2016 Acura NSX officially revealed!

The legendary Honda NSX has officially been revived at the 2015 Detroit motor show in its production form. Showcased as a concept at several global motor shows including the 2014 Delhi auto expo, the car has been badged as the Acura NSX.

Debuting 25 years after the original NSX, the new car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 75-degree DOHC V6 engine with a 9-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) merged with a three-electric motor sport hybrid system. Two of the electric motors sit up front, with the third one mounted between the engine and gearbox at the back. Unfortunately, complete specifications are yet to be revealed.

The NSX rides on 245/35Z R19 front and 295/30Z R20 rear tyres, which are brought to a stop by 6-piston front and 4-piston rear monoblock calipers acting on carbon-ceramic brakes. Length x width x height x wheelbase dimensions come in at 4470 mm x 1940 mm x 1215 mm x 2630 mm. Acura says the production vehicle gets a 3 inch increase in length and 1 inch increase in width with a slightly more "cab-forward package", in comparison to the NSX Concept shown in 2012.

The NSX body uses a space frame design. The internal frame is constructed of aluminum and "ultra-high" strength steel among other materials. The floor is made of carbon fibre, while the body panels are composed of an aluminum and sheet molding composite (SMC) combination.

On the inside, the NSX's instrument cluster features a TFT display that responds to changes in the driver-selectable Integrated Dynamics System. The dial-operated system features Quiet, Sport, Sport+ and Track modes. Acura says the system adjusts the engine, motor, transmission and chassis response, as well as the engine sound level. The NSX also features a "launch" function to achieve a "zero delay" launch off the mark.

The NSX will be manufactured at the brand's plant in Marysville, Ohio, with a mix of domestically and globally sourced components. The company will begin accepting orders in a few months time, with customer deliveries expected later in the year.
