"The value of life can be measured by how many times you soul has been deeply stirred" - Soichiro Honda
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 you want to argue that The Best Car in the World is a supercar, go ahead. But there is only one that makes the grade. Only one that's built properly.
Gordon Murray knows.
Rowan Atkinson knows.
It's the Honda NSX."
(J. Clarkson)
...a few more cylinders would be nice too...
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
Lets wait & see but remember it is a concept.
