Honda has axed the NSX

[Throckmorton]

Apparently they're going to build an AWD "sporty model" instead. Probably a coupe version of the TSX or Rwhatever--- hell if I know what their boring FWD-based cars are called. Ask your dental hygenist, she probably knows.

Edit: I just saw that this article is from 2011. But didn't they talk about the NSX more recently? Hmmmm

Honda just showed its latest updated concept on January 15th in Detroit.

It's slated for a 2015 debut.

Those wheels on the URL there are supposedly carbon. Kinda doubt they make their way to the final iteration, who knows. NSX Prime had a member or two at the showing in Detroit and pointed it out.

Been a long time since Honda has made an affordable, sporty car. The Civic SI notwithstanding, as it's still a Civic. The S2000 was like an MX5 with balls. Unfortunately, this doesn't look like it. Emphasis on the affordable part.

I read the title, gasped, and then saw the date in the article. You're here in my city, I will find you, and make you pay.

 

[ballmode]

i think i like the 918 better

I'm gonna guess $99k - $119k.

Honda will likely sell each one at a loss like their original NSX.

Funny, I thought the Eclipse got cancelled.

I guessed it was the new R8, but then saw this was a thread about Hondas.

 

[vshah]

i'm really excited for this. glad to see honda innovating in the powertrain department again.

I see very little resemblance Takenoprisoners.

OP - fail research fail.

Just your soul, cheap eh?

 

[SSSnail]

OMG totally see that now. Gray scale pictures, four wheels, windshield, don't tell me they both have engines?

 

[mafia]

I wish they would have went with the original idea: using the Honda HSV-010 GT

Production version if it existed

3.4L V8 VTEC goodness producing 500hp!!

This was intended as the NSX replacement, but now because of "poor economic conditions" they canned it and are using it only for the SuperGT racing competitions. Sucks that the new NSX will be made in Ohio and will be a hyprid...

 

[ballmode]

I think by the time this does get released it will be slower and more expensive than other cars it was competing against. The hybrid system while nice on paper will probably be more complicated and reviewers will state that honda should have done the Telsa approach or will compare this to a GTR/ZR1/911 money with less performance.

 

[disappoint]

I still say the NSX concept is the sexiest looking car outside of an Aventador. inside of an Aventador, it's too dark to read.

 

[lavaheadache]

I actually see a lot of R8 in it

 

[MagickMan]

OP fails at research, doesn't come back to the thread. lol

i think i like the 918 better

For $1M, I suppose so.

That is an absolutely awful front end. Those headlights....dear God.

Looks good, up until it looks like a few pregnant hippos gave birth on that front end.

If that had a Ferrari logo on it you would think otherwise...
