Hi all,

Info zum neuen NSX, der auf der Tokyo Motor Show praesentiert wird (angeblich noch Studie)...

Honda dreht auf... der NSX gehoert immer noch zu meinen absoluten Lieblingen... einfach Kult... allein die Story, dass bei der Praesentation des ersten NSX 1989 diverse Ingenieure mit Magneten rund um den Wagen sind, um Stellen zu suchen, die magnetisch (weil nicht aus Aluminium) sind... und quasi unverrichteter Dinge wieder abziehen mussten...

Honda NSX–it’s back and better than ever

Honda’s NSX shook the supercar establishment but it’s hoping to raise the stakes even higher with its successor. At next week’s Tokyo Motor Show, Honda will slide the covers off this sleek HSC concept – the blueprint for a new model due in showrooms in 2006.

The Honda Sports Concept is a thinly veiled preview of the next NSX using a development of the existing NSX’s high-revving 3.2-litre V6 tuned to develop ‘more than 300bhp’. The engine is mounted amidships driving the rear wheels in the classic supercar tradition.

Honda’s show star mixes strikingly Italianate looks with hints of the current NSX. The front is punctuated by two gaping air intakes and bulging headlamps, while the rear has hints of Ferrari Enzo about it. Those scissor doors are ‘production feasible’ according to exterior designer Toshinobu Minami.

At 4250mm, the HSC is shorter than the current NSX, but slightly wider (1900mm) and lower (1140mm). Minami told Autocar: ‘The long wheelbase and short overhangs help interior space and stability. We didn’t intentionally create an Italian look – our remit was to make the ultimate Honda sports car.’

Honda has not disclosed the HSC’s weight, but carbonfibre and aluminium construction is guaranteed to shave off the kilos. Also absent are performance figures, but with more power and less weight, expect 180mph and 0-60mph in 4.5sec.

One of the hardest challenges will be to repeat the NSX’s unique mix of everyday usability and supercar thrills. Traditional double wishbone suspension is likely to be retained and the show car wore chunky 245/35 ZR19 rubber up front and 295/30 ZR20 at the rear.

Settle into the cabin and carbonfibre, aluminium and Nubuck leather adorn most surfaces. Lexus-like glowing dials are dominated by a tacho red-lined at 8000rpm and drivers nudge a paddle to swap gears.

Apart from a handbrake built into the centre console and an –iDrive style system, the cabin is conventional, hinting that this concept car is closer to production than you might imagine.

Although a hit with critics, the NSX has never made a big impression on buyers: last year, just 26 Brits bought one. However, a new model with a price close to today’s £60,000 tag is designed to rekindle interest in Honda’s supercar.

Gruss,

Jan

the boost is strong in my family. my car has it, my club has it...and my friends...yes,it's you - you've got it,too

Ja, schon ein geiles Gefährt!

Ein Freund von mir hat mal einen Unfall NSX gekauft und komplett restauriert.
Der Wagen macht schon Spaß!

Aber neu ist er halt einfach zu teuer

Also ich finde die Studie geilo.
Der "alte" hat mir auch gut gefallen, bis auf das Heck - pfui!

Gruss Patrick

Cooles Auto ..... aber leider preislich nicht mein Ding!!

.....aber vielleicht, kommt ja dann ein neuer Teil von "Gateway in Stockholm" mit dem neuen NSX.....

Grüsse aus der Schweiz und ein schönes Wochenende

Also ich find das Teil richtig cool!
Liegt voll im Trend der Zeit: Ecken und Rundungen stilistisch optimal in Szene gesetzt. Wieder mal ein Auto über dessen Styling man noch lange reden wird!

Absolut nötig, denn der alte NSX ist meiner Meinung nach total ohne Pfeffer und bei dem Preis totalst uninteressant!

mfg Bernd

Let's boost the enemy...
