Honda launchs the New NSX in April this year, to go on sale late 2005.
Saying bye bye to traditional 3.2 V6 it now has 3.0 V10 based off Mugens 2001 F1 engine :D

JDM models claimed to have 206Kw @7400rpm
While others (germany etc..) get 340Kw
NSX-R to have 450Kw @ 11,500rpm weight around 1050kg (aiming to match the ENZO)

19" Front wheels
20" Bck wheels
6 speed
Around 210kg lighter then current NSX-T


Well thats my news for the day!
I wuoldn't mind owning one!
No price as of yet :(

Holy shit
Has the engine specs been released by honda, or a speculator?? I mean, you never know with media...
I wonder how close to 206kw the JDM version will really be....

Wouldn;t the engine be based off the Honda F1 engine, or are they using the older style of the Mugen engine??

Those NSX-Rs would be DYNO-MITE. Imagine one of them in the Aussie Nations cup - KILLER

Expect prices to increase though... BASTARDS

That is 100% correct.
The 2001 F1 engine was a Mugen engine and it was based of that.
I don't have a scanner, so i can't scan the pic :(
Matt, do you have a scanner?
If so scan it in, because it looks awesome :D

They make look like thinly disguised replacements for Honda’s NSX supercar and Insight electric car, but the company was refusing to admit that its concepts were any such thing at the Tokyo Motor Show. Unofficially it’s a different story with the IMAS and HSC (Honda Sports Concept) expected to go into production before too long. Most blatant was the HSC which still looks like the current NSX from the front. Designer Toshinoba Minami, however, denied that his baby was set to hit the showrooms.
"It is a design study going back to sports car origins," he said. "A lightweight vehicle with a compact, high powered engine.

"Normally you would expect to find a V8 or V10 engine in such a car, but we have put in a V6 3.5-litre engine which produces as much power as either of those."

Insiders say the NSX replacement, which will be "pretty close" to the Tokyo concept, is due in 2006 or 2007. The IMAS, designed by Jose Wyszogrod, bears some resemblance to the current Honda Insight environmental car and boasts ultra low aerodynamics for greater efficiency. Unlike the Insight it is a four-seater, or 2+2, rather than a two-seater. IMAS uses a hybrid system with petrol engine and electric power sources.

It isn't and never was a law - it was a gentlemen's agreement that has been held for some time. Manufactures just say it is 280ps and no one complains - becuase there is no one to complain to

OMG!! Iv got a very strong feeling that if they go ahead with the V10, they will also buy out B.A.R honda!!! ...hence starting thier domination of the entire automotive world!

.....i really, really, REALLY want this car to make it into production!!

I speculated honda to take over BAR... Then, Ferrari can be relegated by the Japanese

LOL!! Im too reluctant to be sure....we have been let down too many times before... A V10 honda supercar would be such a HUGE image booster for honda. This coupled with honda's future F1 success would really take honda to the marketer's wet dream.

It is quite a convienient time....having the tobacco bans supposedly coming into play in the next couple of years (how many years has it been postponed???). All i can do is prey....for both the HONDA F1 team...and the V10 roadcar....

Exactly, although I think BAT is doing a phillip morriss and buying up none tobacco businesses. BAT just haven't bought so much..

Tobacco will end F1 as we know it. Just hope it spawns a reign of Honda red, black and white.....

so is it true or not? i am so confuse! they say they gonna end the production of the nsx and than i read this v10 thing, and i bought the new asm and they say honda will put the SH AWD( super handling AWD, which will kill a gtr) so which is true, i hope nsx will continue with v10 and SH AWD, than Nissan drivers cant pick on Honda drivers
