The HSC concept looks like a cross between an NSX and an Enzo!

That Kiwami definitely looks European, like an 80's Italdesign style

I'm not a fan of the taillights, but it is very close to the enzo in design.

Cool

It's dead sexy. I hope the finished product looks similar like the RSX did with its concept car.

I think it looks like a cross between NSX, Enzo, and Lambo, look at these huge air vent grill in both front and back

I like everything except the rear view. I'm picking up a little too much small-dick version of the Corvette back there. Other than that, very well done. Not as stunningly beautiful as the original design, but then what could be...

That interior is a lot like the Dualnote concept from what I recall, hopefully the drivetrain will be too (400 hp, 40 MPG from V6 and 2 50hp motors, one in each front wheel, meaning AWD capability, without a lot of extra weight)

Yeah I see the Enzo in there. The tails look like an after thought on the design though. Overall a nice replacement for the current car.

Enzo In Sight For New NSX


With Enzo looks, carbon bodyshell and gullwing doors, you would expect this supercar to wear a Ferrari badge. But in fact, this is the Honda Sports Concept (HSC) - and it's tipped to become the all-new NSX. What's more, just like the Italian stunner, it will cause a real stir with cutting-edge technology.

The current NSX has been on sale since 1991, and its all-alloy construction and no-compromise chassis created a vehicle capable of worrying traditional supercar brands. Honda aims to do the same with this model, using carbon-fibre panels similar to those on the likes of the Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT.

It has the looks to match them, too; the headlamps resemble the existing NSX, but otherwise the styling is all-new. The sharp edges and flat sides aren't only for effect, though, as the HSC's aerodynamics have been tuned to give greater downforce at speed without the need for big external spoilers. At the rear, the LED tail-lights have a holographic 3D effect and a glass screen exposes the mid-mounted engine. Unlike the Enzo, the Honda makes do with a revamped 3.0-litre V6 rather than a V12, but it now produces 300bhp and is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox. The interior, accessed via scissor-action doors, uses blue carbon fibre and a minimalist 'skeletal' dash structure, while the gearlever is replaced by a paddleshifter. Yet despite the technology, Honda insists that the new NSX will be no more expensive than the old car when it arrives in 2005.
