This addresses the single largest complaint about the original NSX, which has always been its lack of power.
Just like the old one, will be a technological window for Honda "This new sports car will be the first of a new generation" concluded the director of Honda, Takeo Fukui.
With the V10 the new NSX will be the most powerful honda ever made.The carmaker is aiming for the top in producing engines.
The new Honda/Acura NSX will move upmarket, and will target Aston Martin.
2008 NSX II will offer a 4.5 Liter V10 and a 3.6 V6 , all wheel drive with prices around $100,000.

The mid-engine Honda HSC concept from the 2003 Tokyo show the way toward the next NSX.
The use of Honda’s "Super Handling AWD" system is also a possibility.
SH-AWD is capable applying a greater percentage of overall torque to the rear wheels in aggressive driving situations.
The SH-AWD technology is fantastic for high performance vehicles. The technology was first used on Acura’s RL model. It worked so well, that they have decided to apply the technology to some of their more high-performance vehicles.
Honda plans to raise its global sales by nearly 25 percent over the next three years to four million vehicles a year.Its strategy is based around offering clean, economical models, more hybrids and alternative-fuel vehicles.

The old one
Honda ended production of the NSX in 2005, 15 years after the first NSX was built. The last cars were built in September for the European market and December for North America. For most of its life, it was the most expensive Japanese car in many markets.

I do beleive that the picture is actually the Honda HSC they had a while ago, but they say that the new NSX may retain more of the looks of the HSC.

however i could be wrong

If i know honda, it should be one of the best production engines ever. Maybe i'll get one. If i'm lucky, it'll be the same week i win the lottery and get approved to go to mars.

Isn't this really old? I know i heard the v10 rumors (or statement actually because it came from Honda) back in the SHO days.

Very old, the car is definitely gonna have a V10. The new rummor is now it may be mounted upfront

and more of a touring car like a Ferrari 550 or the new Porsche Americana. If true it sucks SHO balls because the NSX should always be ultra light mid engine.

im sure since the car isnt marketed to the mass public and only a select few there will be a few complaints within the nsx community that will maybe sway honda into leaving it mid engine and ultra light like a true supercar should be.
