Preaching to the choir, my friend!
Not to mention the Alfa C4 with... carbon-composite tub for ~$50k starting MSRP.
The looks of the NSX-v2.0 being one thing, but then the weight!
McLaren 540 competition for the NSX
- Thread starter SUNLINE
- Start date

Where are we getting the 3600lb weight from? GT-R is 3800+ btw.
After looking at the 570 compared with the NSX I think I actually may like the front end of the NSX more than the McLaren... Believe it or not. Anybody else not a hater of the NSX front end?
I'll just wait for the aftermarket body kit to make the NSX 2.0 look like a McLaren with McLaren doors.
I say that's a fair guess if they can make the new NSX weigh in at 3200 lbs before emotors and battery weight - based on the RLX SH-AWD weight gain. I'm more optimistic to believe Honda can manage 3,000 lbs, but in today's stringent safety regulations???
Very unlikely Honda will be able to manage 3000 lbs with the NSX. Given the hybrid drivetrain and all of the extra cooling elements they had to add to the car, I'm thinking we're looking at between 3400 and 3600 lbs. Still probably going to be a rocketship as straightline speed goes but not going to be particularly light, especially considering the materials used.
I meant 3000 lbs before the emotors and batteries (in conventional thought if Honda were to make a car without the hybrid stuff) - like in comparison of the FF RLX weighing 4000 lbs and then the SH-AWD 4320 lbs.
more McLaren propaganda with 540C info so i am not hi-jacking.
Spot on.
Nice book by McLaren - if this is for the US it looks like the 540C is coming our way also. Hoping Acura publishes their book soon!
