I believe there is an article on Temple of Vtec explaining that it'll be MR, just like the original NSX.

The original NSX just got more appealing to me... seems like the older one would let me take control and drive rather than letting this new one drive me.

You know what I would like?

Honda NSX (2014)
NA 3.5l V6 DI
450 PS @ 9.000 RPM
420 Nm @ 7.000 RPM
1.200 kg (DIN)

who wouldnt like that?

Back then Honda was really hardcore about their performance models, they even removed the power steering along with every other luxuries on the type-r nsx to save weight, it's just the spirit isn't the same anymore.

the future for cars is sure exciting!

Hybrid? AWD?

Pass.

I'd get it!

If it's anything like most hybrids, that electric power would offer maximum torque at the lowest of RPMs, combined with SH-AWD, this thing is gonna rip off the line.

Whenever I take the S2000 to 9k, I sometimes feel guilty about the gas money that I just killed. After all, it's my daily driver. However, with Honda claiming that the new NSX will make more gas mileage than a 4 cylinder, I don't think I'd ever feel that guilt.

The original NSX was the type sports car with "exotic looks" you can comfortably daily drive in the 90s. I'm sure Honda is going for the same theme. It probably won't be the fastest car out there by the time it's released, but personally, a 500hp AWD car is already more than enough for me.

Original NSX > this

Ayrton Senna tested the car himself.

while i have a world of respect for senna, i dont think that matters too much. stating that a car that is a couple decades old is going to be better than a car that doesnt even exist yet is just an irresponsible thing to do although everyones entitled to their opinon. while id probably rather have an old nsx i wouldnt dare say its greater than this new potential supercar

Nowhere have I said it was going to be better, I merely am stating my opinion of preference.

How can you prefer something you've never experienced?
