The info just keeps rolling in:

"Honda says it will build a V10 engine; new powerplant scheduled for NSX replacement
YUZO YAMAGUCHI | Automotive News
Posted Date: 7/20/05

TOKYO -- Honda Motor Co. has long maintained that it wouldn't develop a V8 production engine.

But it now says it will develop a V10.

Honda will install the powerful engine in a successor of the current NSX sports car, which is powered by a V6. Production of the current NSX will stop at the end of this year.

The V10 will be more powerful than any other engine Honda has built for its production vehicles.

The NSX successor will debut in "three to four years," says Takeo Fukui, Honda's president. He would not elaborate the plan. The new sports car will be sold worldwide.

It isn't known if Honda plans to use the V10 in any other vehicles."What we're aiming at next is not a V8 but a V10," says Motoatsu Shiraishi, president of Honda R&D Co., Honda's engineering arm. "We've got to be the top of a top (group) in producing engines.""

I wonder if it will have a button on it that says "Race"... or a Knob like in the F430.

They need to make a supercar that can last another 10 years. Alot of money is being placed on this project.

It also needs to be reliable and follow suit with Honda's engineering philosophy.
