The Japanese automaker has chosen to power the mid engined monster with a twin turbo charged 3.5 liter V-6 engine that has been paired with three electric motors. The turbo charged Honda motor will produce 500 horsepower on its own. This isn’t exactly new or ground breaking. Honda has been hinting at a 500 horsepower NSX since 2012. The newest development however is what dreams are made of in the new automotive world. The NSX’s three electric motors will aid the car not only acceleration but handling as well. One electric motor is mated to the gasoline engine in the rear while the other two are sent to the front of the car to their homes at each wheel. These motors complete the new all wheel drive system on the mid engined Japanese supercar and also complete the hybrid drive system that powers an extra 75 horsepower. There’s the 575 the world has been waiting for.

I used to drive a friend's nsx when the first version came out. It was a kick in the arse to drive and had a great sound.

I used to love Acura and really want to like this car, but a true supercar it isn't. First, it understeers, a big no no in the supercar class. Second, it is too mechanical. There is little feeling of connection with the road, which the first NSX thrived on. The low level of sound contributes to this point. If I have a twin turbo car that spools to 15 psi, I at least want to hear the turbos scream if my V6 wont make any noise. Third, it is way too heavy.

Nice try Acura, but you fail again. They tried to produce an "everyday" supercar but ended up failing in the supercar category. Yes, it will check the boxes of a 3 second 0-60 and 1g on the skidpad, but it takes more than that to make a supercar. Give me a used Turbo S or Z06 for those wanting a raw supercar for nearly half the price.

It's cool, but who in the world would drop $150k on an Acura? Especially if it's badged as a honda?
