You're probably right. it just seems odd since the car is fully revealed and all over their site even http://www.honda.co.jp/NSX/new/. What value does this have? I guess it might just simply be the official Japanese launch.

There appears to be some kind of live debut of a Super Sport version of the NSX next Thursday. I don't know too much else since with it being difficult to translate from Japanese. Press Release: spr.ly/6016BFYQe<strike></strike>

Nice job N Spec! I also wanted to bring the patent drawings to life but didn't have the skills to do it. You came very close to the drawings with the exception that it doesn't look as elongated as the patents would show. I think the black bottom trim surrounding the car adds even more to the...

Can you elaborate? I imagine you're referring to the CTR engine going in a new car that uses the transverse layout the new NSX originally planned for. Pretty potent engine if it's in a lightweight package. I hope this baby comes to fruition... patented last May and would be nice if it were...

I realize this is a separate thing. I just meant IN ADDITION, wouldn't it be nice if the rumors were true that they were working on a lower powered, less expensive model to appease Honda dealers. I don't think I'm too off topic here if they incorporate even some of the tech from modular big...

Yes! Though even as an S2000 owner, I would shell out the extra for an MR platform over a FR this time around. Perhaps something more affordable than the 4C, Evora, and Boxster and similar in performance. It's probably asking a lot, but they set a good example with the S660 as a fairly...

Great news, though I hope the rumors are true that the S2000 / Baby NSX vehicle is the new focus in Ohio with the NSX being completed. A more affordable car for us regular folk would be nice. :)

This is a design study, so I wouldn't be TOO critical. I just hope Acura does take some cues from this and like that they are thinking about making their cars a little more edgy and sporty. At least it's not glowing!

I think this will be a cool concept. I'm glad Honda is playing around with more F1/race inspired designs to spice up the brand again. The question is, how much of these design traits will carry over to a production car? Source: http://www.autocar.c...w-new-track-car

Nice nod to Senna there with the NSX ;) Jenson and Fernando too. Great ad.

I feel the S660 variant that's US bound (if it even comes) will be something like a 1.0L S1000, and not the car we are talking about. The car that fits in between the range of the S660/S1000 and NSX sounds like it will be entirely different. From what we can piece together, it sounds like it...

Nice rendering. I'm sold on this design. My only gripe here is the sideskirt / front lip is too defined to where it feels aftermarket. I don't mind the black trim to give the illusion of a more slender body though. I think it's done more tastefully on the model at Honda SV.

That's a good point. It looks a little more conventional than the physical display at Honda SV. Maybe the patent renderings actually represents a closer to production concept that will be revealed at a motor show like Tokyo. Honda's concepts at these shows lately have been closer to their...

Yup. While that makes me lean towards this not coming to fruition, it's interesting that they registered the design patent in the US on May 27. I wonder if it's just so they can publicly share it as a model in their Silicon Valley research center without worry of their design being stolen, or...

Awesome, thanks! Also..

Honda's official Twitter just posted this from their new Silicon Valley research facility. I think they let the cat out of the bag. I slapped together a comparison with the patent drawing that recently leaked and they look pretty close. Source...

While he may not be driving it, he's confirmed by Honda UK for being there for their display tomorrow. He said he'd drive some beauties, so I wonder what cars he's referring to...could just be a McLaren P1. But possibly something Honda related...

Ah. Thanks for the clarification!

http://jalopnik.com/hondas-goodwood-stage-is-full-of-real-life-toy-cars-1713907709 Also, Jenson Button had a cryptic tweet that may imply he will drive the NSX and Civic Type R at Goodwood. I imagine it will be between different Honda or McLaren vehicles. Just my own speculation...

I think if this had to be compared to an existing car, it would be something between an S660 (MR) / S2000 (FR, though nearly MR). Like the NSX, the S2000 was under Shigeru Uehara's R&D team. It doesn't really matter though, as it may be branded as something completely different. Pretty...

JonBoy on the S2ki forums says.. I don't know where he got that information but I'll do some digging. I guess there's not much room for error there when it's almost 2016 already. :p

It looks like someone made some renderings based on the patent drawings. I'm really liking it. Source: http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2015/06/the-baby-honda-nsx-could-look-like-this.html

Nice work Jhae. Thanks for posting. Interesting about the new model... new S2000 perhaps? Ready to upgrade my AP2 if it's good. :)

Was he accurate? I was just wondering that, since I'm kinda new at observing posts on TOV. I've been watching the new NSX development, but more the S2000 successor to replace mine. RolledAnNSX has been posting tidbits/rumors on it a lot lately, but I keep wondering if what he's saying is...

Here are some actual photos from the event in January. There aren't a lot of pictures from it since it was private. That's probably why the only one we can see is that oddly Photoshopped looking photo. Edit: Interesting that he's in almost the same pose, with the same drink though. :biggrin:
