Honda NSX

According to one source, Honda never gives up his plans for the NSX successor. Even though the concept of post-NSX-powered V-10 came at the wrong time - during the economic crisis - and should be canceled, the Honda engineers did not entirely rule out the project. NSX life, at least in a different form.
They only apply the approach to sports car that is more market friendly (and eco-friendly) for the two main doors companies, providing a new hybrid gizmology. Completely different than the THS-II hybrid system Toyota, the technology is scheduled for new sports coupe Honda power "can be driven with a good clutch and engine only, engine and motor, or motors," said our source.

It's a coupe sporty and a great first try in the direction of hybrid-sports. To be called a sports car, the car must have the potential of the NSX or S2000 is a That. What we need to aim to. "

Using the platform front-wheel-drive Accord as the basis for this car will cut R & D costs dramatically. Engineer will swap the front and back around to make the AWD rear midship package. If the coupe gets the green light for production, expect to see it in showrooms in early 2014. Still unclear is if the car is badged as an Acura will continue here in the United States
