| HONDA NSX supercar Concept |
Developed by Honda's design studios in California and Japan, the new NSX is a svelte-looking supercar with an exciting purpose: it heralds Honda's new supercar. The new NSX, standsfor New Sports Experimental and Honda is equipping its newcomer with a hybrid powertrain.
Like the prior NSX, the new NSX is now believed to have a V6 engine of around 3.5 litre capacity, producing in the vicinity of a 400 bhp in total. The NSX's Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® (Super Handling All Wheel Drive™) hybrid system will deliver handling performance unmatched by previous AWD systems.
The car uses all-new direct-injection VTEC V6 linked to a dual clutch transmission and uses an electric motor drive unit and a bilateral torque-adjustable control system to generate positive or negative torque to the front wheels during cornering.
Takanobu Ito, president and CEO of Honda who led the development of Honda’s first NSX supercar, said: 'Like the first NSX, we will again express high performance through engineering efficiency. In this new era, even as we focus on the fun to drive spirit of the NSX, I think a supercar must respond positively to environmental responsibilities.'
In a surprise move, he also announced the new NSX would be developed and built in a new facility in Ohio, US by Honda R&D Americas, with production set to begin before 2015.
