Default 590 hp V8 Mugen Honda Legend (Acura RL) Concept
Surprised no one has posted this yet. This is definitely what Honda/Acura needs if it wants to compete in the sport luxury (RS6, E55, M5, STS-V, etc.) market :

I wonder what kind of monster pricetag that car carries?

That engine bay pic is sick. It even has the old school AP1 steering wheel. Good stuff.

Saw that earlier today and pretty much had only one reaction:
This would make not only the RL an M5 fighter, but the engine would be awesome in the next generation NSX too. 590hp N/A!!! 147.5hp per liter You have to love the stuff Honda and Mugen learn from racing.

Damn, 590hp from an NA 4.0 V8. This would be a LOT better than the m5 if its handling up to par (which Im sure it is)
