The electric motor is there to provide extra power to any wheel that needs it during high speed cornering. Its there to balance out the car and improve stability in cornering

Leave it for the aftermarket community to remove the batteries and put a big ass turbo kit on the car to bring it back to life

It's there to also provide super car like acceleration according to the press release. How long do you honestly think you can maintain that performance ?

Now THIS is a Supercar!!! That NSX prototype is garbage!
"NSX garbage?". I'm surprised man. A man with your knowledge so quickly slamming this new super car from Honda.
I'm not slamming the performance of the new nsx. To be honest I have zero knowledge of the powerplant it contains. I'm basing it on aesthetics. Honda has the ability to make some amazing looking vehicles and has in the past. For them to stamp out this as their super car would be embarrassing.... That hsv LOOKS like a Supercar. The nsx....not so much.

i don't think we're slamming the NSX, it's just that Honda gave us the
expectations of what they can do , NSX is for the mass , so that would sell better.
besides, i think anyone that can buy the NSX will look
at a Porsche GT3 first.

i would deffinately buy a NSX over the LF-A though.

and thanks for sharing the pics of the car show. going there this week.

still love my S2k !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_918

If Porsche is doing why not Acura?
Performance seems amazing (albeit a 750k car)
I just hope Acura does a better job in this hybrid than it did on the CRZ!

I like how the new NSX looks. I wish the brand would take more cues from its halo car.
Doesn't seem like the RLX looks much like the NSX.
