Well, wasnt that the original rumor. The NSX going from a V6 straight to a V10.

Correction

The v10 rumor was from last year & as it stands, apparently there is no v8 in the works either right now. This latest rumor points to a hybrid v6. Sorry for the confusion but I did not want to start a new thread so I dug up this old 1.

I doubt that this will be called an NSX & I highly doubt that they can get 450hp out of a hybrid v6 but I do see them sticking an IMA & a 3.7 in a SH-AWD vehicle instead of creating a RWD NSX.

Of course, because all of the parts, the platform, and the technology is already in the Honda parts bin- it's far easier. Creating a new NSX would be an act of "emulating" [the success of] other companies, so we better never go that route!

HONDA KNOWS BEST!- No RWD, no V10, no V8! Only SuperDuper/SHAWD-Y/UBER Accords FTMFW!

Acura and Honda news is not news. Its really lies and rumors.

They should really be sourced from the National Enquirer....

-ELVIS is ALIVE!!
-ALIENS make deal with OBama!!
-Acura will no longer be passed by Hyundai and have a V-8
