2016 NSX to be priced close to an Audi R8

[Mook]

Its trying to achieve Ferrari speed but will get raped by a GTR or a Z06. Smart Acura...

Among the info was a strong estimate of the NSX's performance potential. "We have to achieve the type of acceleration that the customer is achieving with the Ferrari," said Klaus to What Car?. "More importantly we have to achieve this every day and also at the Nürburgring." Assuming Acura's supercar is as actually quick as a 458 Italia, then it could hit 60 miles per hour in around 3.5 seconds.

Klaus also claims that the wickedly fast performance could come at a relative bargain for the class. The price is reportedly being benchmarked against the Audi R8, which would put the NSX around $130,000 in the US. While hardly cheap, it would still be a healthy discount off a 458.

This car took way too long to get to market in my opinion. Ferrari is probably only a few years out from the 458's replacement.

New Z06, I'd assume a new GTR by or around then, as you said, new Ferrari, new Lambo, new everything.

it wont be as fast so they'll either pull a lexus and say its about how nice it "drives" or pull an audi and say how nice its interior is.

Isn't the LFA a wildly competent car though?

The LFA sounds like pure sex.

I think it was like the Carrera GT, not necessarily world beating, but just a technical marvel. The Nurburgring edition was stupid fast at the 'Ring as I remember, but was just way too expensive.

Damn that looks good though.

If rumors are true, the mid engine Vette will come out and dp that thing.

Pricing it to the r8 means it could cost between 120 and 200k.
