Next Gen NSX Cancelled

By Speedhunters

Car Culture at Large

Sadly, it seems like there’s a never ending streak of bad news coming out of the auto industry these days. The latest is the word that Honda is scrapping the new NSX, a car which has been in development for some time now. I suppose it’s not too surprising considering Honda is pulling out of Formula 1 and announcing cuts elsewhere. Building high dollar, low production sports cars just doesn’t make sense given the current state of the auto world. It’s sad because the new 500+ hp NSX was shaping up to be a true supercar, just like the original was when it came out in the early ’90s. There is still a chance the project will be revived when things get better for Honda which will hopefully be sooner rather than later.

that one does look as good as the othe models but the nsx is still a great car

I agree with Nes! with the fact that the car looks awkward for a nsx…

But anyway, I like to think that when the crisis will be over, it’s gonna be the fifties again and we’re gonna get all the great cars then. And they’re probably gonna be cheap

I think of NSX’s as Corvette fighters.

It doesn’t look like it was going to be a good design. At least from what I can see on this spy picture.
