I'd be a lot more pumped if this money was being used to develop a light RWD coupe or an S2000 successor.

1.6L V6 sounds like there may be some technology transfer to allow for a small high revving 6 in a new incarnation of the next S roadster

V6 turbo? I wonder if that means Honda will apply that technology (turbo) to its production line. I'm interested to know what manufacturer they will be using for the turbo setup or if they will engineer their own system.

Happy to see Honda back in the game. Sad to see Formula 1 moving down to 1.6L V6's.

1.6L turbo motor = 280-300 hp in a nicely tuned well-built street car, I'd imagine, with torque of similar numbers. That would be a blast in a small roadster or coupe!
