DOTS-O-Rama Sunday, San Francisco Edition: 1992 Acura NSX

Project Car Hell, Hi Rollaz Edition: Acura NSX or Ferrari 328?
Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! We had another too-close-to-call one yesterday, with the Toyota 4x4 Van and the Dodge Caravan Turbo locked in a 176-171 near-tie, according to the Choose Your Eternity poll. Today we're going to escape from Suburban Minivan Land and roll down the mean streets of the Early Gangsta Rap Era, with the kind of rides that Ice-T wannabes might have selected for high-speed runs to Vegas back in the day. And, yes, it's another upstart challenging a mighty PCH Superpower: Japan versus Italy!

Spoon Honda NSX-R GT
Spoon Honda NSX-R GT, First Drive
They say you should never meet your heroes. For the most part that’s true, I’ve never been more disappointed than after my first drive in a DeLorean DMC-12, childhood dreams of time travel completely squashed. When I was eleven I picked out the colors for a friend’s dad’s new NSX — red with a black top — and even though I’ve never driven one, it’s been on top of my supercar wish list ever since. So when the guys from 0-60 Magazine called and said they wanted to fly me out to Infineon to drive not just any NSX, but the Spoon Honda NSX-R GT, a tuned version of the rarest NSX ever made, I didn’t hesitate.

Acura Boasts New NSX Will Kick GT-R's Launch-Controlled Ass
The new Acura NSX has been in development for some time now, having been spotted testing on the Nürburgring numerous times, but nobody knew if all that screaming V10 power would be enough to outperform the Nissan GT-R. Now, Honda Executive Vice President Koichi Kondo, has stated that Mothrathe new NSX, though more expensive than Godzilla, will indeed have better performance. Kondo also expects only 1000 units will be sold in the US per year. But doesn't that make it more of a competitor for higher-end machinery? More » -

Acura NSX-R To Come Statestide Causing Fanboys To Swoon For Spoon
Can't wait for the V10-powered 2010 Acura NSX? Good news, friend, as Japanese tuner Spoon is planning to convert left-hand-drive previous-generation Acura NSX's into fire-breathing Acura NSX-Rs and ship them to the US. The bespoke NSX-R will first be going on a crash diet: Body panels get replaced by carbon fiber, thinner rear glass is installed, lightweight wheels are mounted, the spare is replaced with a can of goop, sound deadening gets nixed and so on. Then comes the fun. More »

Edmunds Disrobes New Acura NSX
Edmunds' JDM friends at Auto Holiday Magazine have put together some rendered speculation of the new Acura NSX using the spy photos of the 2010 supercar spotted on the Nürburgring in Art Nouveau leopard print. If these sans-camouflage shots are spot on, the new NSX will look — according to Edmunds — "neat but not gorgeous...following the 2007 Detroit Auto Show concept car's lines closer than first thought." Of course it would. More » -

Acura NSX V10 May Get Cylinder Deactivation, Acura RL May Get V10
According to 7Tune, Honda is concerned about their environmental image with the new 5.5-liter V10 they plan on dropping between the rails of the new 2010 Acura NSX. We're now told Honda plans to employ "Variable Cylinder Management" to deactivate an entire bank of cylinders in the V10 in cruising situations to greatly improve fuel economy. That's all well and good, but what do the prospective power numbers look like on this new engine? And what of other rumors for the big V10? More »

Even More Of The 2010 Acura NSX Rounding The 'Ring
Yes, we've seen the 2010 Acura NSX making a big splash with its camouflaged world debut in Germany. We've also briefly seen the car making its way around the Nürburgring's Nordschleife. Now, however, we're going to sit back and soak in that V10 symphony thanks to a new video providing over three minutes of footage straight from the 'ring. Our assumption is Honda wasn't content with that 7:37 'ring run after hearing all the hubbub about the 2009 Corvette ZR1 making a run in 7:26.4. So they've gone back out — testing and tweaking away. The life of a test engineer must be a heavy burden to bear. Video after the jump. More » -

