3 electric motors? Interesting, I will have to read up on this new generation. |

4 years too late, but would drive. For the price, though. I'm going Aston.
My old boss just got back from Ohio where he spent the week driving them around a track. Lucky fucker. |

I'm sure it's a fine hybrid that Ted Klaus and his team can be proud of, but as the owner of two of the originals I wish they didn't use the same name......to me this car is waaaay out of character to be called NSX.

I'd have a hard time paying that much for a Honda/Acura "supercar." A 570S would be much more appealing. Might be able to get a used Ferrari 458 for that price.

I agree wholeheartedly. But I suppose it has to keep up with the times where every super car is AWD with electric motors/assist. I miss the ole days of a good drivers car, IE mid engined rear wheel drive and no abs/tcs/driving assists. The late 90s was the end of that era. 
I am glad to have seen it though, the transition from a time of pure drivers to assists. I would have hated to be born much after I was. |

I haven't driven either.
Everything I've read about the new NSX suggest that even though the performance is outstanding, it is almost too civil. It doesn't have the unquantifiable connection with the tarmac like it's competitors or predecessor. This may or may not be a problem depending on what you want to do with it. The Mclaren definitely gets the cool points. Again, I haven't driven either, but based on what I've read the Mclaren should be the better driver's car. I would be concerned about being able to have the Mclaren serviced. Personally, I would pick the one made by the manufacturer who's primary purpose it to win at the highest level of motorsports over an appliance manufacturer's halo car. |

Had a 99 Zanardi NSX... I regret ever selling it. It was the most pure driving machine I've ever driven besides the new Viper!
But the new NSX is a completely different beast. Reminds me of a GTR. Very utilitarian in the city but once you unleash it on mountain or open roads, it becomes a completely different animal! |

Fuck no. They could have got that horse power and handling for 50k+ less and had a GTR competitor or even less and had Corvette competitor. Instead they are in Lambo territory with all that electric riff raff and 9 speed tranny. The only reason to buy one is if it destroys the competition in that category on the track. Otherwise who is gonna pick this over any other exotic in the price range when you just wanna look rich and get bitches?

The original NSX was pretty sharp looking when it came out, although the engine choice was very poor.
This new one just seems to be lacking in any sort of excitement but I am sure its a solid car. As others have said the McClarren is a bit more in cost but a lot more in excitement. |

On a serious note. At nearly 4000 lbs that thing is a hog. The fact that it's awd means even less HP to the wheels. |

Not anything like the original. Not really Honda's fault, but more of government regs and compliance tests. It is probably an amazing car, but not timeless like the original. I have been in a supercharged NSX in Germany and it was sex.
