Automakers make halo cars to drum up excitement and show off what it can
do, but there's more to it than that. The advanced platform allows a
company's engineers to experiment with all sorts of technologies. And in
the case of the upcoming new Acura NSX, that includes new paint processes.
Speaking with Autoline in this video interview, Honda's North
American Senior VP Jon Minto talked about an innovative zirconium e-coat
which it's applying to the new NSX. Unlike some experimental paints
developed for Formula One, however, this coating is not designed to minimize drag or enhance cooling: it's designed to be more environmentally friendly.
It's one of a few measures which Honda
is implementing on the NSX before expanding it to more accessible
models, along with another process that uses fewer coats to reduce
energy consumption by 40 percent. Watch the interview with former Autoblog columnist John McElroy right here.
