How about some new NSX info as of 3/16/14?

Interesting to read that people in the US don't like the front of the car. I like it very much even though I think they didn't show the latest stage of the design yet (why should they? it would be 'outdated' when it arrives on the market). I'm much more concerned about the tail-end of the car where I also (strongly) hope that they didn't show the latest design so far.

Sidenote: did you notice that the LF-A is more than outdated and nobody mentions it here and there?

It's hard to be ahead of time if things chance quickly. In the 90ies the rest was sleeping and product cycles have been very long. Nowadays, even a MP4-12C is outdated after only 3 years. Brave new world! I don't think the new 2.0 will repeat the success of 1.0.

Customizing
I'm pretty sure you get some customizing options in the US. I'm not so sure for the rest of the world. As far a customizing is desirable: you can have a car with no resale-value if you order it in colors or options nobody else would ever order it. There are plenty or McLarens and Porsches out there waiting for a buyer with leather interior colors choosen by people with a 'strange' taste. :) A standard option (a boring black) simplifies things much more. Just my opinion.

I agree with the tail end concerns as I've previously expressed my opinions on that. I would take the NSX as-is but I hope do they refine the tail for a more dramatic effect like the original instead of going for the snub look via side profile like all other cars doing these days.

The LFA is essentially outdated at the point it was produced given many standards, but it still looks good and sounds fantastic. I've read that one fine example has already crossed ?40K miles? That's quite impressive actually for the type of vehicle it is and apparently it's mostly track miles too.
 
Can you post the Goodwood nsx pics you have? Been watching it the past two days looking for a glimpse. Great watching the p1, LA Ferrari, one:1 and 918 do the hill run today.
 
Ah ok, thanks. Somebody else said those pics were from the Tokyo Auto Salon. Wish I could actually be at this event!!! I've been watching it online. Thanks for sharing.

Why does it have a Honda badge. Even on the wheels. I am certain that is not a mistake. Did this prototype come from Japan? These are Ohio cars. They could have circled with Acura badges, It's gone mad JDM yo! or maybe Honda is now ashamed of Acura. "Oh yeah that division that doesn't sell any cars? Yeah that's.... *cough* ours". LMAO...

Dave,

They always show the badge of the division that will be selling the car in a particular country. As of right now only USA, Canada and China have the Acura brand. Thus the Honda badge on the NSX in England.
 
The square footage of the US is 3.8 million sq miles.

There was approxiamately 8000 NSX in the US.

3,800,000/8,000 = 475 sq miles /1 NSX.

The ratio needs to be 475:1 or higher if I am going own a NSX2.0.

Rob, I meant that the one in the pictures (which is at Goodwood) is the NSX Concept that has been making the show circuit (which I think was last displayed at TAS).

And that they wouldn't have the prototype that is going to run at Goodwood on display prior to it running (remember the blue prototype at Mid-Ohio?)
 
From UK Magazine the NSX will only be on display at Goodwood and not doing the famous hill climb were other manufactures show off their current and concepts.

Another major let down...

It’s one of the biggest events in the British motorsport diary and this year racing legends, celebrities and thousands of motorsport fans will indulge their love of motors at the annual Goodwood of Speed Festival.


Honda is showcasing its illustrious motorsport history and winning heritage at this year’s Festival.

The famous Honda RA272 - the car used in the 1965 F1 season, and the Honda powered McLaren MP4/4 F1 car driven by Ayrton Senna in 1988 will take on the Goodwood Hill climb.

The NSX supercar and new Civic Type R concept models will also be on display.

Visitors to the Honda stand will also experience an interactive gaming challenge and even got to ride a selection of the company’s latest off-road motorcycles on a specially created course just next to the famed Goodwood Hillclimb.

Well, somebody from Honda lied to the motoring press because since around March there have been published articles from the UK and even Australia stating that a second gen NSX would be running up the hill. Does anyone even know if the "prototype" at Goodwood was even a running model? Did they display the engine? If so, how many liters? How many forward gears in the tranny? Geez, this is getting real old. The "new" NSX already looks very dated next to some of the other exotica at the show.
 
OMG,

OMG,

OMG,


Doesn't smell good ... Typical Honda failure ...



Be prepared folks to be immensely deceived again by Honda ... Still the same pattern repeating itself again and again ...


Honda should learn to do it right or just shut up and stay clear of the pros ...


OMG

OMG

OMG


Epic fail ...
 
Nice color, but only show & no go not a confidence builder for me.

I'm going for an early summer morning drive...

That was the rumor, indeed. Honda evidently had some drivetrain issues re: NSX crash at the Takasu test track and they're not too keen on potentially experiencing those same issues in such a public fashion at Goodwood. Coincidentally, the TLX SH-AWD is delayed. Whether it's drivetrain related is pure speculation. But I have my thoughts...
 
New NSX

It is just the way it is,they will have time this summer to get it done by the end of the year,here is a a vid from Goodwood <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/wDmvU19HPts" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
 
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime

Same as it ever was......
Same as it ever was......
Same as it ever was......
Same as it ever was......
Same as it ever was......

(There I feel much better now)

That was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw those wheels, carbon wheels and funky design for aerodynamics and brake cooling.
I was just being silly and showing admiration for the extent to which you are going with your NSX.
Although, I'm a little doubtful the Concept wheels will make it to production, unless they're truly designed to be function over form.

Talking about wheels....

I am confounded, but I am glad you feel much better now.
 
I feel like I know more about the apocalypse than the new NSX. Exactly when will it just be too late and nobody will care? They've already lost the Super Bowl commercial interest, nobody outside of prime really talks about it or cares anymore, the publics senses have been overloaded with new Ferraris, Audis, Porsches, Lambos, Astons, Maseratis, Mercedes, McLarens, etc. I'm losing faith in the entire NSX project by the week.

Honda has tortured and tormented their NSX fan base for what appears to be forever. A great majority have moved on. A few diehards are still hanging on, hoping against hope.
I am one of those but I am starting to feel that even if the NSX does make appearance, whenever that is, that for the price, I would rather have a German sports car with name, a real pedigree and prestige that I will know has history of continuous production and better likelihood of staying in production.

I am quite sure that when the NSX does come out, my interest in it will be limited to seeing what Honda has finally produced...but that is all.

Honda has failed its loyal followers....at least most of them.
 
This was similar to the new Lotus Esprit tease that went on and on ...... and collapsed.
