2016 Acura NSX Will Be a Twin-Turbo

However fast you thought the next Acura NSX was going to be, increase the velocity of your ideas by 30 percent because in addition to the three electric motors assisting acceleration, two turbos will be added to the power posse.

This means the 2016 Acura NSX, which will begin production in 2015 in Ohio, may be able to compete with the hybrid R36 Nissan GT-R.

Conservative estimates say the 3.5-4.0L powertrain will produce 500 horsepower. We predict 550 if Honda wants the NSX to be competitive. Dry-sump lubrication will keep all that horsepower well-oiled and happy.

The NSX’s longitudinally mounted powertrain will also feature a dual-clutch gearbox with at least seven speeds.

As long as it has been taking this car to enter production, we fear it may need a redesign by the time it hits showrooms.
