2012  New Acura NSX Specifications

Acura chose Detroit to unveil its mid-engine hybrid NSX sports car, the 2012 Acura NSX concept car. Honda confirmed that although branded a ‘concept’ at the Detroit motor show, they fully intend to put this 2012 Acura NSX concept model into production, so the hype can begin now for future potential owners. The 2012 Acura NSX is slated to be built in Ohio and features the super hybrid all wheel drive system that Honda has pioneered.

Styling wise, the new Acura NSX combines sporty and exotic design cues into a single package, some may even say that certain elements remind of BMW’s i8 hybrid sports car. If you’re looking for Honda contract hire in the meantime, then now is the time to get in before the 2012 Acura NSX release date comes by.

You would not be alone in thinking the new 2012 Acura NSX concept car looks achingly beautiful and is a bold step by the manufacturer to the potential theme all Honda designs could follow. The 2012 Acura NSX was a crowd pleaser at the motor show with journalists, photographers and the motoring elite all trying to grab a piece of the action, and stealing a lot of focus from other new models at the show.

Honda is describing their new 2012 Acura NSX concept as, “the ultimate expression of synergy between man and machine”. There were earlier plans to base a future NSX on a powerful V10 engine, but those ideas have since been quashed under Honda’s pledge to environmental responsibility.

We can expect to see the same combination of rear wheel power and a mid-mounted V6 engine in the 2012 Acura NSX. Honda are also hinting that the Acura NSX model could even be hybrid too, with twin 27bhp motoring powering each of the front wheels.

The 2012 Acura NSX SH-AWD will control the power output of a direct injected V6 engine driving the rear wheels with two electric motors driving the front wheels. The torque from the electric motors (either negative or positive) is to enhance the 2012 Acura NSX handling. The 2012 Acura NSX will utilize a DCT gearbox in conjunction with the SH-AWD.

There undoubtedly will be changes from the 2012 Acura NSX concept car when the NSX enters production. And the 2012 Acura NSX approach to the hybrid drivetrain is different than BMW’s with the i8. No horsepower numbers or acceleration figures were mentioned, but look for this2012 Acura NSX to be a quick eco-gen sports car.
