Acura NSX Concept: Getting Closer to Production!
A beauty amongst beauties, the Acura NSX comes to the Toronto Auto Show to be ogled. The first concept was unveiled at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. Here we see the second, more complete, edition. This time, the vehicle even has a real interior!
Powertrain-wise, this NSX uses a 3.5l V6. The big news however comes from the all-wheel drive system. As described by Acura; “Acura Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is an all-new, three-motor high-performance hybrid system that combines torque vectoring all-wheel drive with advanced hybrid efficiency through the use of three electric motors – one motor integrated with the V-6 engine and two motors driving the front wheels – along with an all-new dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The system enables instant delivery of negative or positive torque to the front wheels during cornering to achieve a new level of driving performance unparalleled by current AWD systems.the front wheels during cornering to achieve a new level of driving performance unparalleled by current AWD systems.” We could not say it any better!
One remains stunned at how Acura designers can show such an uninspired RLX at the same time as a vehicle as exciting as the NSX...
