Acura NSX
Acura’s concept sports hybrid “supercar” will now be a production vehicle — a fortunate development for car enthusiasts. Its sculpted, sporty look is evidence that Acura is taking risks and moving beyond its staid image. Power is a premium focus here. It comes from a combination of a twin-turbocharged engine with three electric motors that deliver over 550 total horsepower. Acura boasts that it starts with a “zero delay acceleration,” thanks to a V6 engine that works with the electric motors. The car retains some of the aluminum that made up the entire original model, using it in the space frame and suspension, but combines it with ultra-high-strength steel and carbon fiber. The price might be called super, too: About $150,000.
