while this sound is probably "enhanced" I can't hear the turbos spooling which means it is probably very low pressure turbo delivering ~400 hp without electric motors

NSX coming to Detroit 2015
- Thread starter stevenlucksek
- Start date
01/12/15 release date another year before you can get your hands on it kiddies.
What nonsense.
The revs are barely climbing, the accelerator could be just squeezed for a slow overtake type of maneuver. The boost target could be zero at that point meaning the turbos are just about idling, no reason why you'd hear them at all. In addition, most standard production cars have noise and emissions regulations to adhere to which usually result in quite restrictive breathing. There aren't many production standard turbocharged cars where you can hear the turbos.
Even the stock GTR turbos, which are not low pressure, are almost inaudible when the car is stock.
I always thought there's no way the new NSX could possibly live up to its illustrious predecessor, but this picture right here is making me doubt that theory... I am excited beyond belief..

By the way, filed rotors are bad as they create stress risers which result in much quicker cracking. Got jokes as you describe they should be cast.

I could be wrong but your only assumption that they are low pressure turbos is not being able to hear them. As I said above that sounds clip doesn't sound like the gas is pressed to any significant degree and even if it were, in all other high power turbo cars out now, in stock form, you can't hear the turbos. I've driven the Gtr, all breeds of 911 turbo and recently the 650s and mp4, and none had audible turbos.
I think you are jumping to a massive conclusion, but it is possible, just unlikely based on that evidence.

we'll see

There are two versions of the video. One has bright, steel-looking brake rotors. Those appear to be CGI to my untrained eye. I suspect to make them more visible. The other version of the video shows dark cross-drilled rotors. They appear to be typical carbon rotors, again to my untrained eye.

Booked my flight for the show and hoping to arrive early enough to the press conference to score a front row seat on January 12th. Car looks hot!
Show off!! It's a shame we can't go together. Dinner at MGM casino Monday or Tuesday evening?
this is recorded from outside no, quite close to the engine I'd say? I'm talking about noise when you are outside close to the engine compartment.
I find it hard to believe they will shutdown the plant after all the money they spent building it. They spent over $1 million just on the floor to keep it museum quality. That website does not list any source.
I PERSONALLY know that is complete BS....

The release date will be near the time when the dealers' master mechanics get training for it in OH. If it's made on confirmed orders only then sales will be very low because most non nsx owners will want to test drive one beforehand. It will be like the LFA, a halo car that doesn't sell.

Actually I believe the LFA cost north of 450,000. Atleast here in Canada but even in the States it was definitely more than $400,000. The only thing nice to said about it was the incredible sound it made. Other than that, it was just seriously outclassed.
I'm saying it wont sell if its made to order. Just like LFA couldn't find one on a showroom floor if someone wanted to test drive it first. Almost every Audi dealer had a few R8's throughout the year, don't think some dealers would have sold any if they were made to order.
