New Honda NSX: worth the wait?

This post is for grandad, who was oh-so-eager for another post. Enjoy!

At last, the promised replacement of Ayrton Senna's favourite car has been revealed in its performance form. And my, does it look good. You can see that Honda haven't been half hearted about this resurrection. 

Basically, it is a four wheel drive hybrid supercar for a cheaper price than its Italian rivals. It incorporates a twin turbo V6 that drives the rear wheels, but also 3 electric motors. Two for the front two wheels, one to fill in for the turbo time. The engine itself bears resemblance to the new Honda formula 1 engine used by Mclaren in this years formula one season ( more on that in a future post). So did Honda plan for this car to incorporate some of its newly discovered racing tech? This new NSX also incorporates A LOT of complicated electric systems, making it all very difficult to simply explain here. Just know that there are a lot of driver assists, distancing it from its old-school predecessor. On the plus side, these systems result in a 0-60 time of under 3 seconds, making it faster than even a Nissan GTR! This is curtesy of over 550 BHP, but this could be combined or purely the V6. 

The use of extremely low weight materials mean that the car has a very low overall weight and centre of gravity. And, even after all the tech, the price will also be very cut-price compared to its rivals. A price of about 150000 when it comes to the UK price. So will this car prove as incredible as its predecessor? We will have to wait and see when it lands in the summer

Ps. It will have a Honda badge in the UK,as opposed to the Acura badge you see here
