I believe the Temerario will be the 2nd cheapest hybrid super car that has 3 electric motors. It's crazy to think how no car with the same formula as the NC1 that's cheaper has been released since the original NC1 was. And now Lamborhini will offer it for around $300K but 9 years later. (The...

That's absurd to blame the PPF. Most key fobs transmit at 400 MHz or so which will travel right thru vinyl without any issue. I'm guessing the dealer prefers not to to submit warranty claims without a error code because Acura will make them jump thru more hoops in order to collect the money...

When I zoomed in on the images of the battery and inverter components I was impressed to see "Made in Japan" and the Panasonic logo on many of the parts. Panasonic is without question the highest quality Li-Ion manufacturer. None of those LG battery components like GM uses in the C8 e-ray...

Bring a Trailer auction results do not represent market price. They only represent the "market price" within the context of Bring a Trailer itself. The reason why is that there are many types of buyers who never buy their cars using auction sites. Thus only a subset of the true potential...

Gordon said that he plans to use that same Cosworth GMA V12 engine in all the future sports cars he makes for as long as possible in order to maximize his investment. I agree about the styling. When I first saw the T.50 and T.33 I though the style was a little too subdued. However the more I...

The new Tourbillon is beautiful looking, but I don't think you should compare it to an NC1. Bugatti is more of a GT car than a sports car. They are extremely heavy cars with many of their models weighing 5000 lbs. They provide the most luxurious car with the very highest levels of performance...

I'd still like to learn more about how the Cosworth / Honda relationship worked when designing this motor. While we know that Cosworth manufactured the core engine parts and that Honda assembled the engines, we don't know to what degree this is a Honda engine vs a Cosworth engine. I've seen...

Agreed. Honda's options list was far too limited. Even the mass produced C8 provides a lot more options! And I believe they may have initially held back some of the often requested interior options (e.g. contrast stitching, colored seat belts) so they would have something new they could...

If Honda had provided a huge palette of upcharge options (a la Porsche) then the numerous NC1 critics would have had a field day with that! They'd have been telling us how the most heavily optioned NC1 costs a whopping $300,000 and how only an idiot would pay that much for a product bearing the...

Another source for these badges is the souvenir that Honda gave to attendees of the NSX Fiesta in Japan to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the NSX. It is a miniature mat made of the same material as the real full size NSX-R car mats. Plus it includes a full size NSX-R carpet badge attached...

There's no evidence of that which I can find. Nobody is saying this anywhere else on-line. Additionally all of the Honda web sites in Europe that I looked at continue to advertise the car and the European on-line configurator is still working...

I suggest buying part # 32106-SL0-000. It is the wiring harness with the grommet attached. This allows you to properly seal the hole from water intrusion. Plus it allows you to avoid destroying the wiring on your OEM wing. Just cut connector off the end of new harness, cut the connector off...

I've had the black cap on my car for many years. It was originally bought from Japan as an NSX-R part. When I measure it I get slightly over 15mm between the two seals. So if this is truly an error on Honda's fault, the problem has been present for a long time.

I recommend you check to see if the parts are available from Honda dealers in Japan. 90% of the time that US Acura dealers have told me that a part is discontinued I have been able to order it from Japan. It is possible to ship airbags overseas but the the shipping cost will likely be very high.
