On looks I give it a one in the scale of 1 to 10, definately a step back in design.. for sure not my cup of tea. There is a video already circulating of the NSX at Nurburgring with a yellow Twin turbo Porsche chasing it. Performance wise I am sure it will be a great car but the looks is just a turn off.

Also, lets wait for a price, the last NSX were in the high 80' or low 90's, how much would this be????

front engine? awd?

Where is Ayrton Senna when you need him?



7:30 around Nurburgring isn't going to cut it anymore, the GTR Spec-V just did it in 7:25.

Heh, j/k that will still be ***** out, super fast, wtf am I talking about?

The more I look at it, the more I think "riced out 612 Scaglietti"

Relax guys it's just an artist rendition. I guarantee it won't look like that, at least I hope...

I'm not a huge fan of the looks either. The front just reminds me of too many other cars. The V-10 engine pulled from Toyota's race program is definitely a step in the right direction, but I wish it would have been a mid-engine configuration. A front mount NSX just doesn't seem right.

Also, 7:30 is pretty optomistic. I hope they can pull it off - that would top the GTR V-spec's recent run, I believe.

GTR V-Spec ran an astounding 7:25

the old nsx's were not built for straighline blistering speeds, the nsx was/is and outstanding car for handling for obvisous reasons..

the new is ugly, the old are beautiful cars...

i would have to say GTR over this car though which is hard, I have always loved the nsx!

Having advanced AWD + a V10 motor with Honda reliability sounds sweet! You would think they could at least make it look pretty! Bleh
