2008 model? That seems a bit early. I remember somewhere saying the new NSX wont surface until 2008 (as a 2009 model).

but 4.5L V10 sounds awesome. Knowing honda, it'll probably sound and rev like their F1 engines. It would be awesome to see the nsx and the LF-A go head to head

It's about to get interesting over in Japan! GTR, LF-A, and NSX!

I'm just looking foward to 2016-17 when the prices of these next gen japanese sports cars in the used market will be 50-60ish and I may be able to swing one!

If the new NSX looks like the pic above, then I like it better than what we've seen so far of the LF-A already, assuming both will have a V10 . . .

It looks better than the LF-A prototypes running the 'Ring.

I like the current NSX better than what we've seen so far of the LF-A. Heck, I even like the current Corolla better than what we've seen so far of the LF-A. I just hope that production model looks nothing like the concept.

??? That's the HSC concept in the pics above and I believe it was reported that Honda cancelled the project already?

I do hope they produce it though. Looks 10x better than the LF-A production car (judging from the spy shots; the concept looks good to me) and the GT-R for sure.

it definitely looks like an evolution of the NSX.

Who knows..maybe a detuned V10 will land itself in the RL. That'll stop people from bickering how Honda doesn't have anything larger than a V6 in their line-up

not to mention a bit of Noble M15 as well

this is hot

i think LF-A will be more of a GT than the NSXII
