YACT: Next gen NSX is gonna be a hybrid?

[boyRacer]

Is that true?...eghk... although i don't see anything bad... but the first one was snubbed because it was tooo slow. The thought of a performance car being a hyrbid is... i dunno. When is it going to debut anyway?

Just remember that "electric Viper killer" car I posted a thread about a long time ago. Electric cars can be very fast... it's just a matter of keeping them charged.

I think the question should be, is there going to be a next gen NSX?

If its hybrid it will be something more like the Dualnote than the Insight

Being hybrid won't make it slow. Think about it. Hybrid cars perform similarly to regular cars using less energy. What if a hybrid car used as much energy as an F-body (everyone's favorite example)?

Correct. An electric motor actually has more potential for power because it's speed is a result of electricity flowing through a coil of wire to turn a shaft, compared to combustion driving a cam... The electric motor will have less of an initial bottleneck in design. The only problems that are presented have to do with traction(speed of motor and hp to the wheels), electricity consumption, and electric motor size...

Of course all these ramblings are from someone who used to work on golf carts and go carts so what do I know?
