as quoted from temple of v-tec rumor&news section:
"German newspaper reports that a Japanese engineer died yesterday during a test comparison (everyday driving) between a new Honda prototype and a Ferrari F1, both with to japanese engineers. The accident happened near Dortmund in Germany, when both cars had to reduce speed on the autobahn to about 75 mph (120 kph) becouse of rain. While passing some trucks, the Ferrari broke out and slid under the middle rails. The co-drivers head was cut down, the driver was heavily injured.
The Honda was not involved inthe crash - the car was reported to be a "NRX" with nearly 300hp and a price of 190 000 DM on one of its last test drives.
The F355 has wider front wheels than the F360 and the NSX. Maybe that can lead earlier to "aquaplaning", as we call it here. The "NRX" didn't have problems - so I expect the next NSX-generation to have about the same wheel combo as the F360 has: Very small in front, big meat at the rears."
Well I wrote it word for word and I'm not sure if the NRX is a typo or not? Crappy to hear news about the next NSX becouse of somebody's death. Also not happy to hear about it only having 300hp??? That better be wrong? Well if it was the NSX's last test ride as quoted then that means it's on it's way...maybe next year.
