Honda confirms NSX concept for Detroit - BBC Top Gear

I can't wait to see what it'll look like and what it'll be priced at.

 

Nice! I don't know what car I should buy in the next couple years, lol. Toyoda, Subaru, Honda

 

Price Point for that I would suspect being around the price of the Nissan GT-R since the NSX originally was about a $90,000 car IIRC.

 

Wow I never knew that they were that expensive. At that price point, hopefully it has that rumored 600hp V10

 

another 80-90k Japanese sports car yay! There's plenty of room to fill in between that and the price of an LFA

Perhaps a yacht

 

IMHO more horsepower isn't the key as most car companies are producing more and more power, people are thinking that high horse is equivalent to a good car, it's definitely not the key. Id rather have something light for the block that has ok power but can handle a turn great.

 

As long as it can match the LF-A's performance for 1/4 the price, that would be an awesome retirement present to myself

 

agreed but man all this hype speculation about what the new incarnation of what the NSX might be is worse than the speculation of the iphone 5

I would have been happy if honda said "hey guys we're re-releasing the NSX the same as it was when it was discontinued, the only new features is a blu-tooth and navi, enjoy"

The last NSX was perfect and didn't need to change at all.

 

From what I've heard, it's going to be a V6 with electric motors. it will also have Honda's SH-AWD system too.

you are correct. Base was $86,000 the last year they were in production which was i think 2006? not 100% could very well be wrong.

 

Interesting. I just hate that if I were going to spend 80k on a sports car, gas mileage will be the last thing on my checklist.

Hell, even now getting 17-18mpg average doesn't bother me much.

 

If it can be as good, or better than the NSX when it was discontinued, I'd definitely be saving my money for that. I'd make that my AWD along with my bugeye and have the BRZ as my RWD-go-sideways car. Hope it's not fugly.

 

Building a new S2k is harder than a new NSX? WTF crack are they smoking? The NSX is 20 years old.

Where did Honda find the time and money to do the design and R/D on this with all that's happened in Japan recently AND still keep up with all their "regular" cars.

Seems like an odd way to spend the time and money right now. Especially considering this it the first anyone has caught wind of it. How'd they keep it so secret?

Is this purely a hype concept or will they actually develop it? Seems that it hasn't been tested anywhere so it's probably a hype concept and we'll never see it.

 

Just watched Jeremy try and match his GT time on the actual Laguna Seca track.. Petty funny playstation vs actual track time

 

I completely agree. I do see the advantage of having electric motors: instant torque. I hope Honda doesn't screw this up.

Honda was working on something a few years ago and were testing prototypes before deciding to shelve the project. Maybe they're just picking up where they left off from previously.
