One of the greatest sports car nameplates from Japan is returning for a second round with Honda's re-born NSX supercar back on track after a fiery incident in the summer.

Over the past two years, the NSX has been making motor show and even racing appearances around the world with both Acura and Honda badges in concept form. As you can see from the prototype, the changes over the most recent NSX concept are minimal with the production car to be almost identical.

The Japanese firm wants to repeat the formula of the original model by creating an everyday supercar capable of competing with anything from a Porsche 911 to a Ferrari 458 and a McLaren 620S at a price of around $100,000, or the same levels as Nissan's GT-R.

It will get a mid-mounted, twin-turbo V6 paired to an electric motor driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual clutch transmission, and twin-electric motors turning the front wheels, with the system expected to deliver more than 400 ponies.

The introduction of the new NSX is imminent and could happen as early as January at the 2015 Detroit motor show, with the car scheduled for launch by the summer of the same year. It will be built at Honda's US plant in Ohio.

Although we have yet to see the final production form of the upcoming Honda NSX, the hybrid supercar is already sold out in the UK.

How did that happen, you may ask? Well, Honda has been taking orders for the NSX for two years now. As it has already received 100 orders, which cover at least the first year’s allocation for the UK market, the automaker has stopped accepting further orders, company officials told CAR.

The 100 people who ordered an NSX in the UK have placed £5000 ($7,855) deposits for the Japanese supercar, which will be unveiled in production form at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January and will arrive in Britain in 2016.

The Honda NSX (badged as an Acura in the U.S.) will get a mid-mounted, twin-turbo V6 engine mated to an electric motor driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual clutch transmission, and twin-electric motors turning the front wheels. Combined system output is expected to exceed 400 horsepower.

The NSX will be built in the United States at Honda’s plant in Ohio and is expected to carry a starting price of around $100,000 there when it launches in mid-2015. That’s about the same as a Nissan GT-R.

In terms of design, the NSX will not be a surprise to those who have seen the Acura- and Honda-badged concepts revealed over the past two years, with changes expected to be minimal.

A lot of people have criticized the Acura NSX's long gestation period but the wait has been even longer than most people realize.

While the company unveiled the NSX concept at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, Acura announced plans for an NSX successor in the summer of 2005. At the time, the original NSX was being phased out because the company couldn't justify the costs to make it comply with "stringent 2006 emissions and equipmentregulations for the U.S., Europe and Asia."

Interestingly, the company's line hasn't changed much in the past decade as Honda's John Mendel said "We are committed to having an ultra high-performance vehicle in the Acura lineup in the future." He also noted the "... all-new model will be just as groundbreaking as the 1991 NSX."

Fast forward to today and we're still waiting for the highly-anticipated model which will feature a mid-mounted V6 engine and a Sport Hybrid Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system that has two electric motors that power the front wheels another electric motor that is integrated into the dual-clutch transmission.
