With A-VTEC, it should be a lot easier to rig up VCM, although I have personal difficulties with the stresses of a dead cylinder bank. Especially with what is in effect then a straight 5.
The GT5000 is also rumoured to be around 1500Kg! Barely more than an NSX.
If any of this is true, it's gonna be another Honda masterpiece. The car looks tiny, so who knows?

As usual, by the time I can afford one, it would be close to end of life, and so cheap that the ricers can get to them and really fowl things up. Already happening here with the S - some really hideous things are being done to them down here, really hideous.

You've got the Honda mist bad, haven't you?
What masterpiece have Honda ever created?
Apart from that white robot which can walk upstairs, of course
I'm interested to see what the NSX is like though,reading the reviews it seems power won't be lacking at least.

^Nice, list.
Where is the Subaru line up of things that make you go "wow"? Oh yes, a second fiddle 4wd turbo econo box(er) with a rice wing resting on the laurels of great rally drivers.

Everyone running strokers and limited Cylinders allowed.
So Honda just stick two fingers up to everyone and developed the NR750
Ok, whilst it won races, it didn't steal the trophies from the two strokes, but think of the data and processes Honda gained from it.
Oh, I also missed the Insight and the FCX Clarity
Are these relevant to the new NSX?
Of course!
Forget about Carbon and titanium and all these fancy materials, and company can come up with those.
It's the manufacturing processes Honda use are what makes them so good.

That's just a list of plop as far as I'm concerned, apart from the robot, I can't believe you put the prelude in there too. Pissing myself as I type, cheers for a big laugh
This is what a masterpiece in engineering terms looks like
This is what a rice rocket engineering looks like
It's the mighty Prelude engine bay, pass the oily rag and the big hammer please
