New NSX testing?

Yeah looks like a RX-8 S2000 hybrid.

 

That's just a test mule at the ring (clearly based on an S2000) - all the body panels will be replaced, presumably to look like one of the two NSX concepts Honda have come up with (I prefer the earlier one).

 

:looney:

Looks like an obese S2000. I really liked the old NSX, and with a few mods, like a nicer rear spoiler, more power and a smoother shape etc, I think they could've had a winner.

 

It was too expensive though. Unfortunately - whether you agree with it or not, some people do pay for the badge and for £70K they don't want a Honda.

Wonder if both companies are playing the waiting game to see what the other releases??

 

 

 

If they are playing a waiting game then I'm fed up with their game.

The quicker they get the cars on the street, the quicker they get onto the second hand market and I can buy one.

 

When did the Supra end production? 2002? If they'd released the MKV in 2003 then it would be 4 years old now and affordable to many people.

If you're only planning on buying one second hand then you're hardly their target market, in which case I'm sure they don't mind that you're fed up in the slightest. :)

 

Also love the old car, and a CW NSX-R is on my wanted list (only one in the country I believe though :cry:)

Hope they bring a new NSX out so that the current one will depreciate to sub 10k territory :cool:

 

Would it be right for a new NSX to be 4WD though? :shrug:

 

 

Why do the concept cars always look so much cooler than the final thing? :cry:

 

The designers don't take into account things like practicality and current road safety regulations do they...

The way the car market is at the moment most of the car companys will put there new sports car's like the nsx and the new supra on the shelf because the market is dead and they won't want to invest too much money in car's that won't sell. Honda are relying on the new jazz to pick up there car sale's and won't want to invest in expensive gas guzzlers which have a limited market.
