Report: Acura NSX Eyes up Ferrari 458, McLaren 12C, 911 GT3 - Automobile
When the original NSX debuted at the 1989 Chicago auto show , it was a bit of a shock that a mainstream automaker like Honda was planning to face off against practiced supercar manufacturers like Ferrari and Porsche. With Honda now gearing up to introduce the next-generation Acura NSX, the familiar question is back on our lips—can Honda take on the exotics. Our intel suggests that, in keeping with the spirit of the original NSX, the new Acura NSX will not directly match its competitors in acceleration or power output. While output will likely crest the 500-hp mark, history would suggest that the Acura NSX's appeal will be its drivability, livability, and reliability. If the new NSX can offer exotic supercar fun with everyday usability and a smaller price tag, Honda could repeat history with a big hit. Source: www.automobilemag.com
