| 2012 Acura NSX Concept
2012 Detroit Auto Show: Acura NSX Concept
By Josh Jacquot | January 9, 2012
Details on Acura's pending NSX are vague at best, but here's what we know for sure:
It will be powered by a mid-mounted, direct-injected VTEC V6 and two electric motors.
Utilizing "Sport Hybrid" Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive, the NSX's powertrain will individually adjust torque to each front wheel.
A dual-clutch transmission packaged with one of the electric motors will deliver power to the ground.
The car will come to market inside of three years.
Honda Motor Company President and CEO Takanobu Ito said the new NSX will be developed at Honda's research and development facility in Ohio. The car will also be built at a Honda assembly plant in that state.
The NSX production car, should it retain the same dimensions as the prototype, will be slightly smaller in every dimension than an Audi R8. It rides on a 101.3-inch wheelbase.      |

you are all a buncha whiners......you guys cant afford it anyways, so why would they care what you think...
...plus you guys cant complain that they are ruining the name 'nsx', since 98% of the people have never owned one.......if your parents owned one it doesnt count, if your friends owned one it doesnt count......unless you have put serious mileage in an NSX you have no idea what an nsx is
glad honda is putting out something sweet..........................finally! probably going to tear it up too!

The beak actually looks OK on a low, fat car like this.
Ohio plant lol
Everytime i think about the Ohio plant I imagine a sweaty, fat american man wearing safety googles and eating a greasy big mac leaning over my car when it was being built...

I think it doesn't look bad... probably the first time I like Acura's new grill...
Too bad that if I am spending over 150k on a car, I'd probably order the BMW i8...

I wonder why they choose AWD. If they provided a RWD version I'd like it a lot more.
And to those who say "who cares you can't afford it" who cares if you cant afford it or not? We have our opinions and you can take them and fuck off with your sheep excuse.

If GT-R, WRX STi, Evo, Aventador, Veyron, etc had RWD, they wouldn't perform as good as they do.
The benefit of RWD would be weight saving and fun factor if you like drifting or burn-outs. Quote:

Those high-ends exotics aren't profitable. Quite often they build it just so that they can have this "cool factor" about the brand. So that hopefully people will buy their product.
For example, Genesis Coupe may be a nice car, but because Hyundai doesn't make NSX, GT-R, LFA, Ford GT, Viper or ZR1...people might pick different brand for "cool factor"...something Hyundai does NOT have.

I understand that they want to keep costs low but I don't like the idea of this car being made in the USA. I think Honda's flagship should be made in Japan, even if they have to charge a bit more.
