Anybody know that whether the NSX prototype will only be lapping the course or maybe some spokeperson from Acura or maybe the test driver will speak about the engine that they are using in the prototype because some articles are saying that the prototype indeed will be using the 3.5l v6 with 3 electric motors? Car and driver and motor trend sai it I believe..

I'm with Doc on this not looking exotic enough and I wish there was more of a family resemblance. I think McLaren made a better NSX 2 than Honda. If someone were to have told me this were it I'd believe them:
short front, prominent side intakes, rear wing, tail light area that spans the width of the car (sorta), exposed mid engine (I realize it didn't come this way stock except the R but a lot of us run it this way). and a minimalist interior with that same sloped dash/door arm rest
They just need to tone down that ridiculous grinning look it has from the front...

Man, I swear I've that front lower valence before... *scratches head* 
Well the new Miata MX-5
NSX 2.0 doesn't look anything like a supercar to me....

about time someone gets it....
That's what I was going to say. It screams knock off of the NSX Concepts's front end - not just the smiling grill, but also the lower ducts, the detailing, the mirror attachments and even the fender lines above the wheels. It even has a beak of its own! Although I like the Concepts headlights, these look a little meaner. This is annoying. Talk about stealing someones thunder.... Isn't there a design patent protecting the work that Honda did?Man, I swear I've that front lower valence before... *scratches head*
I think this is a fake. I can't find on Google. Where did this come from Batman? I smell photoshop.

Sorry fellas, I am a little slow on the uptake this morning. I should probably just get back to my work.

Photoshop. Here's an unmodified view of the same vehicle.
Now in this clip, it sounds like a V8 possibly...

I don't know it sounds similar...
Wow so there are 3 different videos out there of the new NSX. That last one being the longest. I'm surprised nobody has posted this up until now. Good find.
Doesn't sound like a V8. more like a V-crap.
I'm not impressed with the exhaust sound.
I dunno what Nissan does with their 350/370 engines/exhaust. But it's the best sounding 6 cylinder exhaust notes I've ever heard from ANY car makers.
That is at the very least what the new NSX should be coming with.

This is funny because my NSX with HKS sounds very similar to the VQ35 engine and HKS came out with the exhaust almost 20 years ago for the NSX...
I wouldn't judge until you hear the car in person. These video have been edited so much, it's hard to say what anything sounds like let alone the accuracy and quality of the speakers that you are listening to it through. Everyone has different takes and personal preferences on exhaust sound too.
The videos posted of the NSX Prototype in motion have made it more enticing though.

Can you post a video of your car?
More often than not, exhaust sounds different in the cabin and outside. even with the windows rolled down.
The Nissan exhaust just sounds tuned and refined.
