2 seat 70k roadster

[Bobolinski]

Well the GM of Stockton Acura told me his latest meetings with Acura/Honda execs confirms 05 ends production of hand built NSX. New 2 seat 70k 440 hp roadster non hand built will be introduced for 07. He will not accept a deposit on a 06 NSX. He tells me this news was given to him within the last few weeks.

Lets hope it's truth info :smile: 440hp is not bad at all.

440HP? Sounds good to me. :biggrin: Now let's hope it's less then 3000lb. :smile:

non hand built tho... darn... the NSX will always be special :biggrin:

 

[NRG]

roadster? a beefer S2000? Maybe it will be called S4000?

 

[NetViper]

V6 or V8?

 

[comquat1]

So are they competing with lexus on the convertable end? A la sc430.

 

[K.O.]

Roadster huh? Front-engine, Sh-awd perhaps? Stick the 440hp in current Nsx please. Rather have a real sports car than these fast but heavy wannabe sports cars. No mid-engine means Nsx legacy will not live on.

Are you sure he's not talking about the Honda Viper :biggrin:

 

[comquat1]

A roadster in my opinion does nothing for me in terms of track use. :frown: I want a rigid hardtop. Frankly, I don't care about the hp war, just so long as it's lightweight a la the lotus cars.

Until I see a Honda press release these "Bob's friend who's sister's husband's son works for Honda heard from this designer who had an inside meeting with Joe and Fred and a guy said this...." stories should be taken with a grain of salt...

I hope one of these stories are right, but don't get tooo excited.

 

[NRG]

probably you'll see many of them on the street just like the S2000.

 

[ChrisK]

Hopefully this is just another Honda sports car and not a replacement NSX. I don't like the sound of "Roadster". I'm just not a convertable fan. Give me a hard top or at the very least a removable top like the NSX-T.

 

[timothyaw]

I'm with you ChrisK, this might be the replacement for the S2K. In that case it's great. The NSX replacement will be a few years down the road. Hopefully that's how it should all work out :biggrin:

It sounds like an Acura version of the S2000. Like the Acura sedan vs. the Honda Accord. The sad thing to me is the assembly-line production. Although I'm selling my '93, I will someday be buying a 2000 NSX, and I believe it's exclusitivity (if that's a word) will be better than anything new Honda builds on a line. In other words, I think the present NSX is always going to keep it's value, and be desirable. I wish Honda wouldn't do this.
