The New NSX

[45SET]

Honda has to stop letting American's design cars.

They design the most ugly looking cars.

Those renditions posted by Felix look pretty good to me, Honda should get that guy to design the bodywork.

Every veyron sold is actually a loss for the volkswagen group. Thats why. The Audi R8 is actually a much more appropriate target as it blends super car performance and drama with every day usability, the original premise that the first NSX executed so successfully.

It's also about delivering the same car in a sense that the R35 GTR did for Nissan. The R35 didn't exactly resonate the RB26 drivetrain or carry over the BNR34 chassis, but it has the exactly the same philosophy behind the GT-R name; To design a head kicking warrior whose supreme technological development will allow it to dominate the motoring world. The most recent Perfomance Car of the Year test done by MOTOR magazine proves just that as the GTR creamed the whole crop, which included the SLS amg, V10 R8, 1M, C63 and Cayman R.

So Honda in the same frame of mind has chosen to carry over that philosophy of balance, moderation and technological prowess to deliver a everyday super car within the context of the green modern world. They have avoided the penis measuring contest between manufacturers to see who has the most power, the lowest 0-100 and Nurburgring time (although a quoted lap time is inevitable) and instead integrated the alternative themes that the motoring world is seeing with hybrids and etc. Although i wish it was more a case of NSX-R reborn with boost, downforce and carbon fibre, it isn't. And grown up Honda is something we might just have to accept, heck, we have done it since the DC5R , what makes your complaints now any different?

Great post. I would like to think if Honda can make a good handling car with circa 1300kg weight and around 400hp then there would be a good market for such a car if the price is right. The first generation NSX wasn't exactly a world beater based on pure numbers but still found praise and people to buy it. I'd still rather have a CW NA2R rather than anything else currently available in the same price range .

Agree, it looks nothing like the old NSX. Personally I'd prefer to have the previous model

It's a concept, will they create one?

Personally I think it's beautiful. Looks like the product of a Gallardo and an R8 fling!

The price tag I suspect will be a heart breaker though. Interesting to see how it will fare against it's competition in that price range.
