2016 Acura NSX Was Well Worth the Wait

By Jeff Perez 8 hours ago




10 years of waiting, plus another three years of teasing and finally — FINALLY — Acura drops the curtain on the all-new NSX in Detroit. Good news is it was totally worth the wait.

From the get go, the thing looks absolutely gorgeous. It hasn’t strayed much from the concepts we’ve been seeing for the past three years, but the wheels get sharper, the front end gets cleaner, and the whole car looks a whole lot sharper. Especially draped in that candy apple red paint job.

Under the hood is a twin-turbo hybrid V6 that Acura says puts out somewhere over 550 horsepower. That hybrid drivetrain is paired to a 9-speed dual-clutch gearbox and likely four-wheel drive. As far as we know, no manual is in the cards (yet).
Probably the most surprising thing about this car, though, is that it won’t be built in Japan. Actually, Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio, will design and construct every inch of this vehicle from the ground up, with oversight from over 100 of Acura’s most skilled technicians.

Production should begin this year with an expected $150,000 price tag.

Looks like the rest of the exotic cars they review on topgear. Had I had the money I'd try and find a saleen S7 twin turbo.

I don't really care for it. But I am not much of a fan for those exotic cars.

I like it, would I buy it? well probably not. For that kind of money I would probably buy a new vette, a 71 cuda 440, and a 49 chopped mercury for my wife and then go on vacation with the left over money.

Realistically though if money was no object, ya I would buy one as there wouldn't be that many around
