nsx. But props on the v10!

[luf1c3r]

I find this car impresonante, he reminds me a lot to the enzo ferrari.
