Production time frames for the introduction of the new Acura NSX have been vague, but rumors had been circulating earlier this year that a production-based test mule might was expected to make an appearance at Goodwood last month, but those speculations never became a reality. This week, spy photographers at Nurburgring caught a glimpse of an NSX prototype lapping the ‘Ring in what appeared to be near-production form, reigniting hopes that the hybrid supercar might soon break cover. Unfortunately, events seen today at the track seem to indicate that the NSX might not be quite ready for primetime just yet.
New details about the long awaited return of the Acura NSX emerged today from the Tokyo Motor Show. Honda has announced that thrust for the mid-engined, direct injected, V6 powered hybrid sportscar will aided by the addition of two turbochargers.
Acura had been teasing the NSX prototype up until its first live lap at the Mid-Ohio Indy 200 race on August 4. Now we can see more photos and video from that running debut.
Acura recently shared a photo of the NSX prototype on Twitter ahead of its live laps at Mid-Ohio Indy 200 on August 4. Now the company has posted a seconds-long video of the car in action.
Acura has posted a photo on Twitter of a running NSX prototype on what appears to be a test track. In addition, it announced that the car will take a lap on live television ahead of the Mid-Ohio Indy 200 on Sunday, August 4.
We’ve been patiently awaiting further news about the production of Acura’s new NSX hybrid supercar. Finally, Acura has announced that it will build the NSX at a new Performance Manufacturing Center adjacent to Honda’s Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio.
Here’s a little automotive hotness to get your weekend started right. It’s from the last month’s auto show in Detroit, and it’s the latest iteration of the Acura NSX concept.
Well, it’s not the production NSX we’d been hoping for, but at least this one had an interior. The original NSX Concept was just a body shell, with no real interior to speak of.
Jerry Seinfeld’s love affair with Porsche appears to be at an end, as the funny man is starring in a 60-second TV add for Acura, set to air during the Super Bowl on Sunday. Joining Seinfeld is the new NSX, a slightly perturbed owner, and Jay Leno. And there’s a rocket pack.
We want Acura to build this car. (That was probably clear already, if you’ve read our First Look post or checked in at the Facebook page.) It’s just that simple.
Once again, ladies and gentlemen, we have a Acura NSX future to be excited about. Yes, we’ve been down this path before, with a concept car that was lost in the rubble of the 2008 financial meltdown (and reportedly shut down even before that by execs who felt the last car was a move in the wrong direction), but hope springs eternal here at Cobo, and we want this Greenformance supercar to see the light of day.
We enthusiasts have always secretly wished for another iteration of the fantastic Acura NSX supercar. But while Honda’s new HSV-010 GT fits that bill, it’s not for road-ready consumption. Instead, the HSV (which stands for Honda Sports Velocity) will be competing in Japan’s Super GT championship.
