Acura NSX Production Model to Make World Debut at 2015 NAIAS

The production version of the highly anticipated Acura NSX supercar, successor to the legendary original NSX, will make its world debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show on January 12, 2015. The model will reflect the production design and specifications of the mid-engine Acura supercar that is slated to launch in 2015. To celebrate the impending debut of NSX, Acura released a 30-second teaser video that gives an early glimpse of the production car and the sound of its three-motor, twin-turbocharged Sport Hybrid power unit. “The next-generation NSX will deliver a ‘new sports experience’ true to its heritage and to the supercar concept that originally gave rise to the name NSX,” said Mike Accavitti, Acura division senior vice president and general manager. “The NSX will serve as the ultimate expression of Acura performance that is fueling a reenergised brand.”

US: Acura unveils NSX at North American International Auto Show
After a 10 year hiatus, the NSX is back. Acura unveiled the finished article at NAIAS yesterday. Whilst the exterior design is similar to the concept first showed off in 2013, the mechanical bits underneath the skin have been given quite the update; gone is the concept’s naturally aspirated, transverse-mounted V6, and in its place, is a longitudinally mounted, turbocharged, dry-sump V6 that produces more than 550 horsepower. The engine is then coupled with 3 electric motors to deliver power to all four wheels. The production car is slightly bigger than the concept car as well, standing it at about an inch wider, 0.6 inches taller and 0.8 inches longer in wheelbase. The car’s overall length has been stretched 3.1 inches as well. Several design elements have been altered as well, to keep the hotter turbocharged V6 cooler. The new NSX will cost around US$150,000, or SGD$200407 before COE, making it cheaper than most of its rivals.

Honda to Introduce World’s First Predictive Safety Cruise Control System
Honda is to introduce the world’s first predictive cruise control system known as Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC), capable of foreseeing and automatically reacting to other vehicles ‘cutting-in’ to the equipped vehicle’s lane.  Based on extensive real-world research of typical European driving styles, Honda’s Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC) uses a camera and radar to sense the position of other vehicles on the road. It then applies an algorithm to predict the likelihood of vehicles in neighbouring lanes cutting-in by evaluating relations between multiple vehicles, enabling the equipped vehicle to react quickly, safely and comfortably.
