    I am pleased to read that the engine is being put in the right place.

    Whilst no great surprise, the electric gubbins are a disappointment.

    If it made it sound like this,

    or this

    then yes, but most of the modern V8 Ferraris I hear sound very artificial.

    Unnecessary cylinders aren't really Honda's thang.

    The electrickery is (according to Honda) lighter than the extremely heavy SH-AWD system used by the Rlegendo & the GT5000. Believe that if you will, but its ability to regen brake one front wheel & pass the current to another might eliminate the NSX's turn-in understeer and make it even better.

    It might also be a PoS, but I'd reserve judgment until the thing appears.

    Probably driven by Jesus H Christ & accompanied by four horsemen...

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson

    I'm not sure that would improve understeer - need to brake the inner rear as Porsche etc do.
