It's a very big assumption that they are cast iron brakes, they may be made of unobtanium and don't need all that show off fancy slot and holes!
I really don't think it's worth building any strong opinions of the new NSX based on a clip of what looks like an in-game sequence from Gran Turismo, or similar. Once the pictures, specs, prices etc. have been confirmed then yes, let's moan about the teenie-weenie brake discs then!
Don't worry guys and dolls, as you all know the whole point of this forum is to have lively opinions and discussions on all matters NSX, both old and now new.

Unbelievable .... as owners in the main of the original why cant you guys be pleased that Honda is making the investment and looking to again raise the bar for the low to mid-range supercar.
Instead, you would rather trash the new car based on its brake discs?? Anyone checked out the standard fitment to an MP4 recently? that will be steel discs. why? because, say Maclaren, they are lighter than oversized ceramic eye catching optional brakes ... they make Maclaren a tonne of cash because the 'bling' buyers tick the options list in 7/10 purchases.
Ever given it any thought that maybe Honda might just bring this car to market with a 'standard' spec and then an options list?
One thing is for sure ... the first One Hundred owners havent been put off by small brakes!

I am pleased that Honda is going there again, at last. I'm intrigued as to what the actual spec(s) will be. This teaser-video is just that - a tease. Not something to base a purchasing decision on......
Calm down Senninha, nobody is slagging the car off, in fact I for one think it's a great "tour de force" of cutting edge technology and can't wait to see it and read reviews on its performance and where it stacks up against the other exotics.
But that certainly doesn't mean we can't give opinions or make judgements on what we see so far, after all if Honda/Acura decide to launch a "teaser" 3 weeks before it's official launch date then what do they expect the world to do after being "teased" for the last 3 years or more.
We, as a forum, should embrace the fact that we can make comments or form opinions on all things NSX as it creates good talking and thinking points and without those where would we be on here?
Merry Christmas, Pride
