New Acura NSX in GT5?

[Smuttysy]

lines are way too sharp for an aston, aston tends to have higher waist line and rear deck as well.

It still looks a bit generic so far.

That rear looks more like a Chevrolet, kinda like the newer Camaro, especially with that "fold" line in the middle.

to those asking for a test course, TGTT has the potential of becoming GT6's test track and free run course, as it should have been in GT5.

The full version, in which there aren't barriers and all side roads are available, has a straight away that's about twice as long, and even excluding that there's at least 1/3 more room to fool around.
PD should really use their licenses better.

Bring back the S2000!!!!!!!!!!

According to google, the S3000 should be released in late 2012 or early 2013.

That date isn't confirmed by any means, but the "S" series will certainly have a new batch. On the other hand, the reason why the S2000 got discontinued is that sales dropped tremendously on its last years, and also honda didn't do well in 2010 and 2011 ("hyundai is the new honda").

("hyundai is the new honda").

I hate Hyundai with a passion
Kia on the other hand is coming out with some nice cars...

 

[Short Bus]

Oh, so there's less complicated ways? Then please share these new ways so we can e-mail Porsche, Jaguar, & several other manufacturers since they plan to introduce this exact system (aka KERS) into road cars in the future.

In short, you may to keep learning more about KERS. It's not an alternative to nitrous.

If this car truly is in an unrestricted class when it races at the Nurburgring, and it has less than 500 hp, and it's not getting beat.... then I think GM needs to show up in a race prepared ZR1. I seriously doubt the fuel mileage advantage this car has would hold up against something with nearly double the horsepower.

...and yes, there are less complicated ways to push a button for a boost of horsepower. Nitrous is one of them, using methanol with a turbocharged car is another. Active aero can have a similar effect (think F1).

Alternate cut form Acura. Didnt know they used it for the real unveil.

how about Le Mans.

and road legal cars will never have nitrous boost as an option (I know there's one but still).

I wonder how much PD got paid for making this video. It is kinda big deal... since that is what they used as the backdrop for the car's international unveiling.

 

[Renan GTRedKim]

Sweet! Can't wait! I think in Feb will be avaiable for us.

 

[benzoboy]

What an awesome looking car, really excited for this. Not to mention the track, the track looks fantastic, reminds me of Ridge Racer 7 in some respects.

 

[W3H5]

type in youtube "mt eden sierra leone" for some good dubstep

Youtube isn't on my list of available sites.

 

[fitftw]

I'm convinced that Honda has forgotten how to build a proper sports car.

This. It looks heavy and way too futuristic. No soul whatsoever. I still prefer the first generation.

Also look at the new Honda Beat. It's FF, not MR. Like a del Slo...

BOOM

Aston Martin? Cadillac Cien?

Because of the shape of a light? Some of you guys need to read and study a bit about design. If its like that, then the Corvette its a copy from the Ferraris, because it uses the "same" taillight design. That's stupid.

What makes a car be an Aston Martin its way more than that. There's a whole design language involved. Proportions, the shape of the grill, the DLO (day light opening, the glass part of the car)...

If some of you say the front lights shape remember a bit of an Audi R8 (because of the way they are installed in the car, joined with the bumper air entrance) I may agree a bit. But let's think and analyze car design before writing non-sense things.

The car is pretty and its as inovative and advanced as the original NSX was at that time. The original NSX was born in a time where supercars was unreliable and uncomfortable. The NSX born to prove that wrong together with an awesome and efficient engine plus perfect driving capabilities. Without a dramatic, but pure design.

What this NSX does? Almost the same. But now half of supercars are more reliable and advanced, they gotta be the leap ahead. The torque vectoring capabilities of these engines combined with the double wishbone suspension and some other bits will make this car a monster on corners.

I know this car makes some purists mad. But think about the essence of the car. It does the same as the old NSX did in 1989.

I like pure cars. I love the BMW E30 M3, the old Porsches, the real, pure, mechanic cars. But we are living in modern times, with different needs. It's better to have a sport car that its hybrid and do corners with perfection than have no sports car at all.

