This video probably best explains how the NSX's hybrid powertrain will work. It appears, contrary to Acura's press release, that the NSX will utilize three electric motors (not two) -- one for each front wheel as well as one assisting the gasoline engine through the transaxle.
Of course, for now it's all vaporware anyway, but the video is entertaining.

interesting concept, I always knew the CR-X's technology would eventually pay off in the future.

Didn't IL test a reversed (FWD) version of this powertrain? So how is it vaporware?

Well I wasn't excited about it before, but I am after watching that.
