Well. At least we know that they are thinking of building one. Thats better than nothing. Prior to this all I had heard was speculation and concept cars.

Whatever it is, I like how it looks even with the camo.

I'm not sure if this is Acura's Halo car.

As you can see there is a Z06 in the background, which they are probably using for a comparison to this prototype, so maybe this is their mid priced sports car.
Looks more like a ZR1 to me.

Man you're optimistic.
Hahaha I understand you man, seeing how we've been constantly let down by the cars Honda has been giving us. But I just find it weird to use a Z06 as a benchmark for Honda's next Halo car. That is where I made the assumption that this prototype must fit in the sub-supercar category. And since there was speculation that the S2000's replacement will be in Acura's division, it makes sense to me. I could be wrong, but I'm just guessing!

I'm in love with it. Its so hard to bite that V10 bit we've been hearing. We must remember, the NSX and S2k were incredibly special when they debuted.

Am I the only one that thinks the camo'd car looks a little, well, bland and boring? Especially when compared to the styling of the original NSX.

I think its "ok" i don't really hate it but still i'll be MORE THAN EVER happy with the good old nsx with a nice supercharger there ,,, ;D
... This new "gt" car will heavier, FASTER but less sexy ,,, and personally everyday i think the old nsx it's a true jewel ...

I've been looking at some pics and I'm starting to think you're right... those wheels and sideskirts are definitely more like the ZR1 than ZO6. That could be a good sign, haha.
