Why is Tony Stark there?

Nevermind, I see that this was the set of a new superhero movie.

The neo-NSX will reportedly pack the through-the-road all-wheel-drive hybrid drivetrain from the 2001 Honda Dual Note concept, encompassing a 3.5 to 3.7-liter V6 driving the rear wheels and an electric hub motor in each of the front wheels.

Ooh. Do want.

An eagle-eyed reader on the linked page noted it looks like a one-off reskinned original Acura NSX unless Acura decided to use the exact same dashboard in the new one.

Note the window reflection is the same. Both cars also have that unique raised part that runs along the whole top of the dash, which isn't a likely design cue to be copied for the new one.

Not a huge surprise. If they just needed something for exterior shots and to drive around it's much faster, easier, and more reliable to reskin a different car.

Looks fabulous. It won't hit production looking like that and stuff about electric motors is total nonsense.

If I was Honda CEO, I'd commission the HSV-10 the next NSX and laugh at everybody.

Honda doesn't have the balls to make something like that anymore. Needs more Senna.

They were going to make that HSV-10, but nope. le sigh

love the speedster hump look. Nose is wrong though from a composition standpoint if you look at it like a piece of art.

I wouldnt call it a NSX though..

I would call it the Ruffalo!!

I like it, but it probably needs some headlights, and the rear-view mirror isn't able to see out the rear. I'd like to see Acura make it with a twin-turbo V-6 and their SH-AWD system. Of course as light as possible, but the original's all aluminum construction really jacked up insurance costs. The original NSX actually had a really nice interior. It doesn't look all that dated even now.

That is downright beautiful.
--edit--The old NSX's interior holds up very well. What a cool car that was.

Are you serious? I immediately thought the interior was something out of the early 90's.
That steering is ancient and so is the dash. The leather on the doors etc.

Agree. Looks like the interior of my friend's 300ZX.

that's because the interior is something out of the 90s
