Has Ted Klaus (in past/recent conversations) or anyone else within Honda/Acura mentioned a "Targa"/Spider version? Just curious if this was designed into the existing platform (vs. a revision/add-on downstream).
I'm assuming the NSX-2.0 to be ~3,400lbs+ so a removable Targa-style top would be preferable to an automatic roof-panel on a Spider (ie. Spider versions of the 12C/650S and 458) which can add an additional ~150lbs+ as well as mechanical/electrical reliability and dependability.
The CF+alloy "floor" is interesting, I wonder if that would improve cross-sectional/torsional rigidity with an open-top offering...

There has only been brief reference to trunk/no trunk. To those who were at the reveal, or anyone else, is anything out there to give us some answers?
I saw a video made at the unveiling where Ted Klaus said there is a trunk suitable for 2 Samsonite-style carry on bags.

Mentions of the trunk, is there also an usable frunk (in terms of storage)?
Appears that there's no room behind the seats, as-in no rear parcel/bench/etc.

Why can't there be a trunk behind the engine? How much in the way of mechanical equipment do they have behind the block besides the DCT and the electric motor? These items seem to be down low in the body too. There seems to be a lid over this potential trunk as shown below:
Also I believe I see a key hole in the deck lid which wouldn't make sense if it was just an engine cover:

What's with the key hole on the door? It sticks out, I'm sure there could of been a better spot to put it. I might have missed it but I noticed the hole today.

Guys. There is a trunk behind the engine. The burned prototype had it and it's been stated to hold 2 carry-on bags or a golf bag. Picture S2000 trunk size or 350Z shallowness.
There seems to be half a cubic foot space behind the seats from what I could see in the pics. You could probably fit a laptop case or briefcase back there.

I'm sure that's the keyhole and the other is the rear view camera. I hope they put a good rear camera in there b/c the one in our MDX is…less than ideal.

Yeah, it does look out of place. What is strange is that they photoshopped it out of the press photos. So clearly, Acura doesn't even like it. You would think they would have gone with a keyless fob system. I guess that also means that you start this car with an ignition key as well?
I personally think this is not the finished product, someone told me this car was not finished in marysville. This was shipped from Japan and the production is not near. Having a key hole like that in a $150k+ car is ridiculous.
I don't know about you guys.. but I think this car looks incredible. It's understated enough yet not over the top. The front end doesn't even bother me too much.
I love this shot!
I love this shot!
notice how they sized the wheels/tires to appeal to the 19/20 crowd...and not much fender gap...with electric torque vectoring I'm sure tire size will have to be kept within a tight tolerance.....but I'm sure someone will dump it daily lol...
Care to start the "How to stance a 2015 NSX?" thread? I'm sure someone will come up with a How-to disable torque vectoring in your new 2015 topic.
...oh how somethings never change...
For the record, when I asked them to open the engine bay they said they were under direction to not, which also leads me to believe this is almost production. Almost.
How much did they pay Jerry Seinfeld to show up and make a stupid looking face? That is my only question. I cannot imagine that he will appreciate this car beyond his sponsorship agreement.
1st gen had Senna 2nd gen has Seinfeld
Mitch did they mention the 'Quiet' mode function that was shown in the Commercial shown? I'm assuming its turning off the gas powered V6 and switching 100% to battery mode? Any mention how long the batteries would be expected last in battery only mode if such a mode exists?
