Acura NSX will make Nurburgring in 7:37
 
According to the latest spy shots, the future Aucra NSX will have a Nurburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 37 seconds. If we consider that the Nissan GT-R has a lap time of 7:29 we can imagine that the NSX will be a real competition on the sports car market. The latest record was achieved by the Pagani Zonda with a lap time of 7:27 (only 10 seconds faster than the NSX). The 2011 NSX will be powered by a V10 engine that will deliver 500 hp and will have an average consumption of 10 liter per 100 km. The final design will probably be inspired by the Advanced Sports Car Concept unveiled last year at the Detroit Auto Show. 2011 Acura NSX spy shots
Honda is pretty busy with the development of the successor of the legendary NSX. After a period of silence, Honda sends new prototypes for testings, and this latest spy shots were taken in Germany. The previous prototypes were a S2000 resembling "mule", but this latest one looks more compactly and more muscular. As you know, the future NSX will be badged as an Acura. Initially it was supposed to be called like this in America, but Acura will also go in the Japanese market starting 2010. The "NSX" is still a code name, as the official name has not been released yet. The 2011 NSX will be powered by a V10 engine that will deliver 500 hp and will have an average consumption of 10 liter per 100 km.

Acura’s future is all about RWD?
The future NSX that will be unveiled next year at the Tokyo Auto Salon is just the beginning of Acura’s future RWD line-up. After the NSX supercar will go into production in autumn 2010, Acura will start working on a new range of rear-wheel-drive Acura sports sedans. Honda has decided to switch to rear-wheel drive for its large sedans and develop a range of more powerful engines. Honda has aspirations to compete with Lexus, Infiniti and BMW in Europe, and Acura is the obvious platform from which to launch that assault. The first new saloon will be a BMW 7-series rival, scheduled for launch in 2015. As about the NSX, Autocar reports it will indeed be powered by a 4.5-litre V10 engine, delivering around 550bhp and offering racecar-like acoustics. It will also have Chevrolet Corvette overtones, loosing the design of the NSX concept model that has been unveiled at the 2007 Detroit show. Acura is also working on a S2000-based sports car, which would replace the aging Honda two-seater and will compete with the Mercedes SLK. 2010 Acura NSX?
Honda is testing for a long time now the NSX supercar; and even if it won’t be unveiled until 2010, Best Magazine gave us a pretty good idea of how the supercar will look like. The NSX will be sold under the Acura badge, and will be powered by a 4.5 liter V10 engine that will deliver 550 hp. The AWD super will make the Nürburgring in just 7minutes and 30 seconds: better than the Porsche Carrera GT. The Japanese magazine expects the car to be priced between 12,500,000 and 15,000,000 yen (that’s $125.000-$150.000). You can read more about our preview of the 2010 Acura NSX in here.
