Is the 2005 NSX almost at our door already?
 
October 14, 2003 -- With Honda's release today of their lineup at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show in Chiba, Japan, included were several images of what is dubbed the Honda HSC. A closer look at these images reveals similarities to the current 04 Acura NSX. Could this be an inclination of what is to come? Stay tuned to Honda-Acura.net to find out!

https://www.honda-acura.net/news/images/hsc1.gif

The next ' NSX ' concept model ' HSC ' = high speed * concept of HONDA which is called a study. Enjoyment and impression of the sport car which form the machine unrestrictedly to all people, is the basic idea.

The dimensions, total length 4250mm× full 1900mm× total height 1140mm those of the super car just, but it is thought if the car also had easy to drive characteristic that it seriously could be considered a car for the masses.

The engine of the HSC is similar V6 horizontal ranging to the current NSX, but the aerodynamic volume displacement is expanded by 3.5 liters, and a horsepower output is also likely to become exaggerated 300 ps. Shifting is done through a dial system which make fast speed change possible, the steering wheel has race car like paddle shift paddles. As for the suspension with the front and back double wishbone, from current model and the dimensions of the rear suspension of the car widen substantially.

Interior design is the modern thing which uses materials, such as carbon and colored aluminum, abundantly, and nostalgic production materials common to this type of model is thin. Although HSC is not necessarily marketed in a as is form as it could be said, that the car is an exhibition of sorts and with the hopes for a next generation NSX has increased.

It says 360 Modena a little too much to me but i'd still drive it. :D I dunno about the back though. Spaceship? :ugh:

ragerized 10-15-2003 05:29 PM

no, more like r34 :thumbup:

white_n_slow 10-15-2003 06:59 PM

I'm assuming they'll ditch those wheels. It does a bit like an F360, but enough differences to make it not seem like a rip-off. I think the ass is HOT, so is the front bumper. I don't get the headlights tho :dunno: All in all, a very sexy car. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Deagle 10-15-2003 07:13 PM

That part with the Honda emblem on the engine made me salivate. I really think I'm messed up in the head. :eh:

4thGenReady2Go 10-16-2003 08:57 PM

I think it's dead sexy, but I hope the V6 can produce, I'm getting tired of hearing these Corvette assholes boast about the hp they're getting in their "$50,000 sports cars". I was hoping Honda would introduce a small-liter 8, but hey, if they can get 240 hp outta the S2k, the sky is the limit with a 6 :)

CityWok 10-17-2003 07:44 AM

Wow, that car is amazing. The back looks like a pagani to me....especially the pipes in the middle of the car. The interior is also sweet. And i want engine pics!!!

system-7 10-17-2003 12:56 PM

sadly the NSX will probly never make as much power as a Vette. However, it will still remain sexier, better build, and overall a superior vehicile regardless of the horsepower. Trust me when a vette owner see the new NSX even though he knows he's got more power, the shine and gleem of the Acura badge is gonna make him feel insecure because he still drives a Chevy.

this is Honda engineers vs. Chevy Engineers

Honda's NSX-cellent supercar
[16 October 2003]

Meet the Honda Sports Concept, which in size, performance, layout and appearance would make a convincing heir to the ageing NSX. The NSX, which has been around since 1989, has been consistently updated but will be over-ripe for replacement by the time the new model hits showrooms in 2006. The mid-engined HSC runs a modified version of the NSX's 3.2-litre V6, developing over 300bhp.

Performance will be pretty wild despite a power output that falls shy of the supercar heavyweights. Thank lightweight carbonfibre and aluminium construction for this. Honda, though, is keen to emphasise the HSC's ease of use (another characteristic it shares with the NSX). A clever iDrive-esque electronic control console and paddle-shift gearchange help to take the strain out of everyday use, as does a digital display that relays images from behind the car to help when reversing.

Things may not be quite as they seem with the HSC though. Rumours from inside the Honda camp suggest the company is not satisfied with the HSC's design, and that it wants something with greater longevity to succeed the NSX. The HSC may look great in the week of its unveiling, will it still be turning heads after 15 years in production? We've been informed of at least two designs currently on the drawing board as potential NSX replacements - and neither of them is the HSC?

