Hit: Acura NSX Concept

Okay, it’s hard to screw up the looks of a mid-engine supercar, but this NSX concept is what fans of Acura’s departed NSX have been praying for. When Honda president, Takanobu Ito, revealed the styling concept of this new beast, it garnered actual cheers from the jaded, press-day crowd — a rare feat.

Ito actually lead the engineering team which created the first NSX. For the new Acura NSX Concept, look for some kind of advanced hybrid powertrain, a very advanced all-wheel drive system, and for it to compete where it counts — on the racetrack.
