Pics (this is the ASC concept, which might give some clues as to what the NSX might look like without camouflage):
Front1
Front2
Estimated price range: $150000...that's well into Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini territory
Personally I think they've done a pretty good job at disguising it as an S2K during testing 😀
I'm not sure how the decision to transform the NSX into a AWD GT will fare in terms of sales. The cars in that price range carry a lot of prestige and heritage, and most of them aren't using the traditional front-engined layouts (except Bentley, Aston, etc). I would have much preferred to see another MR NSX with the newer engine (kind of like an extreme version of the NSX-R that could keep up with Turbo Porsches around the track despite only having 280 HP), as this GT most likely will not measure up to the performance standards of cars like the new Porsche GT2 that's due out later this year. It's not designed to be a pure track car, of course, but prestige, performance, and "street cred" is a selling point for cars in this price range. Acura certainly doesn't have much prestige as far as exotic cars are concerned, so they will have to make up for it elsewhere in order for this car to be a success.
