Wow. Actually seeing them next to each other really makes the concept look like a bloated Audi! If the 91 had an 02 rear conversion it would definately be the better looking vehicle.
Why, then, does the concept seem so much larger than the original car? Part of this perception is due to the narrowness of the original car and the Concept's aggressive styling elements that accentuate its width. Mostly, though, the visual deception is down to the vast, vast difference in wheel size. The Concept rolls on 19- and 20-inch wheels that dwarf the 15- and 16-inch alloys on our long-termer. These, in turn, require tires of significantly larger rolling diameter, much larger fender arches and so on.
I agree, it does look bigger even tho the dimension are smaller overall. It's in the canopy. They need to slim it down a bit.
i think it's sexy.. both cars. i always liked the nsx 2.0.. its like MEGATRON to GALVATRON

and presumeably wider 19"/20" wheels up front and sit the driver further forward and then where do the pedals go? How did they avoid this design issue? Or is it a case of they avoided it because they haven't designed the interior yet?require tires of significantly larger rolling diameter, much larger fender arches and so on
Count me in as another one who thinks the concept is a stunner. Much as I love my '98, it don't look as good as the concept.
As good as that car looks... I really wish the NSX never came back. I wanted our's to stay legendary.
I think it will stay legendary regardless of what happens. People aren't going to forget about it just because there's a new model out, especially one that is so drastically different. And of course Senna.
Keep in mind it has a J engine those are a lot narrower than our C enginesI guess the nsx 2.0 won't have a trunk like our's.. That's why it's 3 inch shorter?
