< NSX successor >
We are now focused on the development of a new model to succeed the NSX for a new era. We would like to debut a new super sports car equipped with a V10 engine in 3 to 4 years. Please look forward to seeing the NSX successor.

It will probably be based on the outgoing F1 V10 which is a 3Liter... so mebbe bigger motor for reliability (~4L sounds good).

And they'll again rev the snot out of it and make no torque and have it transversely mounted since Honda always thinks their way is best. But 3-4 years?? I'm afraid what the used market for the current NSX will be like in a year from now... suck, I wanted one as a summer daily.

Hey! Above isn't an engine! It's a chassis!

Yeah, give it a displacement boost and kick down the rev limiter (So the engine lasts more than a day at the race track) Keep it light and you have a poor man's Enzo.

I was thinking the same thing. Are they allergic to V8s or something? I would think it would make a whole lot more sense for them to develop an S/Cd, turboed, or stout NA V8 for the next-gen NSX, and then de-tune it and use it in a future pickup or something. I mean let's face it - the Ridgeline doesn't really compete in the US truck market, largely because of the weak V6.

Transversely mounted = not an Enzo... or any Italian supercar for that matter. It would just look weird cramming a V10 sideways, but I bet Honda does it and adds SH AWD to it because the nextgen Nissan Skyline GT-R has the same formula.

So once again, Honda makes promises on innovating yet lets others in the market innovate first as with all their stuff.

You seem rather confident that you're right... you even go as far to bash them already... lol.

Serious, ASSuming stuff that's 3 years from delivery. The engine orientation might not have even been decided yet.

Some of you honda haters go to crazy lengths to badmouth honda. Molested by a honda as a kid or something.

Short stroke, high revving V10. Sounds pretty cool. Wonder if the V10 option will add $20,000 to the price tag.
