During a press conference in the Shanghai motor show, Honda Chairman Takanobu Ito, confirmed what car enthusiasts have waited the world: Honda will build a successor to the legendary NSX. According to his perspective, it is where it gets the good news. While Ito insists that Honda is "working very hard on it", did not give any indication of what "it" is, "where which" will be sold, when "" will be released or even what segment of price Honda aims for "which". Worse, another representative of Honda said that the car is positioned as a counterpart of high performance to the contrarian, a car that only Honda billed as a "hybrid of sports". The replacement of NSX is believed to be a parallel hybrid, but Ito said only that the car would be stimulating for the unit and the environment.


The replacement of the original Honda NSX was going to be a unit of power, front, rear V-10 engine Coupe get about 500 horsepower. The production was murdered by Honda in the midst of the global economic crisis of 2009, but the car went on the race in the series of Super GT of Japan as the HSV-010 gt.


Whatever the new NSX replacement morphs, needs of Honda to take a step back and review what is most important. If it is green cars, give up the idea of building a world class sports. If you want to a halo of high-performance hybrid transmission scrap car parallel and focus on an engine of small displacement with direct injection, variable admission and twins, sequential turbos and exhaust cam timing to get reasonable performance and fuel economy. Trying to serve two masters well it is an impossible task, and there is a reason why nobody does Turkey giblets of sauce with flavor of ice cream.
