Its old old news...
SHame they wont use a v8, why cant they make it a proper supercar? If we can shove a v8 in a bloody 4 door commodore why cant honda use it in something that dam expensive... needs to be done i say, the v6 is good and all, but exotics arnt about power to weight ratio, and when it comes to all the true exotics, they kill the nsx in speed hands down. And that concept is kinda going in the rite direction still kinda weird tho.
i have a feeling this "exotic" will be offered at a lower price than a true supercar. If it could keep up with the new M5 (keeping weight down as it'll have a huge power disadvantage) then the perforamnce should be more than adequate if its goin to be priced similarly. long live the v6 i say
it's all about the handling guys. Honda never have the biggest numbers.
looks just like a facelift NSX i reckon.
Besides, i've read in a few places that a V8 is too unstable for VTEC and has too high emissions seeings as they have cars like the insight and low emission jazz. They are thinking for the future, not for right now.
its easier to make a v6 rev high due to the crank design and harmonic advantages over a v8 crank.
I assume amongst other reasons, this is why honda dont do a V8
i agree... should be something like HS-X (Honda Sports Model X) or something - X anyway.... LOLQuote:

Yes, but keep in mind the m5 is massive and luxurious, if ur giving up some creature comforts, u'd wanta be more than just a bit faster than it.
This has to compete with the new GTR and SUPRA which will be released, and due to its upper price... win.
I agree with 91'lude it should be a v8 or even a v10 its not like they havent had experience building them even though its only been for racing.
In oz it costs the same price for a new NSX off the showroom floor as a 911, & for the price they demand for a NSX (Honda's premier sports/super car) they shouldnt an issue doing the r&d to make it past emissions and power output either v8 or v10 etc
man this turns me on !!! PS Qball has a slow car
Why cant they just design the engine like 2 s2000 engines. That would be a killer.
I wanna see a Honda 8000rpm V10! If BMW and Porsche can make highly revving V10's that can pass European emissions, I see no reason why Honda can't engineer something at least as good.
Though with Hondas, they always seem to want to achieve more with less.
its not that, its their japanese power restriction. They are already at the upper limit with the v6, any more torque with those revs and its over that agreed power cap.
