not it sure if Porsche, Lambo, MB, etc are worried about losing 30 sales/year each to Honda.

$139K for an NSX with more standard features than a moderately optioned 911 4S is a bargain.

Don't forget the e-motor adds "torque fill" between shifts as well as off the line grunt.
Per month, not per year. But yeah.

Around me, they have another regional discount. Was bringing the price down to $125-$130k. Have a friend who is considering it. Said the car was absolutely amazing on the track.

Damn.. forgot McLaren. So many high-end sellers out there.
Yup, R8 and i8 are not long for this world. To be fair, i8 sucks. Paying $120K+ for a car with 370hp isn't a great deal.

Adding an electric motor to give gobs of torque at low rpm allows them to tune the engine with larger turbos that will provide top-end power with a small sacrifice to low-end torque from the ICE.
50 hp is nothing to sneeze at and it adds 109 ft-lbs of torque at 0 rpm, which is very helpful. Also, since it's integrated between the transmission and the engine, it'd be difficult to remove without having to do a ton of design work and creating a bespoke transmission.
3300 lbs and 650-700 hp is hardly a losing proposition.

They shouldve went full electric and beat the Tesla to market, or go full gas and give people an exotic at 911 prices with Honda reliability.

until you deal with the massive depreciation and reliability issues later. NSX will be discounted heavily, McLaren not so much. NSX even with the complexity of the electric motors will be more reliable than the 570. Everyone I know with a McLaren has had issues and wouldn't own one out of warranty at all.
