VIDEO: Three minutes of NSX goodness
Click above to view video after the jump
At this rate, by the time Honda actually releases the production version of the successor to the NSX, we may well have seen more video and photos of the prototypes running at the 'Ring than we ever saw of the original. Thankfully, for those of us into really fast cars, the Nürburgring is a public place with a variety of roadside vantage points where people can view the latest and greatest supercars in action. The crew at Germany's Auto Motor und Sport seem to have staged videographers at all the available viewing locations to capture three minutes of footage that they have posted on YouTube for the rest of us to enjoy. There's some good stuff here, including the last few seconds where the driver is clearly pushing the new Honda as the back end slips a little wide before coming back. We're all waiting anxiously to see how this one matches up against the GT-R, ZR1, and LF-A. Check out the video after the jump.

Yeah nice sound track, but Honda can call me back when they decide to put the engine where it belongs. Until then, I'm more interested in the LF-A and its [IMHO] better sound track.

Uh, the LF-A is front engine as well, hashiryu.

Only 10 seconds inbto the video, and I have just ever-so slightly changed my tune about the prospects of a true Japanese [JDM?] supercar. GT-R is as much a supercar as is the Evo X or STI. This, however, seems to be something entirely different. Dare I say, thusfar, I like it. This coming from a 6 time owner of Mercedes-Benzes.

This is fast becoming my favorite in this affordable-supercar war. I don't mind the new body style. I'm all about subtle... and fast!
If its as light as it is small, it could very easily be a top contender, if not for a short while.

So just like the Camaro and Challenger, this also is getting plenty of exposure before it hits the market.

Exactly. Which simply means that when this car fianlly makes it to market, no one will really care.

According to the vid, apparently it's slower than a 911 and I believe that was a white mercedes blowing past it too!
I'm sure the driver wasn't killing it during those clips but it's still funny to see the aggressive mercedes chase it down and beat it through the corner

The test driver threw out the anchor to let the Mercedes pass him. Otherwise, man that engine note is right up there with the R8's and the LF-A's. Pant-wetting...

You could clearly see that the NSX slowed down.

You have to keep in mind that when an automaker is "testing" an automobile, its doing just that. I'm sure there not out to set the track on fire after every outing.

:) ha ha... I have a "vintage" '92 GSR that's worth about as much a this NSX... ;)
