Looks alright.. very much like the LF-A

apparently Honda are trying to make it faster than the GT-R and LF-A

There is talk that this car is too small for a V10 and is actually a 8 or a 6 sub-NSX sports coupe.. but i think the car looks big enough.

I think the next NSX should be MR and not FR so this is disappointing to me.. looks like the upcoming V10 R8 will be my dream car

aww man automatic.. what's going on?! people are getting old.. -_-

[tinkerbell]

these new full electronic (eg. R35 GTR) autos are faster, better, smarter and more fuel efficent...

so why not?

yeah with an 8spd you are always so high up on the power curve.. close gears makes a big difference!

I've been in a F430 with its F1 paddle gearbox and its bloody awesome.. blips when down shifting for you... changes gears very quickly... you leave both hands on the steering wheel which helps you into corners.

Does the new NSX have this form of shifting? Or just auto?

because clutch & stick is ftw

[-Ad-]

I will give the new nsx the benefit of the doubt that it will have pedel shifters. for the price range it will be in, i dont see why they would skimp on it. The current model legend has it *sighh*

If its the same old boring auto as the other passenger cars, then that is FTL...

*waits for spec sheet in future*

mm does look a lot like the lf-a. hope that honda make this thing good. they need a good new sports car. badly.

Clutch and stick is def ftw in terms of fun.

But all supercars these days are chasing time and going auto is where they cut down some of that time.

Agreed! For people like me who drive on the road etc.. 1 tenths of a sec isn't crucial. I'll take driver involvement, thanks.