2010 Acura NSX Screams Around The 'Ring
We love Bridge To Gantry. The Nürburgring-obsessed site now has video of Honda's Godzilla-hunting 2010 Acura NSX replacement ripping up the track, and the scream coming from the tailpipes sounds fantastic. We expect the sonorous mill is a 5.5-liter i-VTEC V10 that should make about 550 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque, but you should check out the video after the jump to judge for yourself. More » -

2010 Acura NSX Reportedly Already Running 7:37 at Nurburgring
Yes the recently seen 2010 Acura NSX is on the Nurburgring apparently attempting to fulfill a mandate from Honda CEO Takeo Fukai to beat the Nissan GT-R's best time of 7:29. According to sources on-site, the new front-engined embodiment of the NSX has been unofficially clocked running a scorching 7m 37s, nipping at the heels of Godzilla. Of course, these numbers mean nothing until we get official times, but if this car is already running quick in prototype form, you have to wonder what it will do when it's ready for the public.

2010 Acura NSX Is Real After All
Even though we thought the Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept from the 2007 Detroit Auto Show was a bit of a stinker when it came to telegraphing the 2010 Acura NSX, it looks like the shape has finally evolved into the real deal. That's right, here is the first look we've gotten at the front-engined successor to the mid-engined supercar. Clad in heavy camo, the scion of the NSX is rumored to be sporting a V10 under that long bonnet, and we wouldn't be surprised to hear of some magical transmission trickery either. We also wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a fast one and released it as a 2009 model, considering how far along this one seems. But all of this has us a bit... confused. More » -

Would Car Nutz Customs Be Illegal In Florida?
With all the hullabaloo over Truck Nutz it's a wonder the folks at Car Nutz Customs haven't taken a cue and changed their name a bit. True, they don't specialize at installing chrome dangly bits on '71 Impalas, but with Florida legislators rebelling against all things Nutz, you'd think they might just consider it. That being said, Car Nutz Customs (CNC in brief) actually does some nice work if you're into the whole big rims and crazy stereo with a clean install kind of thing. Unfortunately they aren't into big pictures of their cars. Enjoy the tiiiiiiny gallery of their work. More »

Commenter Of The Day: I Want Candy Edition
We love candy. Why wouldn't we love candy? It's candy. And while we sometimes feel like kids in the proverbial candy store when we go to auto shows, we're also like kids when we go to actual candy stores (of which there are shockingly few given the prevalence of that particular cliche). That being said, there is a candy store that we're quite find of in Houston called Candylicious. And we know a store for fat people in Houston is a cliche in and of itself, but it is a delicious cliche. In addition to being able to mix and match your own colors of M&M's, the store specializes in tracking down regional confections (grow up eating Squirrel Nut Zippers? They have them). It's like that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry dates the girl with all the toys they grew up with, except that you don't have to drug anyone. And to make it better there's a store next to it called "The Chocolate Bar" that is a bar-like eatery that serves an almost unlimited variety of Chocolate. Bring on the diabetes. More »

Nissan GT-R Stacked Up To (And Over) The NSX
Remember when we started referring to the Nissan GT-R as Godzilla? You probably thought it was just us making a clever commentary on the prospects of the new Nissan as a sales leader (though not everyone agrees that'll happen). Nope. We were talking about how freaking ginormous the thing is. Thanks to the folks over at i-club, we now can represent this idea visually. More »

The Acura NSX Undelayed, Due Out In 2010
American Honda CEO Tetsuo Iwamura confirmed to Wards Auto that, yes, the Acura NSX would return to American shores and likely around 2010. We're going to miss all the Acura NSX Gossip. Will they? Won't they? It was like Ross and Rachel, except with Takeo Fukui and a halo sports car. The car was initially meant to be out around now so it could take on the Nissan GT-R, but that obviously didn't happen. More »
