Drivetrain info from Gansan's link, "The Detriot Bureau:"
Under the hood is a version of the sport-hybrid powertrain that the NSX will use when it goes back into production, meanwhile.
The original 2-seater used a high-tech V-6 and Acura toyed with a variety of alternatives, including a high-power V-10 before settling on its current strategy. It will use a unique three-motor hybrid, two on the front axle and one on the rear, which will also draw power from a turbocharged V-6. The layout will allow aggressive torque vectoring, different amounts of energy directed to each of the front wheels to improve the way it steers through a cornering.
Interior info:
As for the suede, leather and chrome interior shown on the 2013 Detroit Auto Show prototype, think of it as “one possible direction” the maker may go once it gets the NSX into production, explained chief designer Jon Ikeda.
The race track-ready steering wheel and paddle shifters are intended to minimize the distractions on a driver pushing a supercar to “the limit,” Ikeda suggested. And there are a pair of large LCD screens, including one in the primary gauge cluster that can be reconfigured to the driver’s specifications.
A turbo V6 would be "whoa, they're serious about performance." Here's hoping they don't change the interior much. Really like the idea of a reconfigurable gauge cluster.
