Mark your calendars - Production ready NSX debuts at the Detroit Auto Show

[Mook]

Detroit is going to be INSANE.

After years of foreplay, well... let's just say we're ready. The coupe, its zirconium e-coat and its twin-turbocharged Sport Hybrid power unit – aimed at Ferrari 458 Italia performance for Audi R8 money – will be uncovered on January 12, 2015 at 11:50 AM Eastern time, and you can watch it as it happens at www.youtube.com/acura. There's a teaser video, below, to whet your appetites.

Next month's NSX debut kicks off what John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda, calls "The Year of Honda." Speaking to members of the media at an event in Detroit Tuesday, Mendel said that following the NSX, Honda will debut a new version of the Pilot SUV in 2015, as well as a redesigned Ridgeline pickup. Mendel also confirmed that Honda will launch small-displacement, turbocharged engines for use in production vehicles. As for Acura, the company's luxury division will offer the new ILX this year, and Mendel hinted that the RDX and MDX crossovers will get a few updates to make them more competitive within their respective segments.

agreed there will be a lot of interesting cars at the shows this year. hopefully acura will pull a lexus and use this to sell new luxury/sport cars instead of the same boring fwd shit they're making now.

It's been what 4-5 years so they probably don't remember what the NSX is.

I quickly began to lose my boner after watching the video and continuing to read.

It will probably be another year until cars hit the lots lol. This is the longest most drawn out product launch I can remember.

I have a friend working on the new nsx, says it is going to be a hybrid but not for efficiency. They are using the huge torque to get the puppy off the line and then some high spooling engine (maybe turbo) for the speed.
