After years of anticipation Acura has finally revealed its new NSX supercar at the Detroit Auto Show with plenty of details.

Unfortunately those details don’t include the one particular statistic fans are most desperate for: horsepower.

True, a car is far more than just a three digit number. The original NSX proved that, challenging Ferraris of its era with just 270 hp. Still, engine output is plenty important.

Electric motors for the rear driveline plus two extra on each front wheel? The acceleration is going to be insane on this thing.

I love the side mount intercoolers with the functional side scoop ducting to cool those heat exchangers as well.

Looks like Acura waited long enough to get it right with this one. I will be waiting to see what comes of these as they make their way into the aftermarket world.

Had no idea she designed the new NSX.



From the article:
She is the first women to be in charge of a supercar’s exterior design. She also loves cars and grew up in San Jose, California, one of the hot beds of American hot rod and muscle car culture. Her dad was also a tried and true Mopar guy. Meet Michelle Christensen, the new star of automotive design who was recruited by Acura right out of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena back in 2005.
