How to build an NSX

[Sin_Chase]

Honda aren't making any exciting cars any more

You never know

However, one thing that caught our attention is that they are rumours by many Honda executives, that something big will be announced or even presented in the world of motorsports next year in Japan. We can only expect something like the revival of a new NSX. So far the rumors are building up and if something like that actually do happens, then we could really say “Big in Japan!”.

Honda has formally announced that they will no longer use the NSX-GT in the GT500 class of the Super GT. The main reason is that the new rules of 2010 Super GT require all GT500 cars to be equipped with a front engine and a rear wheel drive. This means that the NSX-GT will not be racing next year unless Honda presents a new NSX. Now, this will be a challenge for Honda, since the NSX-GT has been on poll 49 times and has won 36 times.

That new CRX (CRZ??) could be "exciting".

Love NSX's. Original shape definitely show their age now but 2002 and later still look fresh as a daisy imho.

Killing off mid rear

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

I remember honda showing the HSC concept years ago at the british motor show, wonder what ever happened to that?

Killing off mid rear

This, how can an FR car be a successor to the NSX? No mid engine = no supercar.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Don't see why it or any car has to be MR to qualify as a supercar....

 

[Clarkey]

Simple really, a supercar has to be exotic, front engine is not exotic or even out of the ordinary at all.

 

[PiKe]

I'd rather it was affordable than in super-car territory, otherwise I'd have to start printing money.

You read it here first fokes, if its not MR its not exotic, so this means the following are boring, dull and not out of the ordinary.

Ferrari 599 GTB
Ferrari California
Mclaren Mecedes SLR
Lexus LFA
Corvette Z06
Aston Martin *.*

Etc Etc.

You will find most of those are technically have mid mounted engines

Exactly all of those cars are posh grand tourers, I wouldn't count any as a *proper* supercar.

 

[Nige01010]

SLR not a supercar???? Whatever next.....

 

[Janesy B]

Corvette Z06 a posh GT car, lol?

 

[Firestar_3x]

Some are slightly more GT orientated but its quite a close cut thing, the likes of the Z06 etc are not GT cars.

Technically some of these cars have the engine mounted behind the front axel so are MR, but in practice these are all FR platforms.

With this in mind how do you stand on AWD supercars, are these also boring?

I never actually said anything was boring if you read carefully. But yes, it goes without saying that 4wd is more boring than 2wd, still plenty up there on the excitement scale though
