How will the NSX compete with the Audi R8 V10 and Porsche 911 Turbo? All three are in the same price range of $155K.

My personal opinion is this car would have been so much better had they dropped the electric motors and battery and lowered the price by $60K. The high price means it will compete with R8's with Lamborghini engines and 911 turbo's. At 3800 lbs the NSX weighs 500 lbs more than a corvette.
Also, Will people be willing to spend that kind of money on a car with an Acura badge?

As a young girl in San Jose, California, Christensen worked on classic cars with her father. “Northern California has a heavy muscle-car and hot-rod culture. I grew up around muscle cars and hot rods.” She studied the bounty in her dad’s garage. “He was a Mopar guy,” she recalls. He cycled through a Plymouth GTX, a Dodge Super Bee, and a Dodge Dart. “When I was 11 or 12 he got into hot rods and he bought a ’32 roadster.” Christensen was immersed in the classic-car scene and found her personal favorite: “My favorite car is the ’67 Chevelle. It’s simple, beautiful, and timeless.”

it’s very hard to mess up the styling of a mid-engine sports car. The mechanical layout, very desirable to serious racers, allows excellent proportions for a two-seater, and it just seems emotionally desirable to most of us. So, yes, it’s very hard to screw up, but Acura has managed it.

Unlike German and Italian junk, the NSX won't become your service manager's best friend.
With that said, the GT-R is probably a better value.
I happen to prefer Japanese engineering which takes priority over styling.
To each, their own.

how many cocks did she suck to get that job? ::)
-
Always wanted to drop 6 figures on an Acura.
-
Getting the job was not the important part. Having her design selected out of many was.
well I guess I don't understand these processes...the concept was 'interwoven dynamic' ::), apparently they ran out of money a few times over the years, who knows what's up with these companies.
ps. all acura cars must have "the beak" btw ::)

People that can afford these cars really don't care if X is faster than B and is 55k cheaper or better value
Many cars are cheaper and faster than ferraris and Porsches for half of the price if not more, but do people give a shit that buy them.... No
Only poor people justify performance per dollar and bang for the buck , hence that's where American cars come in. Nothing cheap about euros and then Japanese

gay... obviously the designers favourite car is the R8. Not one bit reminiscent of the old NSX..
would never buy a car designed by a woman anyways.. the design is kind of stupid... for one why have big stupid grilles in the front when the car is rear engine powered..

It has "big stupid grills" grills in the front for cooling, where many of the intercoolers go. It is AWD and has electric engines in the front as well. The R8 and the Porsche 911 Turbo, Porsche 918, Mclaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari, Lamborghini have big grills up front and they are mid engine (with a few mentioned that have hybrid drive as well). Sometimes the best place to put the intercoolers is up front.

The designer says, the engineers changed the powertrain halfway through the design process adding a bunch of cooling requirements. That's why it looks half-finished because they had to slap the openings on after the styling was done. Looks like the cooling is for the front side motor...

I disagree especially when it comes to these guys which fall outside of the higher end marques

Acura isn't Ferrari or Porsche , people interested in the Acura can't afford a Ferrari or Lamborghini , I don't see the demographic being the same as Porsche , Maybe they're trying to sway potential R8 owner's their way. Same with Corvette owners not Acura's demographic. I would say they're trying to be the premium Japanese car but the GT-R is already well established and it's not really selling great.
The NSX is a niche car in a niche market already , the only real competition is the GT-R or maybe an R8

it's a beautiful toy. let's hope they fixed that transmission issue.....I hope the market show Acura some love. the competition is fierce...anyway, the NSX has always been a Poor man Ferrari. it will do well.......watch out, the New Supra is on the way, if only the final product look like this, now, that would be something to compete against

The Acura NSX (old version) is on my list of cars to get. Sadly, you can only find them with damaged interiors. You can find them on ebaymotors for mid 30s
that body style is ageless.

I think it was originally supposed to be a twin turbo V6, and then they decided to do a hybrid drive. Which means intercoolers and plumbing up front for the Hybrid SHAWD.
But, of course, that's if we are talking about this NSX design. The new NSX design was supposed to be a front/mid engine V10 with SHAWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive). That designed for canned, but was then resurrected as the HSV-010 GT. Which had a front/mid engine 3.4 liter V8
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_HSV-010_GT (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_HSV-010_GT).
And then the new new NSX design (the current one) came out. But...we can go further than that. The old new design for the NSX was the Honda HSC, which debuted at the 2003 Toyko Motor Show. It was not confirmed as a NSX replacement, but the handwriting was on the wall. This I believe had a naturally aspirated V6.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_HSC (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_HSC).
Bottom line, Honda/Acura, like Toyota/Lexus take too long in the Concept to Market gestation for certain vehicles.
This new NSX was shooting for Ferrari 458 performance, and now the 458 has been replaced with the 488. Just like the original NSX had the FERRARI 308 benchmarked. And that was replaced by the 348 by the time the NSX came out.

