History repeating itself?

[AR]

A Honda salesman I was in contact with was telling me that the NSX will directly compete with the 458, it was the benchmark etc, etc, etc!

Well the 488 is out!

[Pride]

Great timing then.

Considering the NSX is expected to go sub 3sec and top 200mph this could yet be yet another fine scalp it could take.:)

Will be alot more money than the nsx though.....

[AR]

Then it will be 488GTO or 488CS vs NSX HR or NSX R3!

Exciting times ahead, hope that Honda steps up to the plate.

[Pride]

If there's any car company in the world that can take on the biggest challengers from the biggest players then I'm sure Honda/Acura can.;)

Well lets hope the airbags are not Takata!

Now that's another challenge in itself don't you think???:)

Very true, but back to dynamics, no doubt the new NSX will be fast and handle well, but I am still not 100% sold on the KERS or whatever they call it.

Got to admit that I too have my reservations but if there's one technology that could make all the difference it's that one.

Only one million pound HyperCars have tried it, so this could well be the ace up its sleeve.

So let's hope that all the hype and quotes that have been banded about lately are proven when tested in June otherwise it will be true egg on face time and the slogan "power of dreams" should then read "power of dreaming"

Just imagine, Top Gear will have a field day for months on end.:)

Oh dear Top Gear - Clarkson contradicts himself in the space of 5 minutes "Looking forward to driving the new Honda NSX" - then when asked about the Ford Gt40 "not for me I am done with mid-engined cars" - hmm :-S
