Only the i8 is a much slower car !

Finally, someone gets it ! NSX is indeed new sportcar eXperimental !

So that’s like saying, the mclaren p1 tickles my spirits more than the Ford GT so the GT is bad ? Doesn’t seem like a valid argument when the price point is miles apart

So basically the new NSX with 1.6 turbo boxer in place of a TT v6 ? I know I am over simplifying things but the basic chassis architecture does seem identical

In think not ! From the reviews that have been going on lately about its speed in the corners, I would think the 2wd lighter version is still gonna be slower.
Think porsche ! The heavier AWD turbo S is faster than the hardcore 2wd gt3rs !

Only, the car is already sold out in the UK for the first year and they have a huge markup in the the US

And the 918 spyder with all the carbon fiber is only 150 pounds lesser at 3650 !

This ! Relative price to competition is what drove the final price of the car

So by the same argument, a home equity can also be taken on the 156k Acura vs the 101k Nissan ? The point is both of them are hardly affordable.
Talking about being heavy, I am not sure if you realize but the Nissan gtr is north of 3850 pounds for even the “lightened NISMO”. NSX is going to be 100 pounds lighter

101k is affordable by normal ? Since when? I think you are the one missing the point here. And again, the torque vectoring on this car is completely different. Think tanks and how they turn to get the gist of it. Also E-motors have very very less lag when it does the torque vectoring.

Came to post just this ! Prices are going through the roof on the NSX. A 94 with 20k miles sold for 80 grand ! You could pick those up for 45-50 about 18 months back

Mazda RX7 FD unmodified that runs without needing a rebuild !

Exactly ! The comments on this are not indicative of the customers for this car. It is a bargain for 190k given the hybrid tech in it.

No they transformed into how much better their Stang is compared to this car !

Firstly, the power is 576 + hybrid assist in a different power range. Secondly, ring doesn’t allow “record lap time” efforts as temporary ban so there is no “didnt have the balls” argument here.
What you are giving is just your opinion even without any proper tests of the final car out yet. Come back when there is a

Since when did a car bench marked to beat the GTR and turbo S become slow ? Just so that you know, even the angle on the V6 is different from the ones sold by honda currently ( race engines aside ). It is a bespoke engine, powertrain for a purpose and there is nothing parts bin about it

Have you looked at the cost of GTR lately ? It starts at 101k and the interior is not even close to being anywhere as nice as the NSX. And neither does it have the fancy E-torque vectoring either. Yes, Its expensive compared to the corvette but this is targeting a different market

Just learnt something new ! Never heard about Doble cars. Seems like an amazing piece of machinery for its time and even today

Fair point but what you gotta remmeber is that bloated luxury from yesterday is going to standard as the years go by. Things like ACC and active safety are not “luxury” anymore. Imagine if the companies decided to stick with hand cranking, no boosted brakes, power assist,AC just because they were bloated luxury

Unfortunately yes, it does and which is why you see a lot of these funny looking 4 meter long sedans :|
