Appears to be pretty high door sills, getting in and out may be challenging.

You sit on the door sill and then just slide your butt down onto the seat to get in, and just reverse the process to get out. I'm sure you can easily practice this with and i8 at your local Bimmer dealer showroom.

Good. I'm glad Honda isn't designing this car to cater to fat Americans.

A rendering based on the patented images.

It looks nice. Too bad that the real production version won't look like this. This could be the new S2000!!

Is there any sort of scale on those imagines? Because the new NSX isn't really that large of a vehicle. It's just incredibly dense b/c of it's stupid hybrid system.

To refresh everyone's memory, here is the exterior patents that were filed last year.

funwheeldrive · 07-19-2017, 03:51 PM

Why do some car companies have to file patents of a car's design, when others keep exterior details very hidden until the last second?

Can you imagine this with the type r engine

It's been widely reported for years that when/if an S2000/baby NSX is actually built that it will use a version of the CTR's engine. So at this point that's almost a given. Factor in Honda discontinuing the Accord's V6 engine and it's bordering on the sort of certainty on which you'd bet your life.

Any chance of this having a V6 engine (would mean it's NSX derived) and would cost considerably more than $40-50k.

Isn't the baby NSX also supposed to be a hybrid, or did I make that up?

If you like revs, time to get yourself an old S2k