What Toyota did with the GT 86 was brilliant, but the proposal was completely different than the NSX. Or the AE86 or similar cars were in the same category as the NSX? Nope, the NSX is a supercar. It never was cheap (it was compared to Ferraris, etc, and this will be), as an 86 was and it'll be now. 2 different proposals.

 

[Sam48]

Just thought I'd point out some significant things about the new trailer (Sorry if they've already been)

First off, at 1:05, Suzuka looks proper. The shadows have been reversed to give it the look it always had on TV during races such as the F1 Japanese GP.


Second, the dockyard track looks like the one from the old Toyota FT-86 trailer that we got in 09'. (Only now it has dynamic day night)

Thirdly, the new bowl like track looks excellent.

They're both from the same "Test Course" track.

I wouldn't be so sure just yet, but I'm guessing you're probably correct.

 

[Steve Mcqueen]

The Acura NSX concept looks like a cross between the
Lotus Esprit concept and the Audi R8 e-tron concept

 

[sumbrownkid]

But yet the k20 powered CR-Z gets better mileage than the actuall hybrid... And you got Toyota and the LFA!

And it won't sell because the cr-z is a flop to begin with, and the k20 motor, no matter how much it stirs the genitilia of a honda fan, will be obsolete in emission standards worldwide soon. Instead Honda should move forward, but many of their fans don't like to accept that hybrids can make the regular gas chuggers look slow.

It's a very prudent and smart move for Honda to pursue the hybrid route. Like it or not, hybrids may not be the final answer to pollution, but it's definitely better than doing nothing.

Now HPD should start working on GT-E concept!

 

[play3man]

Oh god, I want to know more about the track in the trailer...Awwhh.. Yamauchi go and tell us something

 

[CSLACR]

A typically indirect, not very informative vague video release from PD.

People are already seeing all kinds of things, including "revisions" to existing tracks in the game.
Unlikely, at best.

What do I think this video means? Nothing. Just something to grab attention. (It worked, by the way)

[NEPALII]

Bullocks. Full of bullocks.

Unless you're telling me you know better than Porsche for creating a $800,000 hybrid supercar & duo of GT3 Hybrid race cars which have proven to be extremely competitive.

This sounds pretty mean to me for a hybrid car.



It's funny you claim this knowing full well you have no idea what this car actually sounds like in real life.

Even cuter is that you're confusing this car with a typical hybrid. The hybrid of this car is the drivetrain, which as Honda says, "It uses a pair of electric motors to generate torque and apply it to the front wheels for better cornering control and improved handling."
Sounds like a performance machine to me.

That's a shame seeing as you seem to have the completely opposite view of it.

They are just my opinions, I'm not claiming anything as a fact. And wow, that video did surprise me. I'm just not a fan of hybrids, that's all.

 

[Short Bus]

how about Le Mans.

and road legal cars will never have nitrous boost as an option (I know there's one but still).

I have no idea about Le Mans. I'm kinda being led to believe that this 24 hours of Nurburgring has very few restrictions on what teams can do to their cars. If this 911 is winning in mostly unrestricted classes then they should be coming up against vastly more powerful cars. If that's actually the case, that the hybrid Porsche is beating more powerful cars.... then I'm on my way to conceding the point, but I just don't think that's likely to be true.

The only point I'm trying to make is that I question the idea that hybrid technology is outright superior when it's compared to cars that aren't allowed to fully develop their own cars because they're restricted by a set of rules and regulations.

 

[g0ld]

That banked turn reminded me of Avus.

 

[benzoboy]

I've just been thinking about this new NSX concept, among the other recent Japanese releases.

Toyota GT86, GT-R, now this NSX concept. The Japanese sports car industry seems to be on it's way back in, imagine a 2010's version of the Mitsubishi GTO or something similar. Now I'm speculating myself into unrealistic excitement again

Dont forget the new supra, lexus lfa

Are you 100% sure about that? Last I checked it was one of the cleanest burning lowest emission engines... Offcourse when you delete all the cats and emission control systems it can become a bit dirty like any other engine.

 

[JrDarknes]

They brought back the GTR,Fairlady Z, Nsx,AE86. Just bring back the supra and Silvia and its gonna be a crazy decade.

Japanese cars are not boring! Just be happy it isn't another GTR 👍
