Yep they did a nsx turbo for the US market. Left hand drive. 300/350bhp NA and a 450bhp turbo spec. Check it out on YouTube on the gt channel. They basically replicated the Nsx R gt and made it even lighter and faster. Work off art.Not sure what spoon are going to make of it tbh, they ever done anything forced induction?
Be good to see what they come up with.
Looks good enough in my opinion. Shame there isn't a 3-door option. The "R" mode adds weight to the steering, sharpens the throttle and firms up the suspension via the adaptive dampers. At first I thought it was a bit pointless, but come to think about, having a choice between a comfortable setting and a firmer "sport" mode should be handy, especially on UK roads.
Does the rear torsion beam let this car down? I'm not a suspension expert so I'll let someone else answer this question. At least it comes with a proper mechanical diff and Brembo brakes. Dual Axis front suspension is another interesting feature. Interior is decent:
Any weight figures for this?
Fast car. But I'm concerned it's going become another vxr,Cupra,Golf insert generic turbo hot hatch here......
Only recent hot hatch I think is remotely special is the megane trophy 275.
Watch the video at the ring, you wouldnt know it was a honda. 7k redline is disappointing and not sure what happened to vtec? Obviously suited more to midrange grunt than top end power. Unfortunately.
Don't like the noise on the video, hard to make it sound any different from the rest with it being so similar an engine.
Do beleive the cars got a faster lap in it though so come closer to release date expect a full production car run to be released with it going under 7:45....
As already mentioned has anyone seen how much it weighs? I cant find any info on the net... going by its claimed 0-60 its looking like 1400kg!!
Not like I can afford one but its not my cuppa tea... but I'm pleased with Honda for building it... this and the new NSX plus being back in F1 push the company in a better direction I feel.
Weight is no problem for turbo cars

Don't understand the turbo hate... More efficient, more powerful, better to drive.
With all the reg's that new car's have to meet, there's no way in hell a small hatch can not have a turbo and be competitive...
That was the advantage of honda cars
Power to Weight ratio

Not for the gtr. ..Weight is a problem for EVERY car...
