Honda NSX teaser

The production version of the highly anticipated Honda NSX supercar – successor to the legendary original NSX, will make its world debut in Detroit at the 2015 North American International Auto Show on Jan. 12, 2015.
Such is the demand for the car, order books in the UK for the hybrid sports car have now been closed.

In celebration of its impending debut, Honda have released a 30-second teaser video giving an early glimpse of the production car and the sound of its three-motor, twin-turbocharged Sport Hybrid power unit.

According to the Japanese car maker: “The next-generation NSX will deliver a ‘new sports experience’ true to its heritage and to the supercar concept that originally gave rise to the name NSX,” said Mike Accavitti, Acura division senior vice president and general manager. “The NSX will serve as the ultimate expression of Acura performance that is fueling a reenergised brand.”

Honda NSX sold out – Type-R orders now open http://motacarblog.com/2014/12/02/honda-nsx-sold-type-r-orders-now-open/ Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:54:15 +0000 http://motacarblog.com/?p=2091 [...]]]> Orders for the NSX have now closed
2016 Honda NSX

For the past two years Honda dealers in the UK have been accepting pre-orders for the upcoming 2015 NSX and the Japanse car maker have now closed the order books in the UK for the hybrid sports car.

Buyers obviously have a lot of faith in the company and their products, as the NSX has not even being shown in public yet and nobdy except those at Honda have driven it.

Furthermore,  while the NSX prototype was being tested on the Nurbergring earlier this year, it burst into flames – but that hasn’t stopped 100 British buyers putting down a £5000 deposit to pick up one of the first cars – which is expected to land on these shores in 2016.

Buyers and interested parties alike will have to wait until Detroit’s 2015 North American International Auto Show in January to see the finished production model.

The car will be powered by a twin-turbo V6 and electric motor hybrid powertrain and Honda it will rival the likes of Ferrari 458, Nissan GT-R and Audi R8.
