Detroit Auto Show 2012: Acura Honda NSX Concept. It was known that Honda had planned to please its fans at the
Detroit Motor Show 2012 by unveiling the spiritual descendant of fire – finally – the
Honda NSX, this elegant sport party to the assault of the Porsche and Ferrari in the last century.a
The Japanese constructor so the promise and today unveils a new sports car called
NSX, even if the car is for the moment only a concept car with an Acura badge.
The nostalgic regret may not find the purity of the lines of the original NSX, the small new showing more muscular and much more aggressive. Its proportions seem closer to a
Berlinetta with central engine back as the
Audi R8 and purists will be pleased to learn that this current NSX is always driven by a
V6 air (
direct injection) placed behind the seats.
But here, he is assisted by two electric motors that allow to transmit power to all four wheels via a complex management called SH – AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive). Clearly, this NSX new milling is a hybrid 4WD, finished the time of simple propulsion. Note that it is for the moment or the power of V6, or electric motors.
Unlike the HSC in 2003 concept, Honda promises this new concept car will be well followed by a production model, marketed in the next three years and developed jointly by the Japanese Honda and division teams United States of group.
As a reminder, the original NSX was the
Ferrari Berlinetta at the time, the 348. This new model will go up to target the Ferrari 458?
