Japan dumps 276hp pact...New NSX quoted again?!

[xxx]

Since this article was released in January 2005, I hope it's not already a repost! :biggrin:

For years, it's been presumed that once an automaker stuck out its neck and ignored the 276-hp mark, the rest would quickly follow. And judging by what's in the Japanese production pipeline, it looks as if the conventional wisdom was correct. Coming on the heels of that new Acura RL will be the Lexus RX400h with an estimated 300 horsepower, and then the flood gates open—Mazda will introduce a 300-hp two-seat RX-7, Acura will again cross the line with a new NSX with at least 400 horses, and Toyota will mark its territory with the supercar on page 36.

The rest of the info can be read here.

wrong section...

and umm, who knows anymore ??? ugh, it's quite insane how there is no concrete answer... I'm hoping for a surprise concept/prototype with the surprise (obviously not the eqivalent of car) surprise like when Chrysler rolled out the ME-412. Who knows though,

It's weird how Lexus comes out and says (about their supercar), "We're going to build this car. Here it is. Should be close to this concept, and will be out in '07 or '08." Period. No smoke and mirrors BS.

I think that was a repost, but like rickysals said, wrong section and who really knows anymore!???