Why spend so much time and money into a car that no one really wants? ???
Why wear an armani suit when you can just wear sweat pants and a T-shirt? Why drive an NSX when you can just drive an old Tercel? Some people enjoy cars and living well. Also, driving a car that can perform like this one does is a thrilling experience and let's not forget it's a pussy magnet.
Keep in mind, very few people buy two seat cars in this price range. So, to answer your question, most people don't spend this much. money on a car.

my feeling is the old nsx was inspired by the 959. The "X" meant it was a platform for new technology.
This new thing looks like an attempt to emulate the 918 spyder except I really don't see what's new in this car technically...? It's a little sad they called it nsx. The whole exercise seems more marketing driven than anything else.
It's probably just that margins are too tight to allow for much serious R&D at honda...hmmm

Look at the timelines of the Honda NSX and 959. They were gunning for the FERRARI 308. It was meant to offer FERRARI performance for less. The 959 was a Supercar whose competitor was the 288 GTO and possibly the F40.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_959 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_959)
Yes, they did do something similar to the 918, but way less. I forgot how the hybrid system works. I don't know if it is like the 918's.

if I recall correctly the 959 came out before the F40 like a couple years...ferrari built the F40 to compete with the 959 in group b racing, so it was likely influenced by both cars. 8)

i didn't mean to suggest it was intended as a competitor to the 959 but more of a flagship car with new tech that trickles down to the rest of the vehicles. according to that first video the chief engineer calls the new NSX an 'exotic sports car' not a 'supercar' which seems about right to me.

288 GTO was for Group B

Then the 288 GTO Evoluzione was the bridge to the F40. Which was designed to celebrate the marque's 40th anniversary.

I got you.
Odd, how the chief engineers says that, yet before they had stated that they bencharmed the 458 in terms of performance. Now, that the figures are out, and the car weighs 3,800+ pounds, they have to save face. The 458 has now been replaced with the 488, which has 660 hp and is lighter than the NSX. The NSX has AWD and the hybrid drive I believe does does the "torque filled" thing.
Will be interesting to see how the NSX does.

would never buy a car designed by a woman anyways..
Why does the gender of the designer matter? Are you suggesting that testicles are required to buy a car? Do you refuse to be seen by women dentists? Would you quit your job if a woman was your boss and/or supervisor?
Additionally, like all cars these days, the body of NSX was designed by a team - likely a large team, with designers, aerodynamicists, marketers and structural engineers. So, at best, the car was based on her design concept. Would you not buy a car unless everyone involved in the design was male?

There was a time when the value crashed on these and have started to go back up a few years ago. Funny how cars depreciate for a while, then become collectible or classic and prices start to rise again. My favorite car is the 2005 Ford GT. Just love it. Hate the new release. Those 2005's have went up about 50-100% in price.

let me explain this to you. they couldn't get the engineer to call the car a "supercar" he won't do it because he's a serious person. this dumb bimbo get trotted out to push it because they think she's cute and will say whatever they tell her to like "it's all about weight saving" hahaha...aka sucking cock!

How could engineers not get another 9 mph to make it a 200mph car? Shouldn't it be 200mph or bust when you're that close?

So if your most important market is America and the people buying your CRV's, Civic's, Pilot's, and Odyssey's are predominately women, doesn't it make sense that some of your designers are American women. It wouldn't surprise me if she makes it to Vice President some day. She's already being fast tracked.

A lot. The Bugatti uses about 500 hp to get to 200 mph and another 500 hp to get to 250. Headwind and friction are not a cars friend.

the way things are going at that company it wouldn't surprise me if she became the ceo, by that time maybe there will be only 8 people left there for her to boss around

There was a time when the value crashed on these and have started to go back up a few years ago. Funny how cars depreciate for a while, then become collectible or classic and prices start to rise again. My favorite car is the 2005 Ford GT. Just love it. Hate the new release. Those 2005's have went up about 50-100% in price.
= one of the bubbles created by central banks putting interest rates at zero....

