New Hampshire Honda dealer highlights NSX concept

Berlin City Honda, your NH Honda dealer is very excited to find out that the new NSX will be wearing the Honda badge vs. the Acura badge.
In 1991, Acura shocked the exotic car world with the introduction of the NSX, a supercar that stood up to models like the Ferrari 328. However, as good things can't last forever, the NSX was discontinued in 2005 due to slow sales. Of course, it didn't take long before people started talking about when a successor would show up, especially considering the fact that the NSX was said to go into production a few years back, but was denied on several occasions.
However, rumor mills don't just shut down and the latest information churning them is that an NSX successor has always been in the cards. At first it was believed to come out in 2009, but the economic crisis made sure that didn't happen so this future model is still a few years away. It was first thought to be powered by a 4.5L V10 engine, but Honda President Takanobu Ito has already chatted it up with Automotive News and stated that the future NSX won't come with a V10 engine. The idea for an engine that size was actually dropped in 2008, then the company decided that the car should be environmentally friendly and still fun to drive. "That's the kind of sports car we want to make," Ito said.
The future NSX will be positioned as a high-performance counterpart to the two-seat Honda CR-Z sporty hybrid. According to Ito, the company is working very hard on the new car and now rumors are suggesting that it will go hybrid. We'll get official confirmation of whatever will be under that hood eventually. Now that this supercar has a new brand behind it, your New Hampshire Honda dealer, Berlin City Honda, will have it in stock and ready for purchase as soon as they are released.
Exterior and Interior
Unfortunately, not much has been released on the look of the future NSX, so for right now we can just speculate on its exterior design. We figure that since the project is still about three-four years away, the engineers probably don't even have a final design set up. However, we do expect to see the classic NSX design with a modern twist. Acura has unveiled lots of concepts lately, but we don't really expect any of them to give a preview on the future supercar. The NSX will feature a body composed of carbon fiber panels over an all-aluminum unit body frame, short overhangs, and a large wheelbase. The exterior will feature slick and elegant lines, a lowered ride, headlamps like no other Acura model, and a rear wing.
The interior will be defined by sportiness and elegance. There will not only be racing bucket seats, aluminum pedals, and a three-spoke steering wheel, but also numerous carbon fiber inserts and all the latest technologies. This is going to be the perfect sports car for any New Hampshire Honda fan looking for an exhilarating ride through the rolling hills.
Even though we don't have this amazing car in stock yet, we have a great selection of other new and used Honda models to choose from. So feel free to visit with any of our knowledgeable sale guides at our dealership in Gorham.
