The Honda NSX… Coming Soon

Japanese car giants Honda, have released the final form of their upcoming Honda NSX model. Containing a 75-degree twin-turbocharged V6, with a nine-speed dual clutch transmission, the vehicle reminds us of a McLaren P1.

The company isn’t going to reveal the total power output of the car until closer to its launch this summer, but has admitted that the max power output is ‘over 550bhp’. It will need to be if it’s going to stay with its intended sparring partners: the Ferrari 458, Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi R8 V10.

The new car has a mixed material – aluminum, steel and other stuff so secret they won’t tell us – space frame anchored by a carbon fibre floor that together reduce body flex. The body panels are formed out of both aluminium and composite.

Packaging has been key to the NSX’s performance, they say. By concentrating as much of the mass towards the middle of the car, it has, what Honda claims is, the lowest centre of gravity in its class. There is fully independent all-aluminium suspension front and rear acting on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels.

It’ll cost around $150,000 in the US when it goes on sale there this summer. so expect a similar number in Sterling when the UK price list goes live. (TopGear)

Looking likely to be released in the Summer, we look forward to finding out the full specification of the car. Oh by the way, it’ll cost around £100,000, so start saving!
