Sounds good to me! We'll see in a few months :biggrin:

Some clues from the powertrain of the Acura RLX sport-Hybrid: http://www.acura.com/DimensionsCapacities.aspx?model=RLX&modelYear=2014

The RLX is a large-ish sedan, but the hybrid powertrain is similar in setup to the NSX powertrain, but reversed in the axles. RLX sport Hybrid has 2 electric motors on the rear wheels, and a naturally-aspirated direct injection V6 engine plus another electric motor on the front wheels.

At 4300 lbs.+, and with a total system horsepower of 377, it gets an EPA rating of 28 City, 32 Highway, and 30 combined.

NSX will almost certainly be lighter, but the next-generation Turbo V6 may eat a lot of gasoline.

New Honda NSX teaser pictures emerge, set for Detroit auto show | Evo

I am actually liking the prospects of this car while it will likely run about 25-30k more than an i8 it seems like a better implementation all around. I especially like the idea of dual front electric motors. And the rear v6 combined with a rear electric motor and this car should be quite impressive.

Plus it looks better than the i8 (my opinion... But I can't help it... I love the look)
 
I think it looks much better than the i8 as well. (It's style will probably age a bit more gracefully than the "look at how futuristic this car looks" styling of the i8).

I'd love to drive a new one -- the original was a lot of fun.
 
Whoops didn't realize there was actually a thread I looked... Guess I didn't look hard enough. Thanks mods!

One of the car clubs / cars and coffee I attend on the weekend there is a guy who drives the old NSX (there is sometimes a second one that also shows up) so I will be interested to ask him, when next I see him, what his thoughts are on the car. Still I can't help but think that this is what BMW was trying to do with the i8 and just didn't quite hit the mark.
