New NSX i bet

that was the closest thing i could come up with.

its very aggressive!


EDIT: scratch that now i look at it from the side it looks like a big CRX :D :lmfao:

[EJ25RUN]

New NSX i bet

i believe so,

one thing that hits me......it looks front engined which is something i dont want an NSX to be.

Article says it will carry a V10 up front.

[Sammich]

O THATS HOT:idb:

[tron]

nsx....maybe
call me crazy but it looks kinda like a futuristic crx from ths side

[404 THE DC4]

front engine nsx weird ... just make up a new name geeez

["ridge"racer]

New S2k?

[Vteckidd]

Honda was designing a new rumored v 10 or v 8 next generation nsx. Supposed to be 500hp carbon body. That may be a prototype s3000 but I doubt its close to being done that fast and it wasn't going to have a v10 . The only logical car of could ne is the nsx

[Vteckidd]

the crz was going to be a hybrid car not a gas guzzling v10

[404 THE DC4]

no it not the 370z

[Just_CHill]

OMG!!!!! That looks like it's going to be amaaaaaaziiiinng!!!!

[TicketRedBB6]

Why are hoards of people still saying random things like next s2k or nsx. This looks NOTHING like those cars and they're not even supposed to make another s2k. It's the CRZ (new crx) like many people have said. Its gonna be a 2 seater with either the honda insight engine or the new civic hybrid engine (im not sure, i've heard both as a possibility). Its made more for handling and good mileage, its not gonna rival the s2k or anything. I dunno why people are saying v10:blah:

[allmotoronly]

Remember a few months ago when these pics came out?

It was a modified S2000 with a longer wheelbase that was supposedly the test mule for the new NSX V10 engine. Notice the quad stacked exhaust.

I've never seen that, it looks good and I guess maybe they are planning production for a new s2k. It still looks nothing close to what the OP posted though. There's no way the car the OP posted is an S2K or NSX

[Humphrizzle]

new2000 looks like a 7 series bmw and a s2000 collided...

sucks.

Thats not supposed to be the new S2k, just a test platform for the new NSX's V10 or V8 engine.

If you don't think the car in the OP is a NSX, then what is it?

[One_Bad_SHO]

Its gotta Aston Martin'ish vibe about it

It looks exactly like a CRZ, i've already said that along with 3 other people, one of which who had pictures of the CRZ on page 1 that look just like the OP's pictures. The OPs pics dont look anything close to any NSX i've ever seen or concept i've ever seen. I could believe it might be a new s2k (which its not) easier than an nsx. It just looks nothing like one, I dont know how people are saying it looks like it.

[allmotoronly]

The CRZ has a much higher hood and rear end... How are you guys not seeing this?

[allmotoronly]

look at all the differences. The rear on the CRZ is higher, the front end is shorter. the windows are shaped different... the whole car is smaller. Besides, look at the brakes on the NSX, they are huge!!! why would a hybrid car like the CRZ need those? Why would a hybrid like the CRZ need quad exhaust?

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/jdmludesir/compisite-1.jpg

[wantsanS14]

allmotor has a point, u dont need all that much to stop a hybrid honda that small. but a car that small with a v-10 is gonna kick some ass. whatever it is!

[Vteckidd]

That is not a crz. That car is huge and looks nothing like the prototype crz.

[Humphrizzle]

v10?

honda hasnt even produced a V8 in any car yet...

Good point, I see the differences now. To me the rears still look very similar but in the pics you showed the front end are obviously different. Good points about the breaks too. It would be a very different body style NSX then previous generations if that is a new nsx, I didnt think they would change it that drastically. Looks good whichever car it is. I still think its the crz though, lol:ninja:

thats a crz

[Revmaynard]

Hell, for all we really know it could be something completely new.

[AnTi-PooN]

^^^^^^^like the crz

[Revmaynard]

Yes, like the CRZ, but also something we don't know of yet.

