The New Acura NSX



The new Acura NSX was revealed today at the Detroit Auto Show.  Although details are scarce, the car seems a lot like its father.  It's sleek and sexy, it's got interconnected taillights, and its got a mid-engine setup.


However, this is no normal NSX.  Rather than sporting a meaty V10 like the expensive LFA or a 3.4 liter V8 engine like the previous concept, it will sport a hybrid powerplant.



The engine will be a VTEC V6 with direct injection, and a hybrid drive to send power through its all new Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive System for better handling on corners where torque is needed at slipping wheels.



Although we are all stoked to empty our wallets for this new supercar, it is three years away.  And what is to say that this new concept is any different from Honda's....awesome EV-ster Concept (aside from being a supercar).  Will Acura trash this plan as they did with the previous concept or will they persevere to make this dream a reality?


Only time will tell.  But, I'm just saying...I like this one.
