Honda teases Acura NSX supercar

Successor to the legendary original Honda NSX to make world debut in January.

The highly anticipated Acura NSX supercar will premiere at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 12.

The pictures give a glimpse of the design and specifications of the mid-engine car – there’s also a 30-second teaser video which features the sound of its three-motor, twin-turbocharged Sport Hybrid power unit.

“After three years of intensive development work we are excited to reveal this next-generation supercar – the Acura NSX – to the world,” said Ted Klaus, chief engineer and global project leader over NSX development.

“We’ve developed a human-centered supercar that responds to the will of the driver and that builds upon the NSX heritage.”

Mike Accavitti, Acura division senior vice president and general manager, said “the next-generation NSX will deliver a ‘new sports experience’ true to its heritage and to the supercar concept that originally gave rise to the name NSX”.

The NSX is being developed by a global team of engineers led by the company’s North American R&D operations in Raymond, Ohio, with design led by the Acura Design Studio in Torrance, California.

The Acura NSX will be produced exclusively at a new plant in Marysville, Ohio.
