It has literally been years that Acura has been teasing us of their new NSX and while it is not much of a secret on how it will look like, they had still yet to fully reveal the car in its production specification. However, the wait will finally come to an end as the new Acura NSX will be making its debut at the North American International Motor Show a.k.a. the Detroit Motor Show in its finalized form.
Training its sights to cars like the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Audi R8, this new hybrid supercar will be unveiled on January 12 2015 which you can also witness it live at www.youtube.com/acura. With the launch, John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda, describes 2015 as “The Year of Honda” where they are lining up a couple more models to launch later next year.
“After three years of intensive development work we are excited to reveal this next-generation supercar – the Acura NSX – to the world. We’ve developed a human-centred supercar that responds to the will of the driver and that builds upon the NSX heritage,” said Ted Klaus, chief engineer and global project leader over NSX development.
The new Acura NSX features a new hybrid system called the Sport Hybrid Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive System (Sport Hybrid SH-AWD). The twin-turbocharged V6 engine is assisted by an electric motor to power the rear wheels, while two more electric motors power the front. The electric motors are fed by a lithium-ion battery mounted low in the car and are recharged with regenerative braking.
