For me, this dog was the best in show at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.  This all wheel drive, hybrid sports car is absolutely beautiful.

Some technical stuff…The NSX will utilize a form of the new hybrid Super Handling-AWD system. The V-6, likely a 3.5- or 3.7-liter, will drive the rear wheels by means of a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Unlike the current SH-AWD system, which would send power to the front wheels by way of a driveshaft and a mechanical differential, the NSX’s front wheels will instead be powered by a pair of electric motors. As each motor is assigned to a wheel, the system has the ability to accelerate the outer wheel in a corner, improving the car’s ability to turn in and rotate. Oh and by the way…we are talking about 400 hp.

“The NSX will make the driver one with the car to enhance dynamic driving abilities without getting in the way,” says Honda CEO Ito. “Like the first NSX, we will again express high performance through engineering efficiency — but even as we focus on the fun to drive spirit of the NSX, I think a super-car must respond positively to environmental responsibilities.”

As good as this sounds it makes me feel bad.  Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good.  I look at this car and I get a devilish grin on my face.  Front profile or viewing from the back, the sharp edges combined with subtle edges and curves give the NSX a commanding appearance. 

 
_For some strange reason when I look at the LED head lights and the front grill, I feel like it is about to transform into an evil Decepticon robot like ShockWave from Transformers 3…evil can be sexy too right?

For me this would surely be a star in a car porn movie along with a tag team scene featuring its counter part, the soon to come Tony Stark
NSX Roadster in 2015?
 

Just sexy as hell! 
Yes I know I’m weird. 


The excitement for this baby was hi-lighted in the recent Super Bowl ad featuring Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld competing to be the first to own the car.  What is also exciting is the news that the Acura NSX is reportedly going to be built in the USA and should be on the road by 2015.  Lets just hope the world doesn’t end in 12-12-2012.
