Acura NSX Concept - Do Want!

The dynamically-styled NSX Concept gives an indication of the next great performance vehicle from the Acura brand.


Making use of lightweight materials and a mid-mounted V-6 engine, the NSX Concept employs several new technologies for Acura, including application of Acura's innovative new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) hybrid system.

Utilizing an unique 2 Electric Motor Drive Unit with a bilateral torque adjustable control system, the all-new hybrid all-wheel-drive system can instantly generate negative or positive torque to the front wheels during cornering. In addition to the handling benefits of the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system, a next-generation VTEC V-6 engine with direct-injection works in concert with a dual clutch transmission with built-in electric motor.

The new Acura supercar, expected to debut in the next three years, will be developed by an engineering team led by Honda R&D Americas, Inc.
