New Acura NSX
 

When I was practicing with my autocross Lotus 7 I noticed the Honda factory team was there shaking down a new Acura NSX. I will tell you what I think I know about it....hybrid and awd.

I'll tell you what I do know about it....cool looking!

It goes pretty well too, not much slower than my D mod but it makes a whole lot more tire squealing!

no thanks

Did you notice any of their times while shaking it down? if so comparable to what?

You have a picture of it, Tom?

My best in my lotus was about 41.5. I believe they ran a 42 something on street tires. I was impressed.;)

Like this. Color was a Ferrari red. they brought along a couple of S2000s for comparison I suppose. They were running in the 44/45 second range.

The really good national podium finishing driver was at 39 in his Lotus Elan D mod. Lovely car.

Can't get the picture to download. I'll do It later when I get home.

I've been seeing them puttering around Honda's office in Torrance for a few months now. In LA street traffic it doesn't really stand out at all.

here are pics:

Meh.

Its similar to the old nsx in that when you first see it it looks like an ordinary Honda 2 door, then you look closer and it is a lot more.

Heck the styling is somewhat dramatic....but it does resemble.....a Hyundai..?;)

More like.... well, heck. Was planning on a witty riposte here, but I got nuttin'

That thing is just.... ick. No redeeming social value from an aesthetic perspective that I can see.
