Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept

For many years now, car fans have had to put up with rumours and counter-rumours that Honda would replace the much-loved NSX supercar. Honda added fuel to the fire by releasing a concept car a few years ago that looked certain to make it into production, but then it was canned. It looks like the plan has been reignited and Honda will display a concept version at the Detroit Show.

Actually, the car in Detroit (imaginatively named the Advanced Sports Car Concept) will be displayed on the Acura stand. Some of you will already know that Acura is Honda's luxury car brand, which is not yet sold in Europe, though we think that there is a possibility of it being used over here at some stage.

Anyway, details of the concept are limited enough as yet, though we would expect a production version to utilise either a V8 or a V10, with the former the most likely now that the Formula One team have switched to V8s.
