I've known this for awhile....
Secrets out! Motor Trend
recently reported that Acura has been developing a smaller more agile
NSX along with the regular NSX for quite some time now. No, it’s not
an S2000 successor, but a Mid-Engine, AWD car that is set to blow the
doors off it’s competition, and one that could actually save the NSX
project all together.
When Acura first started developing this car, it had a major “Maybe”
factor. At first it was just a few R&D ideas thrown together. But
soon Acura came to the realization that this project could actually
work.
We don’t have any concrete information on this car as of yet, but the
“Baby NSX” is likely to be powered by a Turbo-Charged, Direct injection
engine. Developing the big NSX wasn’t all a waste though, as Acura
will be using many of the technologies from that project and directly
fuse it to the it’s baby brother. Think of it as a smaller Hybrid of
two NSX’s. This will also help recoup some of the costs involved in
the years spent R&D’s the bigger car.
Expect to see the smaller NSX on dealer lots by 2017 with a price range between $50,000 & $60,000. Not bad!
