"Before the NSX supercars were crap"
While we're on the subject of don't likey, not only are the wheels are too big but I don't like the design (too fussy). This (massive wheels) is a very common problem with concept cars though and apart from being easy to fix they rarely make it to production.
Today's Autocar Mag leads with the NSX story and the "Super-Light" tag. Super-Light is going to super-difficult with all the batteries and motors on board and weight is of course is the enemy of performance, ride, handling... everything!
I wonder what the target weight is? My guess is they'll struggle to get it under 1500Kg :think:

The older I get, the faster I was
Doesn't seem to be many people on this forum amazed with it's looks. I am not a massive fan of it as it looks to have taken design hints from the previous generation civic. For me the last attempt that didn't happen (The HSV-10) was a far better looking car and of course was suppose to have that wonderfull sounding V10 in road trim. Missed a trick as far as i am concerned. Reminder of what they could of done http://www.pistonheads.com/news/defa...?storyId=21372
91 Honda Nsx
90 VW Golf 16v (Track Hack)
Ahh but that's the the race only version, actually a pure racing car. The road version was this dogs dinner below (see pic).
AND most V10's sound strange, sort of "moany", only the Carrera GT and maybe LFA have cracked the exhaust note. AND, AND a big NA motor is soo noughties (2000-2010)!
I like the latest one but there's nothing that special about the shape.
Good job we all like different things isn't it... vive la differance

IIRC, the Gallardo was quoted at about 1,350kg, which surprised me with its too many cylinders & 4WD & stuff.
Presuming a similar package, and Li-ions or ultracaps, it might not be tooo much more. Especially if it's an ally/cf spaceframe like those BMW iPod things.
It's down to how light/how expensive, I suppose.

“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 did a fair amount of moaning in the V10 ring taxi
Don't all shoot me at once but I don't think our cars are the first word in good looking in fact I don't think any Honda car has been good looking, yet we have 3 (Honda cars that is) and I'm trying really hard for my parents to get one as well.I like the latest one but there's nothing that special about the shape.

To me it's the whole package I love.
2005 NA2 NSX, Berlina Black with full red leather interior.
2016 NC1 NSX, Casino White Pearl with red semi-aniline leather and alcantara.
Below is the reply I got from my Honda contact.
Hi Paul - great tohear from you, and I'm pleased to know that there are lots of excited owners inNSXCB - I'm excited too!
At this time, thestage belongs to Acura - the NSX Concept launch in Detroit was central to theirNew Product Strategy for North America, and it's been great to see it reportedas the 'star of the show'. However, there is a clear commitment that this carwill be sold as a Honda in other countries. We don't have any specific detailson plans for Europe just yet, and it's not something I'm currently involvedwith, but I'll make sure that your name is on top of the enquiry list! We'll beshowing the Honda NSX Concept at Geneva in March, I believe, and, as with Acurain the US, it signals the start of an exciting new product roll-out in Europe(Civic, CR-V, Accord, 'Type R', plus a few little surprises...)
When I learned thatAcura were going to use the 'NSX Concept' name, I knew that it was going to besomething special - mid-engined, light weight, amazing driving experience - andthe SH-AWD + Hybrid capability really provides a recipe worthy of the name. AsMr Ito was heavily involved in the original NSX, he wouldn't want to use thename on something unworthy of the moniker (it's massively revered inside Hondaas well as by its legions of fans around the world) - I'm sure there'll beplenty of debate about the suitability of any successor to wear that badge, soI see the deliberate use of the NSX tag as a clear and bold statement ofintent. No pressure, then.
Anyway, we'replanning for a happier new year in 2012, and it's great to start with some goodnews. Look forward to keeping in touchas more information emerges.
Kind regards,

So who wants to come to the Geneva car show with me?
