The new NSX is almost upon us and it looks incredible.

Its a hybrid with a twin-turbo 3.5 litre V6 and a dry sump. As with the original GTR and NSX, this one looks much more "supercar" than the R35. Especially with its transparent engine cover.

The profile and rear look like a cross between a McLaren and a new Corvette.

The Acura model is being built in North America. I'm hoping that the model we get is built in Japan.

Basic details and a guess of $150k shelf price available on Road and Track.

I've included a pic of the NSX concept from 2012 which looks remarkably like the final product.

Wonder what it means for the next gtr? Hybrid too?

Nissan has all but confirmed that the next GTR will be a hybrid. http://m.drive.com.au/motor-news/2015-nissan-gtr-hybrid-confirmed-20131108-2x5wh.html

Most of the Prelude Australia guys (of which there aren't many left), think it's horrid.

I guess they're thinking this is too far removed from any Honda sports car appearance of former years.

At least Carlos Ghosn insisted on the afterburner lights on the R35 and from the side, the front end has the same bonnet shape as the R33.

I like the idea that the future R36 will be pared down to 14**Kg.

Back on thread, this new NSX/Acura could badged as a Veloster Turbo and I'd believe them. And that's despite the fact that I like Honda engineering...

The meeting, they look like they're trying to go Lamborghini-ish with their styling.

Trying to get into supercar territory.

I don't mind it, but for the price(let's face it, it's going to be very exxy) I'd possibly look at said lambo.

I think Honda haven't made another future classic here, it will be a car that just fades into the past due to it's extremely generic look. They just bowed to the norm of aerodynamics today and threw out most traces of the past. There will always be the Honda fanboys loving it though.

When the new GTR was first shown off why did everyone get so horned up over it and why has it been so successful?

I don't mind the look of it, and I reckon it will be a decent performer (but then again I'm a Honda fanboi)

The biggest problem as I see it is that the original NSX was such a surprise when it hit the market - nobody expected the levels of performance from it. That's probably the main reason it's gained the level of notoriety / status it has. Now that the element of surprise is gone, everybody is expecting another giant killer. If it achieves this, then it's a case of "yeh, so what"? If it doesn't deliver giant killing performance, then it will be remembered as a dud.

Not an easy task.

^Yup. It's like trying to follow up a killer debut album. The original NSX is the Appetite for Destruction of the motoring world. My biggest fear is the new NSX is the "Axl Rose world tour" of the motoring world.

      Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list

      Front LSD Quaife , how streetable ?- QDF3L Owners

      Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
