Tony Stark's New Mid-Engine Acura in the Avengers Movie

[Parker]

Well, Acura is sayings it's a one off...remember, Audi debuted it's production R8 and R8 Spyder in the Ironman films (the actual design debuted in iRobot, with a working concept debuting at a Car show).

The rear looks nice, reminds one of the LED rear lights of Aston's One-77.

I hope the NSX make a comeback in one way or the other.......I have no idea why Acura discontinued it, but it used to have a strong market back in the day..........for 80k+, it was a poor man's Ferrari

They were hella fun to drive.  I haven't driven a GTR though, but I've heard the latest one is a beast to drive and for around $80k it's hard to beat.

It became just "poor".

Acura did zero R&D on replacements and it never scaled to the supercar horsepower than an 80K car should have.

You can get an M6 now with 550HP, why would you want an NSX with less?

In it's heyday though... the NSX was really nice.

PS, it was actually a Honda in the later years, they even stopped putting the Acura Badge on it. (Mostly because you couldn't buy it in the states at the time I'm guessing)

Test drove a GTR... ridiculously awesome.

By far the best the best current Japanese car you can get.

anybody fans of hennessy, the car not the booze. the venom is basically a lotus with an extra 8" of wheel base and a zr1 engine.

Hennessy motor sports has done a lot of crazy shit to some cars.

I saw their 1000HP viper once... Talk about a crazy beast.

This looks cool too.

Honda did work on the next NSX, but pulled the plug on a production car, and instead made it a racecar
