Thread: Hsc .....

  1. #1

    Default Hsc .....

    Remember the still born HSC from a few years ago? It was design concept to replace the NSX but never made it into production ... or so you thought!

    It seems the italians liked it more than Honda! Does this mean we can call this one a copy?

    Gotta be one of the best looking mid engined F cars since the 355

    regards

    What a bunch of F( as in Ferrari )KUNTS, but I guess it serves Honda right for not having the balls to put it forward.

    My personal view is that the HSC was productionised as the Lotus Evora.

    I'd need to see the Ferrari in the metal (since its predecessor was so revoltingly huuuuge) but it looks promising...

    “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

    Looks like they've taken the concept and smoother the lines out a bit to make it a bit sexier.

    Definitely looks too similar to be coincidence though.

    A very close call.
    At the end of the day though do you think the HSC would sell any better than the NSX did? By that I'm referring to the fact that it has a Honda (or Acura) badge?
    I'm sure the Fezza will sell loads.

    Sadly badge is an issue, look how easy to pick up an R8 is now a days.

    Really like the HSC its such a pity it didnt go ahead, the Ferrari is a very close copy but then again the Lexus LFA is pretty close too and its dues to come out I thnk next year.

    Are you going to wait 10 years to get one then?
