New Honda NSX confirmed

Honda's R&D chief Mibe Toshihiro has confirmed to Autocar that work is underway to produce a new sportscar in the mould of the iconic Honda NSX - and separate reports suggest it could be on sale as early as next year.

Responding to comments made by Honda president Takanobu Ito about the new NSX, Toshihiro said that Honda was ready to start work on the next generation of its electric and hybrid vehicles, and suggested that a new sportscar would be evaluated as part of that project.

"We are now at a point where we can consider the next generation of electric and hybrid vehicles," said Toshihiro while speaking at the Global Automotive Forum in Chengdu, China. "President Ito has already mentioned a new NSX, and we have looked at that in the R&D department. It would be an interesting project - electric or hybrid vehicles can be fun as well as economical. More than that I cannot say."

Ito previously suggested that the new NSX would be a different vehicle to the original NSX, which weighed 1350kg and had 290bhp.

Reports have suggested that a concept car hinting at the new Honda NSX could be shown at next month's Tokyo motor show, with a production car being shown early in 2012, ahead sales beginning later next year. However, timescales for the project are said to be flexible, as Japan continues to recover from disruption following the earthquake earlier this year.

Honda has also confirmed it will put its first full electric vehicle and a plug-in hybrid on sale in limited numbers in Japan, China and the US next year.

From all the rumors of what a new NSX could be, and the way Acura's/Honda's look now, I'd rather not see a new NSX next year

This car could be the turning point for Honda/Acura, look forward to it if it really gets into production.

Hopefully it looks a lot like Tony Stark's "Avengers" ride.

A turning point to me would be to produce a car that isn't butt ugly, and is adequately powered and equipped. The NSX is a unique vehicle that will have appeal, but will be out of reach for most. Not sure that will win Honda/Acura any monthly sales contests!

This is not a confirmation.

This is more :v8acura:.

This is going to suck big hairy balls like the Insight and CR-Zzzzzz (old CRX to new CR-Z = old NSX to new NSX [if ever] ).

I am not moved one bit...

Yep, it's not going to happen.

Probably call it the NSZ. I agree with the above, I am scared to see what Honda would produce; everything lately has been touched by the UGLY stick.

The way Honda has been hitting home runs, if they aim for the NSX, perhaps they'll develop the 2nd gen. RSX Type S and should just call it that instead (ugly beak included).

I am excited to see this new car go head to head against the GTR. If you saw the filming of the new iron man you saw what could be a concept for the new NSX. Its bad ass

Fizzboy7 Oct 13, 2011 01:38 PM

So that's the 8th time we've been promised a new NSX. There should be punishment for not keeping promises.
