I'm not a turbo-whizz, but it doesn't look like Honda have gone for an axial compressor in the V (as per the not-quite-sorted McLaren F1 engine).

The news that there are "10 heat exchangers" all round the car is ... as alarming as it is reassuring. Not sure this will be an NSX to enjoy owning 20 years down the line.

The goal is to keep the CoM down low so putting the turbos that little bit higher wouldn't really help with that. Also, being a twin turbo, I very much doubt there's room in the middle for both.

Key thing for me is that they are claiming it has more electrical power than any previous acura hybrid. Since the RLX had 120bhp of electrical assistance, and since the engine is confirmed to be 3.5 litres, I'd be very surprised if the north of 550bhp actually means it will end up with over 600bhp. I think they were holding out confirming to see what the 488GTB puts out but revealing something to give people an idea of the ballpark.

Getting much more excited by this now.

At last, it's now being tested again at the the "green hell".

Surely someone, somewhere on this planet has now got a video and or sound track of the screaming V6 in action.
When you consider all the media technology that surround us in this day and age I find it impossible to believe it hasn't been recorded and put up online.
Or is everyone simply just following orders by Honda to push this great white elephant silently world wide from crate to crate to build up the hype ???