[JITB]

theres no point for honda to make a crz, but there is alot of japanese supercars being produced.. And that car looks way too nicelyshaped to even be a "cr" anything...lol

[EJ25RUN]

no it isnt

/thread

[sTeadFasT]

The quad stacked exhaust is a very good point, pointed out earlier in the thread, so my guess probably goes out as the new NSX.

[Vteckidd]

Well heres my reasoning.

Honda released the HSC SUpercar which was supposed to be the next NSX a few years ago.

Then their were rumors of an upgrade to the S2000. Supposedly they were going to scrap the 4 cylinder an go with the new engine from the Accord Euro-R which was some V6 variant that made 300hp. That seemed to be all talk because in 2008 they released the S2000 CR so the next evolution of the S2000 is prob 4-5 years away.

The CRZ will be just like a CRX, a COMMUTER car aimed at a possible replacement of the FIt or Insight. Talks were 2 DEFINITE models with the CRZ having a HYBRID engine replacing the Insight, and a SOHC D18 IVTEC motor out of the new ULEV Civic that comes out in 09 or 10.

THERE WAS SLIGHT RUMORS that they may offer a limited edition CRZ with a K20 engine out of the last model Civic SI with 200hp. But none of that has been confirmed.

The NSX was in talks to have a V8 or V10 based on a F1 engine from Hondas race team. It was supposedly to have 500bhp and have a carbon fiber body with FRONT ENGINE REAR WHEEL DRIVE. They scrapped the old Midengine design long ago.

The NSX i think stopped production in 02 or 03

IMO there is no way this is a new S2000 because they are still selling the CURRENT s2000. Plus the S2000 or whatever replaces it will always be a convertible IMO. Also i dont see them putting a V10 in an S2000 because that will make it IMPOSSIBLE to bring a NSX out unless it makes 800hp which is not likely to happen this century lol.

I expect they will release the next S2000 variant in the next year, and expect it to have some 280-300hp v6, an i expect the NSX to make 400-450hp.

the ONLY car that has been on the drawing board slated for a comeback has been the NSX. Proof that they had an engine was a few months back when they had that extended S2000 with the reported new NSX ENGINE that someone posted in this thread. This is prob some variant of the soon to be released production chassis.

it's a crz

was there ever a CRY? I mean how can you jump from CRX to CRZ....

Ok people, for all the noobs that don't know what a test mule is.....

this is a test mule, they put random things on the car in order to keep the photographers from getting main details on what it really is.

About the car in question......Why would they bring a car that is obviously going to be a hybrid to the Nurburgring. I used to sell cars and not one person interested in a Prius asked me what kinda times it ran.

Whatever that is, it isn't FWD. Just look at the calipers on the brakes. It isn't necessary on a gas saver.

[EJ25RUN]

it's a crz

get ready to be very disappointed.

[Vteckidd]

i agree, anyone that thinks this is a CRZ is retarded. This is an obvious new sports car, and like i just demonstrated, the likely candidate is the new NSX

[Nemesis]

definitly a crz













































lol

[Revmaynard]

I think it's too odd for a NSX, but I agree it's a sports car, just something we don't know of necessarily yet.

[90_ACCORD]

yeah just looks like it would be a 2009 CRX or somethin

[SampaGuy]

Anyone else find the Dodge Nitro advertisement a bit out of place?

Yeah, it says its "fit" for the nurburgring, it would be fine if it was a viper or something and not an suv...

[redrumracer]

New NSX i bet
i was thinking crx

Spy Shots: Acura NSX prototype lifts wheel at the 'Ring (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/17/spy-shots-acura-nsx-prototype-lifts-wheel-at-the-ring/)

The spy shots we showed you earlier of an Acura NSX prototype on the street were taken in Germany near the famed Nurburgring test track. Of course, any prototype driving around the 'Ring will eventually be driving on the 'Ring, and so it was today for Acura's future supercar. KGP photographers snapped the NSX prototype being driven hard around the Green Hell, so much so that the car's left-front wheel catches air at one point during hard cornering. There are many more angles and views of the next NSX in our gallery below that should allow you to see the car's form through its heavy camo paint even better.