I am at a loss for words! :njerk:

stiffcivic 10-18-2003 06:01 PM

The car definately caught my attention. So, so happy to see a new model for the NSX being shown. Heard many rumors about a new one going into production. Hopefully this one or one like it makes it way into production. Its about time honda made a new one. I was so happy just to see a tail light and headlight change on the latest model, and the type-r version blew me away. A total remodel was definately highly anticipated.
If this car's direct competition is the Z-car or Rx8, I think Honda definately has it in the bag. As for the a corvette or even a viper, I think this will definately turn more heads.

I also heard rumor of a possible v-8 version for the NSX. Not sure how I feel about that considering Honda's have always been based on smaller motors (kinda feels sorta domestic to me having a v-8 in a import). But the possibilities for horse power and torque is quite interesting.
That said though does anybody know what the engine output will be on the newly modified v6 for the hsc. I personally hope honda is able to boost its horse power and torque at least to stock level that is higher then the vspec skyline or supra tt. A 350 plus stock NSX I think personally, would leave alot gasping for air. But I doubt Japan road regulations allow for such a thing, but one can dream.

While I can understand, in a way, where you are coming from, I think it's a stretch to suggest that it's "domestic" of an import to have a V-8. Afterall, on one end of the spectrum toyota used it in the SC430 (430, right?), and well, on ther other end Ferrari (keep in mind, it still is an import), for heaven's sake, do I even need to go on? Also, for competition, I believe the NSX, or HSC, is and will be well beyond the 350Z and RX8. Car and driver gave the S2k a better overall rating in a head-to-head-to-head etc. comparision than the 350Z, and as for the RX8. well, it's currently "below" the NSX, so one can only assume the gap between it and the HSC will be even greater. While I did myself mention something about horsepower and corvettes, regardless whether or not the HSC will have more than the Z06, it is (NSX) and will be (HSC) forever a more dynamic and overall superior automobile than anything those bowtie hacks can come up with. If the hp numbers are in the 300s, I think it's safe to put the NSX in the 911TT class (if not higher up on the food chain), after all, the NSX has always been considered something of an exotic.

Those aren't side mirrors. They're cameras. You see get video output of what's behind, on the sides from the inside of the car. I can't find the website I read it from, but believe me. Impractical never describes Honda.

I agree. If it looks like any Ferrari, it can only be the Enzo from the side view. The front and rear are nothing like Ferrari. The front still says, "I'm a Honda!". As for the rear, I hope Honda doesn't change it too much. I know it's a radical design, but Honda's are known to look boring when compared to German cars, and other's. With regards to the super/subsupercar and sport car segments, out of a thousand reviews about most Honda cars will you find a handful of faithful Honda/Acura owners supporting their car companies. Concerning the side cameras, there's a chance that Honda might just use conventional side mirrors instead. I would prefer mirrors. They serve their purpose, and they add to the aesthetics of the car.

Convention show cars are always way more extravagant then the way they are when in production. Besides, I'd like Honda to do anything they can to keep the price around $90K w/o sacrificing the cost of looks and performance.

Check out the News and Rumors forum. We've had the V8 debate a couple times in the past (do a quick search) and the overwhelming concencus is that Honda will never produce a V8 outside of a racing application. The next NSX will undoubtedly be a V6, as will the next Legend.

axhammer 10-22-2003 07:05 PM

Even if the new NSX will make "only" 300hp, i still think honda well make a great drivable car. Imagine, how much more horsepower and torque that will be avaible at lower rpms. Plus, having a V6 instead of a V8 is a handling plus. Honda will mostlikely under-rate the output of the engine.

4thGenReady2Go 10-22-2003 10:39 PM

yeah but how much of a handling plus? If they were to use a v8, it wouldn't be some big a$$ block that some might think of when they think of a v-8, knowing Honda's tendencies, it'd probably be close to 4.0, and not much bigger. Considering that it would be a mid-mount engine, I don't see the handling suffering that much, especially considering all the research that went into the NSX (most of it which is probably being reused, or refined for the HSC)
