The Honda NSX replacement model that we all thought was taken behind the shed and shot between the eyes was actually just put into deep freeze due to the automotive sector's meltdown in 2008.
Now that the automotive world is firing on all cylinders again, the NSX replacement has been thawed out and is being readied to hit production again.
According to Motor trend, the project will now ride on a modified Accord platform that has been swapped front to rear. This eliminates one of the major stumbling blocks that caused it to be shelved back in 2008, development costs.
Motivation will come from a hybrid 3.5-liter V6 pushint out upwards of 400hp and will be mated to a proper manual driving all four wheels through a rear-biased SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) setup.
Though it's nowhere near production ready and will probably take a while before anything concrete materialises, the reports indicate that a 2014 launch is on the cards.
