looks nice! shame its gonna weigh a ton, and the price tag is gonna be big! I also read its gonna take on the GTR as well, but i doubt its gonna do it well considering honda has a bad habbit of making a good sports car than slapping a huge price tag like the previous gen NSX.... if its gonna cost the same as the GTR, $180,000 than were talking, but if its gonna be more than $200,000+ than ur already looking into Porsche/Ferrari territory, and customer loyalty plays a big factor in these exotic cars

And odds are its gonna be a flappy paddle gb, if ur gonna pay 200k, ur gonna want a fast car, an theres no way a traditional manual gb can keep up with a high tech dual clutch sequential gb, thats why the GTR never had one from the start

Thats what I thought hence why they are implementing an electric motor probe to target either a niche market or to actually showcase the future of honda (hope not) or so people can justify why they spent 200k on a honda when some idiot says why didn't you buy Euro.

I honestly wish they would slap a v8 or v10 or offer 2 models. Think about it with a v8 you have a nice amount of lower power and then when you hit higher in the rev range VTEC kicks in and lets you rape everything.

What I want to know though is if your just taking this car for a cruise can it power itself just of the 2 front wheels? thus deactivating the rear engine?

It really depends on how honda designs the whole electric motor system, too many what if's atm, they could implement the kers system like in F1 or they could make it a constant power source where theres always power feeding the motors there fore making a AWD car, but this could also lead to a 4WD design, where the front motors are only active when its pushed to the limits there fore limiting its use on a daily basis much like the GTR, meaning its a rwd until theres traction loss than the computer will determain how much power to send to the front wheels to correct the steering, angle etc etc.....

As far as making it a fwd or full electric for that matter, that wont be happening, lol, unless they implement some sort of battery packs in the car , so u can run the car purely on electricity than i doubt it will jus run on electricity juice on a daily basis..... Actually come to think of it, Honda should learn a thing or two from Porsche with there racing Hybrid 911 car

It might even end up being much like the CRZ for all we know, atm its nothing but pure speculations.... for the time being, still waiting on the new civic type-R turbo
