to say the new Acura NSX
is highly anticipated would be like saying that dinner is highly anticipated
after he skipped
lunch and breakfast and maybe dinner the day before here it is after not one but
two concept cars at previous Detroit auto shows
we have the all-new reimagined Acura NSX
reprises a storied accurate nameplate from the 1990s
and early 2000's let's take a look at everything now like the original in a
section both concepts that
preview this car a mid-engine car very low slung to the ground here
accurate shield like grill kinda gets to its smallest point yet it's almost just
kinda pissed right here below the Acura logo
you get around the side obviously huge vendors cooling ducts here
they actually work the ones behind the front doors here
final air into the mid-engine layout these pillars kinda fun elaire
over the rear the trunk right there let's talk about that engine its a v6
engine twin-turbocharged Acura says and it's got three electric motors to help
it out one electric motor comes back here
tour in the front seat get an all-wheel-drive system its torque
vectoring
with electric motors up front an electric motor in the back there's no
plugin system for this should rise much like a conventional hybrid but actor
says
we'll have plenty of torque because the ball that instant traction you get
from the beginning from those electric motors will also have more than 550
horsepower
massive wheels here 19 inch front wheels 20 inch rear wheels
carbon ceramic brakes your cross drilled rotors speaking a carbon
a carbon fiber floor pan for this car
a lot of high-strength steel aluminum body panels elsewhere around it
la to sue because these days like the BMW i8 Audi r8 have actual kinda parts
bin pieces from their respective automakers
how the same situation here fairly inviting interior actually
more so than what you necessarily expect seeing the outside in the car
fairly been a-pillars really do help with visibility more than you think
a fairly large side mirrors I gotta say for a car
that's as Los long is this you expect this to be
the heart courtesy out oven I'm pleasantly surprised by the fact that
it's not necessarily that difficult now a lot of authentic materials Acura says
things like
real leather around the upper doors the dashboard this center tunnel here very
kind a big
serb okie Center tell but actor says its functional there's a lotta cooling and
other stuff that goes on underneath here which is why it has to be this high
push-button transmission right here for the dual-clutch 9-speed
a automatic transmission there's an IDS integrated dynamic system here that's a
system that actor as in a few other models and adjust various drive tray
most look at this giant knob
it just sits right here underneath the starter button
so that you can really turn things at the moment so this is said to have a
look at a smaller button
similar system in various other Honda products actually Acura is Honda's
luxury brand rather than the two screen system in a lotta Acura cars
is gonna have capacitive touch controls up on the left here
we've never been big fans a the way that system works but it's reasonably fast
otherwise soap
hopefully it kinda works out the same obviously in a supercar not a lot of
storage areas here
really along the center tunnel here but
no couplers you'll notice now they're is a little port right here
which Acura says there's gonna be kinda cup holder thing that fits
into the glove compartment will have to integrate a couple days in kinda plug it
in here
and have a couple cups although if you have a second cup it meant you had a
passenger and that would mean that
this would really kind of encroach on them yeah figure that out
bian ERA are both as good as signals any is how crowded this sorta super car
segment has become
unisex will obviously I could buy its ok at Ford's all-new GT
we don't know about pricing for any the US cars yet but Acura says the
intersection start somewhere in the hundred and fifty thousand dollar or so
range so stay tuned for more on power or driving impressions all that closer to
the cars
on sale date in late 2015
