As our very own Agent009 recently told you all, Acura has finally admitted that the prototype vehicle we saw on the set of the new Avengers movie is, more or less, the upcoming NSX. For those of you not in the loop, the Acura NSX was a marvel in its time when it made its debut in the early 1990s.
According to reports from Auto Express, the updated sports car will feature a 3.5-liter V6 and two electric motors powering the axle opposite the motor. Assuming the new Acura would follow the original's mid-engine set up, this could get very interesting.
Now, what will REALLY make or break this vehicle will be its weight. To be quite honest, I am not sure what kind of price Acura can get away with on this. With Lexus debuting the LFA at $375 large, anything's possible, but if Honda wants to really stick to the special sauce that made the original SO likable, it'll likely be aggressively priced.
Considering we know that our audience is very smart, we're going to turn the tables and open up the discussion:
If YOU were to tell Acura what it NEEDS to do for the NSX to be a SUCCESS, what would you say?
Front-engine? Mid-engine? Rear-engine?
AWD? RWD?
Manual? SMG? Double-clutch transmission?
How much should it weigh?
