Electric motor driving the rear wheels and a 7 speed transmission. LOL
Yep they llok pretty nice through the clear car cover too. I believe this car will be opened tomorrow as well as it has real door handles. If there is the slightest chance of hopping inside ..even with possible jail time I'm going for it:biggrin:
I am working tonight and have to set my alarm to wake up tomorrow @ 10 am to see the unveiling
Is it only me that sees some very different body lines down the side of the car under that cover??
Nice spy shot
Damn that interior looks hot
Looks like it's true -- no true manual. Is the silver to the right of the steering wheel a part of it or a paddle shifter?
is this real? looks very hot at first glance.
i guess ill have my questions answered in about 12 hours either way.

Where'd you dig this up? It's kind of LFA....
The Concept was Silver and the "alleged" production car looks Silver as well under the cover. Would that color have a red/black interior?
i think a red/black combo would go well with cars that are
- red
- black
- silver
im going to vote yes to red interior in the silver car tomorrow.

As for the target weight 3000lb weight, I actually believe it is achievable, or at least close to it. I recently pickup a used CRZ as my daily driver, and after doing some research on that car, I came to understand the IMA system a little more.
In many ways, the original NSX had some missed opportunities. The weight of the seat rails, headers, exhaust, mufflers, stereo, A/C were too much. Today, they have the technology to make things smaller and lighter. All that can offset the weight of the IMA package.
I was surprised the CRZ's 2700's weight with all steel body, the hood is super heavy. I don't understand why they didn't use aluminum for it like the S2k. The weight of IMA on the CRZ is rumored to be around 130 lbs. So with couple extra small motors and a slightly larger battery to power all three, I can't imagine the system will weight more than 250 extra lbs. That's basically the diet lost from normal NSX to NSX-R before touching the the lighter mods we all have done. Not to mention C32B is an over weight engine. From what I understand, Since the J35 is about 75 lbs lighter than the C32B, and with the new direct injection engine, it could be about the same weight as the J35 even with DHOC.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see; it will be interesting to see what Honda can do. I think they're really throwing all the eggs in that one basket.

It looks like the carrera gt and aventador center console, i like it now just have to wait 3 months to see it in person
Oh please oh please oh please let it have a new front end. Here's to hoping they told their designers to pack up their things.
LOL I'm actually concerned abot what might happen to my back end in jail!
Wow I wonder if that's from the Vegas dealer meeting
Hopefully they won't make the "silver" mistake twice:tongue:
They won't be using the IMA tech Vance they will be using the new ED Earth Dreams hybrid motors which is much more efficient and hopefully lighter. Plus it would be awful if the new Vette has CF body panels and the NSX doesn't.
And to everyone on the thread before info comes out today. For those looking for Honda to beat the 458 so it's a history repeat we all have to remember Ferrari was making sh*t cars back then. Honda woke them up and now they're at the top of their game. The 458 is everything except fuel efficient. Heck it's even reliable daily driver from what I hear. Hondas angle will have to be performance with high fuel efficiency for the car to fit their corporate image.
Pretty much everyone was downsizing their engines for fuel efficiency at the auto-show. Here's hoping they give stats at the show in a few hours

Leak
2 photos of a possible production version of the Acura NSX have surfaced the Internet.
Looking slightly modified than the concept, the car in these pictures could be just an update and not the production model. What we know for sure is Acura will unveil in Detroit today at 10:40 AM EST "the next evolution of the NSX Concept", along with the 2014 MDX.
The Acura NSX is being developed by Honda R&D Americas and will be manufactured in the United States at a factor in central Ohio. A Honda spokesman mentioned last month it will cost more than the 2013 Nissan GT-R which in the U.S. begins at 97,820 USD.
It will enter the production phase in 2015 and will be "a technological marvel." Most likely it will feature a hybrid powertrain with a mid-engine layout and an AWD system.
Check back later today after the revised concept is launched at NAIAS.
