Nov 22, 2013: The big news is that Acura will be going with a longitudinally-mounted V-6 as opposed to the transverse layout originally planned and that which featured in the first-generation NSX. Acura says the switch was only made recently, with the reason being it would aid handling and packaging. Despite the change, Acura is confident the promised 2015 launch for the new NSX will go ahead as scheduled.
Other changes will include the addition of a twin-turbocharging system and a possible increase in displacement to around 3.7 liters. Direct fuel injection will remain, and the engine will be unique to the new NSX.
A direct-injected and twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter V-6 aided by a trio of electric motors could see the new NSX?s horsepower figures reach supercar territory. With Nissan?s GT-R now packing 600 horsepower in NISMO trim, a similar output for the new NSX is entirely possible.
