Automakers are trying to convince us they can make hybrid
sportscars that are as economical as diesel econoboxes on tiny wheels,
but still offer all the thrills. We’re not so convinced, because once
you actually do want to get on the gas, that power, be it electric or
fuel-based, has to come from something.
But Honda doesn’t seem to be going back on its word and is making the next NSX into an all-wheel drive hybrid.
The NSX has been off the radar for a number of years now, and the
Japanese have to actually prove their car is worth our attention. And to
do this they will unleash it onto the track.
But the racing version of the NSX might be a conventionally-powered, non-hybrid car, at least according to an AutoGuide report.
According to them Honda will race their sportscar in the American Grand
Am series, which currently does not allow hybrids. However, a new class
could be created soon, as Mazda has announced a diesel racer for next
year.
What’s more, the NSX will race in Japan in the Super GT Series, which
would also forbid a hybrid AWD car under current regulations.
