Honda Removes the Camouflage // 2010 NSX?



Roughly a week ago, we gave ColdTrackDays readers a glimpse of the future NSX lapping the Nurburgring, clad in zebra stripe camo. The shape was unfamiliar, the layout, like nothing Honda had done before. Front mounted V10 power, 550bhp coming from 5.5 liters, cylinder deactivation technology and a 2+2 aluminum and steel body. A rival to the recently released Nissan GT-R and the soon released Lexus LF-A no doubt, but a far cry from the NSX of yesteryears. Gone is a mid engine layout and six cylinder VTEC power, in is a massive V10 and 570 ft/lbs of torque. The initial shots were confusing (as zebra camo is intended to confuse) but the above pictures, courtesy of Auto Express, give us a more clear cut idea of what Honda is working on. With General Motors setting a time to beat at the ring, all three of the major Japanese automakers have their work cut out for them. We like what we see, even if mid-engined cars spell cool to us here at ColdTrackDays // 06.28.2008
