The rumor mill is once again churning out Acura NSX news and we're completely on the fence about it.
As recently as October, a Honda executive told Britain's Autocar that they are interested in researching a next-gen NSX and that a hybrid/electric "fun as well as economical" sports car project would be interesting.
Now Autocar is reporting that Honda is further along in the project than they had let on earlier. In fact, they're ready to debut a concept, called the Super Sports, at the Detroit Auto Show.
The Super Sports concept will join the Small Sports EV Concept in Honda's stable of future performance vehicles. There are no details on what powers either the Super Sports concept or the Small Sports EV Concept

Keep it light please. And if it's the supposed "V6 with 2 or 4 electric hub motors" type of powertrain, it could be a fast one too.

The basic shape looks like several other 'super' cars. The NSX was pretty original, it would be nice if it's replacement could avoid looking like a 458 or McLaren or DBS.

I wish it would be a 911 or R8 competitor in terms of performance/price.

Looks like it's 86 size.
Any bets it's on the same platform?

@altimadude05, I'll take that bet. The only thing honda and toyota share is the same home country and maybe a few suppliers.

Remember the Acura DNX DualNote concept? It will be similar in concept (of course updated) to the DualNote. V6/Hybrid/E-SH-awd. It should fall in the 400 to 500hp range.

Huh... I just hope it doesn't end up like CRZ.
