well we know it aint olyar15.......lol
Seeing this and other threads of the new NSX is great news. I love the looks of the car.
In a few years there will be one in my garage.

They do not. Press them in and then pull.
Drivers are Honda engineers.
It's not a tour per se. The test engineers are taking a very long road trip. I met some of them yesterday. People have been stalking them and one of the engineers is actually posting pictures in Instagram but he said he was done his portion of the test yesterday.Wow, some angles on this new car just look absolutely fantastic.
New NSX
Not long ago they had the new NSX at the Honda Jet facility and allowed the employees who wanted to, have their picture of it next to one of the flight test aircraft.
I'm trying to get some pictures of that as I work here.

This video shows the same R8 and 911 parked in front of a Honda company building. As others have noted it seems like these two competing cars keep making it into many of the pictures. I'm sure they consider the visual association to be a good thing.
But what about that MDX? Why would they benchmark it and/or why would they want customers to associate it with the NSX? Since the MDX is Acura's best selling vehicle and more expensive than most other Acuras, do you think they believe MDX owners are the most likely existing customers to buy an NSX?

Here's a video showing how the door handle operates. It looks a bit awkward relative to Tesla. However I suspect this non-motorized design is far less likely to experience failure. Tesla door handles appear to be notorious for failing.

Video of engine revving. Sounds like a mutant high tech, high revving sewing machine. Very thin with little bass or grunt. Muscle car lovers will hate this.
Wheels looks asymmetrical here.

Black doesnt really do the car justice. I really thought it would.

NSX door handles operate exactly the same way as the GT-R's.
Thumb out - press end, catch other end that pivots with free fingers. The GT-R handles pivot at their rearward end.

Since the car is made in the U.S., it's fitting that it looks best in red, white, and blue.
I hope those mirrors fold in though.

It looks like there is a recess behind the handle so you could just grab the trailing edge with a finger. ?
The recess differs from the GT-R and is preferable in my opinion.
The lady in the twitter video chooses not to use it!

Why is there a keyhole?
Another angle.........
The keyhole is awful and the black is surprisingly bland.
I'm wondering about a gun metal or maybe Ford Electric blue.

This 3/4 front pic right here should bring people into reality about how modern the new NSX looks compared to the one made over a quarter century ago... While the first front view shows the evolution and relationship of the two.

I like it in black! I wonder why they didn't use the rear spoiler in Europe like they do in the US cars.
They wanted it to look more like an egg that has been carved up and less like a proper sports car shaped by the wind.
