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.
