I see no pic

edit: Don't know what happened - now I see it and looks like a racecar not street legal

NetViper · 3 November 2004

Looks like a cross between the current NSX and the HSC concept. I like the first HSC better.

Sig · 3 November 2004

Perhaps it is the angle, but the nose looks too Corvettish (not that there's anything wrong with that

) for my taste.

Ditto. The nose on that picture looks a lot like the camaros from the late 80s/early 90s.

I like this version a bit better. Wide and flat and menacing. Now all it needs is a 400hp version and a R version that's sent to the states with 500hp. C'mon Honda!

It does doesn't it? I kinda like it

sc boosted nSx · 3 November 2004

like the rear alot better than the previous look of the hsc, looks kinda like a ferrari f50, the front though, looks like its been stretched foward and to the ground, if they kept the first hsc's front and just updated the rear i would be sold.....

after they tell me they plan on giving it a 400-500 hp motor that is

I agree, the back is much nicer.. more ferrari 360 ish with the challenge grill. Very nice.

I also agree with the 400-500HP motor. It will need it to keep up with the F430 and Gallardo.

I'm not sure where this image came from, but I must admit that I'm smitten with it. The rear end is exactly as it should be. The front rake goes against the current designs comming out of Japan and I love it! Cudos to whoever is in charge of this photoshop.

Thanks for the new wallpaper!

Keep the original HSC front and IMHO this new rear is absolutely better looking than the original one.

So can we see it as a 50 % improvement?

And I would like to see incorporated my tail light design on the side view of car.

As seen in this thread: HSC without wierd B pillar and other pic

But the HSC design is still very edgy. I prefer smooth curves...

K.O. · 4 November 2004

The rear is a lot nicer, but does anyone see some 3rd gen Rx-7 in it.

RP-Motorsports · 4 November 2004

we need to get Honda's direct email, and start flooding it!!!!

blknsxnoc · 4 November 2004

huge improvement in the rear over the original but the fronts gotta go....

Johnny@JETZ · 4 November 2004

looks like it might have a carrera-GT like auto adjust wing spoiler, nice!

NeoNSX · 4 November 2004

My first thought was.... BLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the front of the first generation HSC more... it looked more NSXish; simple and pure. The rear on this is a SIGNIFICANT improvement which to be honest wasn't hard to do.

The circular headlights under the long strip is more like the current NSX, which i like the idea of very much (Hey OJAS they must have seen the photoshop job you did!!!

) and is that a mini-integrated wing? Ohh... i hope so.

Of course, i reserve real judgement until i see better photos, and final judgement when i see it in the flesh. Not that honda cares what i think.

Zuerst · 4 November 2004

I like this updated rear with the front of the first HSC.

gheba_nsx · 4 November 2004

I agree: old front and new rear would be almost perfect!

(and 380hp for max. 70k$ ...or 400p for max. 77k$ but I see this second option as not Honda-ish...

)

Then we would have a winner!

Johnny@JETZ · 4 November 2004

so I guess this is what most of you ask for

gheba_nsx · 4 November 2004

Yes, that would look good!

The wheels makes also a huge different from the original HSC!

NeoNSX · 4 November 2004

HSC : Spot on, except a silver front and red rear would be weird.

Love those larger side intakes.

What do you guys think? Personally the 1st HSC wheels grew on me and I liked them. They were HUGE, but nice. These rims dont do the car justice; not enough "supercar" in them. But that's just me.