[Source: KGP Photography]

KGP Photography:

Here are some new shots of the NSX, doing some hot laps on the 'Ring (along with another set heading back to its facility). The new shots all have their own charms, and each reveals something new, thanks to the different angles and lighting. One particularly intense track shot has the NSX raising its front wheel under hard cornering.

PWNED SUCKAS

thats a crz

care to retract that statement? That CRZ must have one hell of a hybrid sysyem to pull a front tire on the 'ring, especially considering the CRZ is front wheel drive.

Thanks for showing these fools that it cant possibly be the CRZ EJ25RUN

I'll quote myself from earlier with some common sense points.

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/jdmludesir/compisite-1.jpg

Fact 3, its hard to tell in the pics about how large, long and wide this car is.

I'd rate it's dimensions simular to a Lexus SC430 except for the weight.

you sir are still wrong


Make your case.

[allmotoronly]

look at the windshield in relation to the front tire. On the CRZ the windshield is almost right above the front tire, on the NSX prototype, the windshield is much farther back. The two cars have completely different roof lines, and of course, the brakes on the NSX are WAAAYYY too large to be on a FWD hybrid.

Ignorance runs rampant in your brain

[EJ25RUN]

Back to the original topic.

I have to say, i really do disapprove.

What made the NSX great is that it's chassis was one of the greatest in history, and remember, i'm the one that holds cars to another standard so i really feel that way. It was a better car than the GTR in its day and remained as such long after. Even with it's lack of power compared to the European and American competition it did well and many times could better them.

Here is an article from Automobile mag

[i]Ayrton Senna helped refine the NSX's dynamic behavior with tests at the Nrburgring a decade or so before virtually every other carmaker identified this track as the Holy Grail. The result was a sports car with brilliant performance, an endearing spirit, and totally honest reflexes. Except for an early tendency to wear out its rear tires in 10,000 miles, the Acura NSX was vice-free.[i]

http://image.automobilemag.com/f/features/news/20_greatest_cars/6704655/0604_1995_acura_nsx_445.jpg

I feel like the new car needs to stick to it's moral and put light weight and proper chassis and suspension development ahead anything else.

I'm not gonna say that a high revving Vtec V8 is a bad idea, (its brilliant actually) but i would much rather that engine sit behind the driver.

It almost makes me feel that Honda just stuck with the norm on this one. The GTR is front engined and so is the LF-A. I realize that they are actually mid-front setups but for a supercar like this which is supposed to be about the experience. A car wearing an NSX badge should have the engine behind the driver.

Listen to yall....its a cr this, ns that. Obviously none of you have a clue wtf it is. What makes yall so sure its an nsx? Bc some site took some pictures and then posted it up as the new nsx?

Honda CEO demands NSX be faster around 'Ring than GT-R

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/06/timetobeat_opt.jpg

By now we've all seen the spy shots showing Acura's NSX revival bombing around the Nürburgring in Germany. There's a reason those drivers are pushing their prototype hard enough to get air through the turns. Inside Line is reporting the Honda CEO Takeo Fukui wants his NSX to toast both the Nissan GT-R and the Lexus LF-A around the Green Hell. Considering that the GT-R has posted lap times on the 'Ring that utterly defy what it should be able to do on paper, and that the LF-A is still a moving target that's trying to best the GT-R too, Honda engineers have some serious work to do developing the NSX over the next two years. IL suspects the next NSX will get a 5.5L V10 producing 550 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque that's derived from a V8 that's slated for the next-gen, rear-wheel-drive Acura RL. They also surmise that it will use an 8-speed auto with paddle shifters, feature an advanced version of Honda's Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system and use lots of aluminum in its construction to keep weight down. Unfortunately, by the time the NSX arrives, the GT-R V-Spec will have moved the bar again.
