EDIT: It's AWD with a V6 hybrid.

EDIT pics!

I'll hotlink some better quality images

It's an Acura so it'll have a enormous front beak and be ugly.

Go to that site, move cursor over their lineup. Ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly and ugly.

If its a hybrid, I'll kick a barn owl to death for fun.

This is a hybrid. Your argument is invalid. Any further comparison of performance cars with hybrid systems against pathetic econobox hybrids will be followed by a 911 GT3-R picture dump.

That's a flybrid

Front wheels are still driven by electric motors.

it's going live now but I'm not sure if I'm watching Acura's press conference or a lounge music radio station.

Oh please let this be the production model! I think it looks absolutely fantastic.

Edit: Crap...he just said it's a concept.

AWD... Hybrid.... :\

 

[Mills]

It looks great, basically a production coupe version of the Iron Man car.

Styling is much, much better than I expected. Supposed to be an AWD V6 Hybrid, hm...

Here are some screenshots for those who missed it:

Oh, and it will be built in Ohio. Better stock up on exotic ODM parts, stat.

And the original just went up in price....

So Honda create an NSX concept, then can plans for a production car based on it because of utterly luke-warm public reaction to it due to it being underwhelming and AWD.
Years later they triumphantly respond with an underwhelming AWD second concept.

Take a note of every bit of that concept you think is exciting and interesting, then cross-reference with the list of things to get dropped between a concept and a production car. Check check and check.

Ron Dennis just called. He wants his fax machine back. EDIT: Apart from the front end which belongs to Mazda.

Honda, I am disappoint.

Thanks man, updated first post.

It's got a very Audi R8 proportion to it. I approve of the looks, but I'm not convinced AWD is the best way to go. I haven't exactly heard praise for Acura AWD systems but then again, I don't hear much of anything about them at all.

I don't care if its AWD as long as its a proper rear-biased AWD system like any of the current mid or rear engined AWD exotics. Having that extra little traction sent to the front wheels is not a bad thing.
