Default Spy photo of the next NSX?



Judge for yourselves. I got it off of a Japanese message board. They seem to think it is.







Similarities between the current NSX, NSX-R, and DualNote concept car are obvious. Especially the front hood spoiler, side mirrors, roofline, and headlights.

You think it's ugly? I think it looks fantastic. Kind of Ferrari-esque aft of the door. The front is VERY sleek. That's not to say the present NSX is not great...... I like them both. I think the redesign is a very strong move forward.

I think it looks fantastic, I was just saying that sarcastically because I figured that's what most of ya'll would say. The only thing I don't like is the hood. Just something about it. But the overall design just SCREAMS 'supercar'. When I first saw it I thought to myself 'the NSX must be moving up to the 360 Modena'...but now I'm thinking it'll just have jaw dropping styling for its current price.

It looks pretty damn good, except for the hood. There's just something odd about the front. Kinda looks like a Prius front. I dunno. Hopefully they'll change it a little.

:fawk:


The way the rear end tapers off, it looks very Saleen S7-ish and Ferrari Enzo-ish. I'm shocked at how bold the design is. Obviously Honda hasn't been sitting on its ass all this time with the NSX.

that photo is doctored

what's that reflection on the side of the car?

the driving lights are fake unless they are designed to aim to the upper left to blind pedestrians

the headlights aren't the same size or shape as each other

does mr car need a air scoop in the hood by the headlights

sorry but i think this is an altered ferrari and not well done

the more I look at all of those pictures you posted, the more I'm POSITIVE it's the new NSX. the picture you posted effectively blends all three, the DualNote, the NSX-R, and the original NSX.

Check out the side air ducts right below the c-pillar. They are on the DualNote also....

I think this is it guys.......and if it is, I WILL get one of these eventually. That car is the most beautiful supercar I've ever seen.



one thing that has me puzzled, the car in the photo is LHD.....is there a reason that they would be testing a LHD version instead of a RHD?

While it may be photoshopped, it does look like a good evoloution of the NSX. That design screams supercar. And I've seen that car, those headlights at least, before.......

That car has massive potential.
