The Honda NSX was a classic the day it was born. With its perfect proportions and those sleek lines, it is the archetype for the mid-engined sportscar.

By now, everyone has heard that Honda is coming back to Formula 1 as an engine supplier. Turbo V6 engines will be the regulated standard for the premier motorsports starting in 2014, and Honda will reenter the sport in 2015 once they've spent a great deal of time engineering the new motor.

It takes a very special breed of machines to succeed on a racetrack after satisfying the public as a road car.

While talking about her speculated multimillion-dollar net worth, Gabby Douglas professed her desire for a white AcuraNSX roadster, just like the one in The Avengers. What, no R8?
