Secretive Honda supercar seen round the ring.

Temple of VTEC Rumors and News - Pixel analysis of NSX spy pics reveals dimensional secrets

a few articles on vtec.net already

last year there was a chopped up S2000 around the same length,wheels and exahust setup etc

now it's seen behind a R35 GTR around the ring and apparently laps faster then a V-Spec GTR, and wait, there's more!.
This is a Mid-leveled affordable sports car that apparently Honda are making to fight the cheaper 911's, corvette's etc. NSX will be re-designed and made to fight the ultimate super cars, enzo/merciellgo etc.

click onto main vtec.net page and read around.

Looks a bit like a 350z from the side.

SK1TZ- EF · 21st June 2008, 12:34 PM

^^^ or the OLD supra

Well they are definately working on something. Its the third rumour in the las year that there is a car in the making which has nothing to do with the UGLY prototypes shown at few Auto Salons in states and Tokyo (I think).
I really hope they get to use DSG kinda gearbox.

better link here
Motor Authority Spy Shots: Honda NSX prototype runs the ‘ring in 7:37, equipped with paddle shift gearbox

Quote:

Acura spokesman Mike Spencer confirmed several details of the upcoming NSX replacement. The car will definitely be powered by a V10 engine, and it will be equipped with the company’s SH-AWD system. The lack of intakes at the rear of the car also confirms the NSX replacement will feature a front-engine configuration, as opposed to the mid-engine layout of the former

hmmm, looks like a prelude to me.

SK1TZ- EF · 21st June 2008, 04:16 PM

I want the paint job, lol

Nicknamed_13 · 21st June 2008, 04:32 PM

Looked around a bit more.... its going to have paddle shifter and around 550bhp. I think its going to be a good model, it seems to be a good design. Specially if they get it to be faster then GT-R around the track.

4VTECN · 21st June 2008, 05:15 PM

looks alright, maybe not the paint job though

[QUIKdc2] · 21st June 2008, 05:18 PM

The paintjob is designed to hide the lines of the car from the camera

TakeiTeg · 21st June 2008, 05:38 PM

it's a cover/camoflouge not a paint job. sheesh do you guys look properly these days...

It also mucks up autofocus, it wouldn't know where to focus on, so you'll end up with a blurry pic.

Oh and YAY for more sports cars!!

Temple of VTEC Rumors and News - A Brief Video Clip of NSX Prototype Ripping around the 'Ring

hrrm sounds interesting.. heh

Grin-T · 21st June 2008, 05:52 PM

Last I read of the R35 GTR V Spec's still-under-testing time was an unofficial 7 mins 25s?

And by the sounds of that vid, it seems like it'll be Honda's version of DSG gearbox.

noddy_sux · 21st June 2008, 07:54 PM

how did they conclude that this proto was even a honda?

KLRVTC · 21st June 2008, 10:18 PM

The exhausts

TakeiTeg · 21st June 2008, 10:56 PM

i'm pretty sure someway or other they see honda technicians in the pitlanes?

also the interior shot, the indicator switch/steering wheel looks almost euro/civic.

Peter · 22nd June 2008, 02:55 AM

Haaawt.

Bout time Honda did something regarding the super car market.

SK1TZ- EF · 22nd June 2008, 09:22 AM

would that "Cover" paintjob stop speed cameras from making out vehicles???

sorry for offtopic...Ummm, Hondas DS-G??? CV-DSG?

j/k

That video made it sound weird, like an auto that was flicking between gears.

Nope, with all those high contrast lines it'd be a breeze
