Acura NSX Successor Still In the Works

The re-introduction of the iconic NSX from Acura has been going back and fourth between a green light for production and rumours dropping the idea altogether for some time now. The latest rumour was that Honda had decided to ditch the idea of an NSX successor because it was too demanding to develop cost-wise. Well that may not be true according to the latest rumour.

Honda Motor Company president Takanobu Ito recently hinted that the idea to revive the NSX isn’t quite off the table yet. In fact, he confirmed that Honda is still working on a successor. ito said that Honda wants to make a car that’s exhilarating to drive, but also environmentally friendly. This would suggest that the NSX successor will likely get a hybrid power train, or even perhaps a diesel unit. This also means that the hopes of Honda putting a rumoured V10 in the engine bay is extremely unlikely. Beggers can’t be choosers, I guess.

 Honda didn’t give any hints as to when this NSX successor will see the light of day, but Ito did mention that they are “working very hard on it”.

The NSX was always one of my fave sports cars when I was growing up, so the idea of a successor is pretty exciting for me!

  1. Honda’s gonna be too late to the game. By the time this NSX replacement comes out, BMW will already have its i8 released and Audi will a redesigned version of the R8. Even Lexus will have a refreshed the LF-A with the latest technology.
