Acura NSX Approved for Production! Concept to Appear at 2012 Detroit Show - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

KevinDuMa · 09-03-2011, 07:10 PM

So I just so happen to be a super hero nerd as well as a car fanatic, long story short I was looking through new set photos of The Avengers and it looks like Tony Stark/Robert Downey Jr. may be driving the new Acura NSX? Though it's only a back shot of the car I do notice its a full strip tail light but in LEDs instead. Looks good from what I can see...another reason for me to look forward to seeing this movie now, to see the new Acura sports car, whatever it may be called.

Edit: I googled Robert Downey Jr. New Acura and found images of the front

Sorry, It's a one-off for the movie.

I saw that...well seems like they're still interested in making a sports car and what better place to show one off then a big block buster movie?...

not a NSX, but definitely a research car for Acura. The fact that it appears to be a mid-engine sports car could be mistaken for an NSX. When Acura does release a new sports car, i hope its affordable and not another playback of Lexus LFA

Eh I don't think it'll be lfa pricing but it wont be cheap, judging by the price of Acuras it would probably fall somewhere between 90-100 grand.

Ya! thats cool...80-100 is acceptable IMO.. the older NSX retailed around that price range. But that was then and this is now, with a different market, different executives, different engineers..a lot can change in a small amount of time. I just hope they don't get their panties tied up in a wad and say, "hay lets build an awesomely rare sports car to showcase what our company is about and price it at 500k". Because its certainly possible.

styling exercise? i can see them keeping that grille. its a little mazda-ishm but at least its not the monstrosity that it is now...

One-off? Cmon Honda, release it already

Auto log said Acura won't produce this vehicle, but they also hint that a new NSX isn't dead.

looks like your TSX grille. It's certainly part of the Honda family!

I saw a NSX yesterday parked outside a connivence store, what a legend.
