Good stuff AN. That car could not look any more similiar to an NSX from the front...perhaps that is where Honda got some ideas for it? I think the NSX debuted in 1989 in the Tokyo Motor Show.

Possible, or maybe the guy who design this car was fired or quit and went to Honda and design the NSX.

The front end looks more like an SW21 MR2 than an NSX to me. Now let me find some pics...

Yes, it does look like the gen2 MR2...but the damn corner lights and side air intake screams NSX.

I found that on some guy's website, there are enough other pictures of it that I doubt it's photoshopped unless dude has waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on his hands. http://www.my2by2.net/suprahhh3/jdmr2.html
