Does Acura NSX actually need Type R version?

Although the engine specifications are not yet available as official, some rumors are worth taking as true. The new NSX will surely be a best in every segment and especially when it comes to the engine and overall performance. The beating heart of the new NSX will be a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 petrol engine, accompanied by three complementary electric motors, one sandwiched between the engine and the transmission system and one at each front wheel. Together they pack a significant punch and we’re dying to know the exact output, as the officials have pointed us “north of the 550 horsepower range”. Not a bad start, to be honest.

What am I missing here? This article appears to have been written two years ago in anticipation of the NSX. Everything in the article is known today. This has nothing to do with a Type R version of the NSX.

Would prefer an exterior redesign. May be me but I just cannot warm up to this new NSX design.

Yup. Also, the interior shots look cheap to me, like something I'd expect in a $40-$50K car, not one costing triple that!

Honda Fiero is what it screams.

If that "R" version comes with a NSX that has been put on a diet with a less complicated "KERS" system and a manual . . . Sure!

If an R version means taking out all the hybrid garbage and electrocrap and bolting in an LS7 or an LS9, count me in.
