now that is a nice design, compaired to the american pos where there team probably used 60's american corvettes are their design inspiration or some bs, because that is what the american 'market' wants

Paint it red and you've got an Enzo look-a-like.

I'd love to see one in the flesh. The Acura design on page one though is a massive dog's breakfast.

When I saw the HSC concept a few years ago at the Melbourne Motor Show It just looked fantastic.There were always a large number of people around the exhibit.I remember saying to myself "Good on ya Honda,it's a beauty!".
Boy, did they crush my dream

!

It may be a repost but the link below shows the HSC on the road,to me it looked sensational.

Please Honda, don't let the Americans design Honda's next supercar.

The reason why the HSC concept was canned was because Honda decided to go from a mid engine V6 to a front engined V10.

Nothing wrong with V8s. Unless you dislike Ferraris. I'm guessing the reason why they are going for a V10 is because they want to exceed 500hp with 5L. If they did a 5L V8, each cylinder would be huge and would have filling inefficiencies. If they went for a shorter stroke to keep high RPM, then the pistons would be heavy as well.

This is what I think the NSX should be:

HSC body
6.0 L V12 DOHC ADVANCED I-VTEC (and just for the fun of it supercharger and twin-turbo combo lol...)
SH-AWD

Honda was unable to complete their production model. Rumors have since surfaced that an unenthusiastic responce to the concept sent the model back to the engineers for a reworking. The concept was designed by Acura's Los Angeles-based design team.

Why oh why do they let the Americans design cars

Ayrton Senna probably did mickey flips in his grave when they rolled this abortion out ...

Yep and that's my greatest fear with Honda.
I remember seeing a couple of film clips with the designers of the Acura concepts and they were clearly out of their depth.They sounded like a couple of juvenile computer geeks trying to explain their concept using phrases like "Kind-of- cool" .They might as well have chewed gum and worn baseball caps back to front!
The first concept they came up with,I cant remember the name well,that particular design had to have been "created" by a drug induced pow wow session by the designers-really those designers should've been charged with committing an obscene act in public.The car looked like some alien spawn!YUCK!!!