Garbage
yup, always had problems with American auto, never an issue with Japanese.

For instance in Germany demand for sports cars has been dropping for years. Small, compact and midsize SUV's are very much in demand, double digit growth year-on-year

And at only 400K, what a bargain.......

The ones 10 years ago were about $200K and today are going for 300-400K. Unlike some Ferraris or Lambos that lose a lot the day you buy it these went up in value. The key is a small one time production run.

That is because they have all become an apathetic bunch and like living and driving in shit-boxes as their government wants them too.

I can't believe the negative comments towards this car. It's a fucking beast for a hybrid. Plus it looks sharp. It's no Nissan G-tr but it's nice.
CVT transmission? :D
Joke joke.

I was getting ready to say, it has a DCT, not a CVT.

I think it was originally supposed to be a twin turbo V6, and then they decided to do a hybrid drive. Which means intercoolers and plumbing up front for the Hybrid SHAWD.
But, of course, that's if we are talking about this NSX design. The new NSX design was supposed to be a front/mid engine V10 with SHAWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive). That designed for canned, but was then resurrected as the HSV-010 GT. Which had a front/mid engine 3.4 liter V8
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_HSV-010_GT (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_HSV-010_GT).
And then the new new NSX design (the current one) came out. But...we can go further than that. The old new design for the NSX was the Honda HSC, which debuted at the 2003 Toyko Motor Show. It was not confirmed as a NSX replacement, but the handwriting was on the wall. This I believe had a naturally aspirated V6.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_HSC (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_HSC).
Bottom line, Honda/Acura, like Toyota/Lexus take too long in the Concept to Market gestation for certain vehicles.
This new NSX was shooting for Ferrari 458 performance, and now the 458 has been replaced with the 488. Just like the original NSX had the FERRARI 308 benchmarked. And that was replaced by the 348 by the time the NSX came out.
Bingo!

You don't like the way it sounds? I think even though a V6 it sounds sick !!

sounds like about 3.5 litre displacement
i see they have this eco boost thing and yup it's a 3.5

It sounds like it is farting and has a bad case of The Runs. Just like how BMW's Twin Turbo engines sound.
Oddly, Alfa's and Maserati's TT V6 sound better.

The video you posted it sounded like garbage, The one I posted I think it sounds awesome. I love the new GT I think it's going to be a another huge success for Ford like the original was. I'm glad they went with a double clutch transmission seeing most American manufactures are dragging their feet , like Chevy , and Dodge , Ford is ahead of the curve for an American company , going with small displacement V6 twin-turbo it's where the market is going.

I'm sure it is a fine car, but at that price tag it is reserved for the mega rich. I'll stick with my GTR.....

That was the race car. It also had antilag. I suspect that there will more comments on the car's exhaust note when it comes to production. V6s tend not to sound as good as I6s, flat 6s, flat fours, V8s, V10s, or V12s. And Turbo V6s tend to sound worse Not unless it's a Ferrari Dino V6.

the motor may be too efficient for the ears. it makes a lot of power at 1500rpm so you don't really have to wind it up and make it "sing"... based on the numbers though that thing should be a great "drivers" car...farts and all :)

It's too expensive. Difficult market segment and it's still a Ford.

Twin turbos make pretty much anything sound awesome.

The limited amount of Ford GTs are pretty much going to be bought be collectors, stored and resold years later for a handsome profit.
GTRs are not cheap, but yeah you see them on the road. Hell, my neighbor has a nice one tuned at Cobb tuning. That thing is sweet!!

People don't realize that most cars today make whispers and they are created exhausts with the rumble just for show.

Garbage
When I was growing up we had an AMC Hornet station wagon that would run for five minutes after you turn It off. AMC was the company that created the Gremlin by sawing two feet off the Hornet. The initial Gremlin Sketch was done on an airplane air sickness bag. The Hornet set my standard very low of what a car should be. I've purposely never driven a BMW because I know I would never be willing to go back. Bevo, it's understandable you would think American cars are garbage. The problem is, you were exposed to Porsche's at an early age, so your standards are very high and expensive.

Don't know if this is any consolation but i was raised in an AMC family too we had three different cars, though they seemed very truck like. We also went through several concorde and eagle sedans which were total tanks, that you could drive until the wheels fell off. AMC eventually purchased Renault (or vice versa) so that meant we had to have one of their junks too! After the whole thing went caput we became a Chrysler family....haha something bizarre about the phenomenon of brand loyalty to American car makers.
the eagle was a tank
