Take the B-pillars and fenders from an Opel Speedster:



While you're there, add the gas cap that is normally on the right-hand side of the car and put it on the left:



The mirrors from a Viper SRT-10:



The headlights look like the ones from the '02 NSX were used as a starting point, then extended and the little projectors pasted on. I can't figure out what car they came off of. The rest of the details (hole in the hood, etc) were drawn in.

Your observation on the gas cap and mirrors are really stretching it in details. Its not like the Viper's mirrors were so new and unique. Viper SRT-10 = glorified S2000 design, even to the mirrors.

Confirmed. It's not the next NSX. It's a Protomotors PS-II:

I knew it, I did see that car before, and it wasnt a Honda. Thanks for acutally researching it kazi, im too lazy to. Who cares who makes it yall, its a sweet looking car. Carbon fiber body, and it will come with a range of engines, down from a 2.0L turbo 4, a 3.0L V6 and a 4.6L V8. In V8 trim it will wieght a tad over 1,000kg and hit 60 in an estimated 4.6seconds. Impressive indeed.

Oh well Let's hope the next NSX is faster and looks better than that.....

It looks to me like a modern Testarosa... Those old lines cleaned up and with some Enzo flair.

I like it.
