So another Japanese icon is back, most likely will not have the destructive performance of the R35, but as a rival to the R8 with the same engine and drivetrain layout, will it be enough? :ponder > The Honda NSX supercar is set to return as a 400bhp four-wheel-drive hybrid. Honda has already confirmed that a new NSX will be revealed at the Detroit Motor Show in January, and now we have more information on the Japanese Audi R8 rival. > > We’ve already seen spy shots of a concept car on the set of the new Avengers movie, and we’ve since had confirmation that the Detroit show car will be heavily based on that model. Our images show a coupe, but the final production version will also be offered as a roadster. > > The concept will be shown as an Acura – the firm’s luxury North American arm – but it will be badged as a Honda when it arrives in the UK, and retain its forebear’s NSX name. Power will come from a 3.5-litre V6 driving one axle and a pair of in-wheel electric motors to turn the other. This will give the NSX four-wheel-drive traction and 400bhp-plus. Performance will be impressive, with 0-62mph taking under five seconds. > > For full details on the new NSX, including how the hybrid powertrain will be adapted to suit the project, check out this week’s Auto Express magazine. source: autoexpress ---

Meh, would still buy a 1st gen given the choice. Why 4wd, thought the whole mid engine rear wheel was part of the cars appeal. This is a concept tho, so maybe the production one will be better looking. ---
