Yep It's Ready For Production! 2015 NSX Protoype Burns To A Crisp During Testing

I hear this is the reason Tony Stark went back to an R8

Is this a reliability issue" or a "recall"? LoL!

Well, that's why they test them. Both Porsche and Ferrari's had fire issues with the new 911 GT3 and 458 AFTER they were actually on sale, I don't see anyone turning those cars away today. Better they discover it now versus later, right?

JRobUSC: Totally right pal.

It's not a super car unless it has the ability to spontaneously combust ... well played, Acura.

Awesome, just awesome.

"Yep It's Ready For Production!"

You didn't say this kind of joke when Porsche 911 burned down the last time.

What is up with your hate against the Japanese cars, 009? You always say, Toyota reliability is overrated, Japanese cars are soulless and all such and you call this ready for production.

I mean, not just Porsche, Audi R8 also burned down during testing. But you didn't make fun of that, or did you?

009 is a closet Japanese car lover. It's okay, it's safe, you can come out now. Or... perhaps projecting hate is his way of driving traffic and clicks to the site.
Either way, his opinions are useless and no one really takes him seriously.

This is a repeat of the BS of the last NSX. Honda wanted to engineer a game changer and what arrived was just another sports car that not for a nanosecond made Porsche or Ferrari lose sleep. Here they are trying to do some hybrid BS when they should be making is a VERY conventional sports car and actually working to be credible. The last NSX doddered on and on and on. The S2000 also doddered. Both cars over-promised and under-delivered. This looks like more of the same.

Darringer are you high?

Yes the NSX and S2000 withered on the vine, but when both were first introduced, EVERYONE took notice and went back to the drawing boards.

The NSX didn't sell well but you just don't know automotive history if you don't think the NSX didn't change how other car makers make their supercars...

Everyone took notice ONLY BECAUSE of Honda's saber rattling. Once the hard data was in, the game was over.

The S2000 was supposed to kill V6 engines with a mere 4 cylinder. Yes, it could keep up when you revved the holy living crap out of the engine and endured the ear piercing din of the thrashy 4 cylinders not to mention the Russian-worthy NVH issues. The NSX looked hot, but once people caught on it was a Honda Fiero with an Accord powertrain, sales tanked.

You're obviously a blind import tuner boy apologist, but trust me, the car collectors I know what nothing to do with an NSX or an S2000.

Mid-engine cars tend to have cooling problems and a lot have burned during development and sometimes production models!. Google on "audi r8 burns at nurburgring" to see MULTIPLE pics of burned our R8s, including at least one production spider on fire!

Honda's got a ways to go to catch up with Audi if this is the first development car that's burned up!

That'll buff right out.

SEE!!!!! And you all said the NSX wasn't going to be HOT!!!!!!!!

Nobody can be sure about what this new NSX will be like. I still have high respect for Honda and high expectations.
The S2000 and previous NSX were world class cars that continue to be praised by the most authoritative critics around the world. They are sought after by collectors and command high prices. Ayrton Senna owned a NSX, as well.
MattDarringer, you might know (something?) about cars, but your comments here are extremely ignorant.

Uh yea, does Darringer now more than Gordon Murray, of McLaren F1 supercar design fame?

"Then I had the opportunity to drive it. Along with Ron Dennis (President, McLaren Cars) and Mansour Ojjeh (Tag McLaren Group Representative), we drove the prototype on the Tochigi Research Center test course. I remember being moved, thinking, “It is remarkable how our vision comes through in this car.”
Of course as you know, the engine has only six cylinders; however, the NSX’s very rigid chassis is excellent and would easily be capable of handling more power. Although it’s true I had thought it would have been better to put a larger engine, the moment I drove the “little” NSX, all the benchmark cars–Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini–I had been using as references in the development of my car vanished from my mind. Of course the car we would create, the McLaren F1, needed to be faster than the NSX, but the NSX’s ride quality and handling would become our new design target.

When working on the development of a new car for years, it’s easy to be caught in certain pitfalls. When you drive the car under development for testing every day (in truth, I was responsible for two-thirds of the testing for the McLaren F1), in that time, you can unknowingly convince yourself you are making progress when in fact you are not. For example, it’s human nature that at the end of a long day you may want to think that your efforts to reduce low speed harshness are working better than they are. It is at times like this when you need a car to compare with. In those situations, the NSX time and again showed us the path in the areas of ride quality and handling, and also helped us recognize when we weren’t making as much progress as we thought.
In my opinion, the NSX’s most special quality has long been overlooked.
That could be summarized with the words, “The NSX’s suspension is amazing.”

As for the S2000, I was very lucky to own one from 2000-2009 (till it was stolen, along with my heart!) and it easily swept all the competition to the side...only when Porsche got serious and answered Honda with the Boxster S did the S2000 have any real equal, of course it cost at least 20 grand more....
