This is not the next NSX
This site has a reputation for posting anything that comes across its desk, so know beforehand that this is not an
artist's rendering of what the next Acura NSX might look like. One astute commenter noticed that the drawing looked an
awful lot like the Cadillac Cien concept vehicle of a few years back. The rest of the people commenting didn't believe
him and continued to criticize Honda/Acura for swiping the Enzo's nose. Then the astute gentleman decided to post the
pic from which this photoshopped rendering was so obviously derived. Follow the
link and compare them both.
Look closely at the wheels and the side air intakes.
The site that posted the pic claims it and inside info about the next NSX were provided to them by a Japanese source
who claims there is a lot of hope that the car will have a new "multi cylinder engine". As opposed to what, a
mono-cylinder engine?

Forget the Photoshopping job on this pic, I think it looks like a sweet car. Better looking than the Cien itself IMHO.

Yup - they didn't even change the positions of the wheel spokes.
The Caddy looks better - though at least Honda thought to add side-view mirrors, a feature missing from the Cien...

Phil, they didn't forget to put mirrors on Cien...it uses cameras instead.
Somehow I doubt the next NSX will have a 750 hp,7.5 litre V12.

The biggest giveaway is the windshield. The light reflection has the *exact* same curve!

Honda had released pictures before of the concept that would replace the NSX. It was called the HSC.

However it has been a couple of years and the looks may have changed by now.

they killed the HSC concept a few months after the 04 Detroit show. Some elements of it may have survived, but they were pretty adamant that it would not be the NSX.

Autospies is a middle-aged southern Californian plagiarist with a penchant for tabloid headlines. Yet, somehow, he winds up on tv as an automotive expert. Go figure.

I have to admit, it does look better than the Cien. Even though it's a copy, it looks like whoop-ass in a can. I'd shut my mouth about bad talking the NSX if they were able to produce this, but there would be a host of lawsuits if they did.

Oh yeah, they shot themselves in the foot too with this photoshop pic. How do you have a air intake to cool the mid engine when there is obviously a friggin' window in the back? I guess it's possible if you reroute the air around the window or make the window small. Maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot, lol.

Perhaps the more likely candidate is the Dual Note, produced for the 2001 Tokyo Auto Show. It's entirely likely that Honda will use a hybrid power plant for the next supercar, I believe.
