There has never been an attractive car designed by a woman.

Cool looking ride, but I wouldn't buy version 1.0.. too much new shit to work the bugs out of.
Frankly I'm way more interested to see what they do with the S2000 reboot. |

I had a 93 NSX. It was everything that has been said about them.
Almost all the things that made the original car special aren't present on this car. New car looks cool, just different. |

3800 lbs, though. That is what they get for using three electric motors and all the batteries they use instead of dialing up the boost on the engine. |

Save money. Wait for mid-engine Corvette Zora ZR-1.

I bet it drives great, but at 6'-4", I'll never fit into it. I'm 6-2 and fit no problem. It has a launch mode that reminded me of my rail. Was a neat ride. Rick Hendricks bought numbers one and two. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Buy a Viper ACR if that's the kind of car you're looking for. Quote HistoryQuoted: My point of the rant is that it's more like playing a video game than driving a car. Same problem I have with the GTR, and the Mclaren MP412C. Hell, even the Ferrari 458 has too many computers for me, but they are at least not as invasive as the Nissan and Mclaren. I appreciate the engineering when you're looking for the best lap times and cornering speeds possible, but at the same time some things should be left pure for people to experience. Too heavy, they are amusing as hell though. I contend that the first NSX is probably the most perfect track car that you could still drive every day. I'm just sad that this is not an evolution of that. |

Honda showed
off the HSC concept, which looked like an update to the NSX, at the 2004 Detroit auto show, before that model was discontinued in 2005   |

The new one is not NSX at all. Not even sure why they kept the name. There is nothing of the original in the new model. |

You can tell Ferrari ran with it with the Enzo. |

Pretty much all the modern supercars are converging on that design. The WSJ guy http://www.wsj.com/articles/hondas-acura-nsx-flexes-american-muscle-1464293972 says it's got a lot of sound insulation and that it's pretty quiet. 3800 lbs, though. Quote HistoryQuoted:

ETA - after watching the whole video I wonder how the internal airflow would affect cars behind it on the track, and also what kind of wind noise the driver would hear at speed.

My run-of-the-mill WRX is lighter.

They should just stick with making transportation appliances, they've forgotten how to make anything exciting.

My point is that the amount of power they wrung out of that setup is about akin to Ford only being able to wring 300hp and 365ft-lbs of torque out of 8 cylinders and 5.4 liters. Fucking awful with today's tech. |

Fucking awful with today's tech. I think your right, Honda could have pushed the drivetrain a lot harder. Seems a no brainier....... One thing about Honda is a hard lean toward reliability over fun, lower horse power should equal more reliability and less snap crackle pop of stressed components. They love CSI numbers |

Corvette or Viper would smoke it all day long.
When Dodge was out smashing track records with the ACR last year they made sure to put down records for 2 laps as well.... Why? because the hybrids drain the battery after one lap. Then you're dragging around that extra weight for no benefit. |
