Default Confirmed: We're Getting a New Honda NSX in 2010

'bout time...

While certain Japanese fans are still drooling over the Nissan GT-R, Honda is about to steal some of that supercar thunder back. Honda has just officially confirmed that they are working on a new version of the NSX supercar and it will make its debut sometime in 2010.

By all accounts, the next-generation Honda NSX (sold as the Acura NSX around these parts) may be based on the Advanced Sports Car Concept shown here, though much can change between now and 2010. Honda needs another serious sports car, since they have nixed the Integra/RSX and Prelude. Don't get me wrong: I still love the S2000, but it's no NSX.

We were originally hoping that Honda would stick to CEO Takeo Fukui's word that the NSX would launch in 2008/09, but 2010 is much better than never at all.

What is your source? I did not see any mention on http://www.hondanews.com/

In my opinion the Integra/RSX & Prelude were never serious sports cars, sporty coupes, yes. Sports Cars, hardly. My opinion. As long as they keep the next-gen 'NSX' an MR layout, I'll take it in with open arms.

isn't the new NSX more of a GT than the sports car it originally was?

Honda CEO Tetsuo Iwamura confirmed to Wards Auto that, yes, the Acura NSX would return to American shores and likely around 2010. We're going to miss all the Acura NSX Gossip. Will they? Won't they? It was like Ross and Rachel, except with Takeo Fukui and a halo sports car. The car was initially meant to be out around now so it could take on the Nissan GT-R, but that obviously didn't happen.


Apparently, designers were unhappy with the lukewarm response to the Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept. When it does arrive, it'll likely sport a V-10 and possibly a version of Honda's SuperHandling AWD system. Or not. There's still much gossip to be had. [Wards Auto via WCF]
