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.
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.
Here is a new detailed press release published today.
From the press release:
DETROIT, April 23, 2015 – In advance of the market launch of the highly anticipated next generation Acura NSX, the engineers leading the supercar's development shared new technical details and design strategies with the automotive engineering community at the April 22nd SAE Detroit Section dinner, held in conjunction with the SAE 2015 World Congress and Exhibition. Additional information about the team's efforts to achieve a true "New Sports Experience" included details of the NSX's world's first body construction process that helped create a multi-material space frame resulting in class-leading body rigidity, the advanced total airflow management system and an update on NSX's power unit specifications. Ted Klaus, chief engineer and global development leader of the new NSX, introduced key powertrain, body and dynamic performance engineers who shared new product and technical details in their related areas of the development. The unprecedented sharing of technical details prior to the car's market introduction reflects the desire of the NSX development team and the company to inspire the imagination of automotive and technology enthusiasts along with the next generation of engineers.
