There are countless reports online but this one caught my eye in the local paper. The journalist claims to have seen the car and describes it as 'sublime' with the same proportions as the original NSX and a rear mid-mounted engine; a styling blend of R8, MP4-12C and Reventon (great inspiration there!). He seems to suggest that the car is quite different from the one seen online for the Avengers movie, though it is a prototype and could change before it hits production.

All you have to do is click google or bing to translate. Works well with foreign personal ad's, too!





"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.»". Ah good! For ever? This is the rule, but it is not one without exception, then here it is: Acura has officially meant the return of the NSX in this city of Nevada a few days ago.

This is to put an end to the sewn lies of white wire of its leaders who, at the Salon in Tokyo, still refused to confirm the news of his release to service. The announcement will also put an end to the speculation surrounding this two-seater sports that everyone believes have view on the internet with actor Robert Downey Jr. (aka Tony Stark) in the filming of The Avengers who will take the poster in 2012.


At the risk of you disappoint, the NSX you will discover next month at the Detroit Auto show has very little in common with the photos currently circulating on the Web. Even those shot by our German colleagues that show a thick camouflage clad prototype. I know, because I have seen it without fard, in a room - placed under high surveillance - the hotel Aria Las Vegas.


On a small stage and fortune, the NSX awaits its time. And to see its rows, it will not fail its output. It is sublime. The proportions have remained substantially the same, the engine always throne in central position, but forms are more exacerbated. More bevelled also especially in its rear part.


Advertising
At first glance, impossible to not see in it the miscegenation between an Audi R8, a McLaren MP4 - 12 c with a zest of Lamborghini Reventon. Is it that a study, but "very close to the final version" which will be marketed? It knows nothing. Always also cachotière, this brand affiliated with Honda refuses to comment. Not a word on the engine displacement, rolling trains or transmission. However, the affixed tattoo on the right buttock of this prototype in becoming gives some indications: SH - AWD. The name is familiar, but its color is not: it is blue. Therefore, the future NSX will be equipped with a cog four-wheel-drive by electrical training rather than mechanical.


The temptation is great to write that the NSX will be powered by a hybrid powertrain. It appears plausible and therefore with the environmental policy of Honda. He has developed a new engine V6 3.5 l direct injection of some 300 horses. The engine manufacturers, this modular type motor can vary from 3 to 4 litres displacement, but the power would however remain lower than those of the other sports of exception currently on the market, hence the idea of the overeating with electrical energy. We will know more in a few weeks.


What to do?


One might logically ask why Acura launches again in the production of an exotic such. Everything just to remake his image, but also to mark the kick-off of a major offensive produced. In the wake of the NSX, Acura will renew its current RDX (it abandoned its 4-cylinder turbo in favour of a V6) and RL and register a new model of its catalogue entry: the ILX. The latter takes over from CSX, part this year without address. This ILX will make its first release in Canadian territory at the Montreal auto in January show and will be visible in showrooms from spring. Three versions of this model will be then proposed that a motor-powered hybrid. As to the return of the Integra? Remember: "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas".
