it's just a concept now. We got see it later one, but the photos of it are nice. The front does kind of like a Corvette.

This is the official word on the street, but I would not be surprised if they just claim that it is dead while slowly working on it under the table. This is what Toyota did with the LF-A - they "officially claimed that it was dead and then a month later admitted that they were still working on it, but just at a much slower pace. I would just find it hard to believe that Honda is willing to be so one upped by all of the other major Japanese manufacturers.

Interesting update on this NSX. Will have a supercharged 2.4L V6 as opposed to the 3.0 or 3.2 putting out somewhere between 360-380 HP. Sounds interesting....

The car have some impressive power and performance, but when it comes to look, it's really ugly. Yes, you are right Gungriffin, it's very interseting about the power.

more dreamers

you can get 360hp out of an NSX today with a SC, I/H/E

no point in making a smaller engine do the same thing
if anything, they would TT a smaller engine and get ALOT more HP outta it
hope IF IF IF IF IF they ever make another its NA and mid engine
