New Honda NSX Teaser 2015

Published Date: 5th Jan 2015

The Latest Honda NSX hybrid supercar will arrive next year and the first official images have been released

 

This a first glimpse at the production version of the much anticipated, iconic mid-engined Honda NSX. Revealed in teaser images in this article, the new Honda NSX will make its world debut at the Detroit Motor Show this month (January 2015).

The concept version that previewed the new NSX has given us a strong indication of what we can expect from the showroom model, and there are no real surprises shown in the teaser images with LED headlamps, bonnet vents and muscular haunches all carried over from the original concept. By lightening one of the official images slightly it's even possible to see the shape of the wheel arches and the stretched headlights.

“After three years of intensive development work we are excited to reveal this next-generation supercar - the Honda NSX - to the world,” explained Ted Klaus, chief engineer and global project leader over NSX development. “We’ve developed a human-centered supercar that responds to the will of the driver and that builds upon the NSX heritage.”

The price tag of over £100,000 is expect to be slapped on the NSX but those fortunate enough to be able to consider a purchase will be out of luck as the first allocation have already been sold. This price range puts it in direct competition with the Audi R8.

Under the skin, the NSX will be powered by a mid-mounted, direct-injection V6 engine powering and directing the rear wheels, while pair of electric motors will power the front wheels. A third electric motor has also been fitted to boost engine performance, a power output of more than 400bhp is expected.

Production is expected to take place in Ohio with more than half of all models produced expected to be sold in North America. Production volumes will also be similar to that of the Audi R8, with five models rolling off the production line everyday.
