C.e.o Demands To Be Faster!

[LEANBAC]

Honda's answer to the Nissan GT-R and Lexus LF A hit the ring earlier this week when our spies caught a black and white clad NSX prototype powering round the circuit. We had been questioning what kind of performance we can expect from Japan's newest supercar but now those questions have been answered after information has surfaced that Takeo f*kai, CEO of Honda demanded the development team build an NSX that is faster than both its Japanese rivals.

That would mean a lap time of at least 7 minutes 28 seconds would need to be achieved around the Nürburgring , that will certainly be a challenging task to undertake. Honda are going a little further upmarket than the GT-R with the package found under the hood with a front-mid mounted 5.5-liter V10 engine producing in the region of 550 ponies and 420 lb ft of torque.

Maximum efficiency for the engine will be achieved with a cylinder deactivation system when the car does not require all of its power such as at low speed. An eight-speed paddle-shifted automatic transmission is expected to pass the power to the wheels via a new version of Honda's Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system (SH-AWD), and use lots of aluminum in its construction to keep weight down. Unfortunately, by the time the NSX arrives, the GT-R V-Spec will have moved the bar again.

The Honda/Acura NSX is still 2 years away but it will be interesting to see if they can once gain become Japan's ultimate supercar.

LOVE THE SOUND

The good news is it should be here in Australia in time for our grandchildren and should only cost around $300K

All I can say is I simply LOVE the sound of a V10! Looks like a cool car but if it's anything like the GTR we'll see it in 2015.

its funny how a few years back you could only dream about a japanese car making 410kw from factory

its about time they scraped the '' 206kw gentlemen's agreement ''

that looks and sounds a lot like an aston martin, almost to the point where im thinking someone has mistaken it for an astin martin.

With petrol costs hitting $10 a litre.
