We reported several months ago that Acura's next-generation NSX will come in 2+2 form with a front-engine layout. Recent spy photos of the car running around the Nürburgring confirmed our suspicions, the camouflaged NSX sporting a sleek Aston Martin-like roofline and a stretched hood. It's immediately clear that the new NSX won't look like the Advanced Sports Car Concept (ASCC) we saw at the 2007 Detroit show. Instead of resembling a Chevrolet Corvette, like the ASCC did, the new car will have a European flair, with a much tamer front end than the Nissan GT-R.

And speaking of the GT-R, that the NSX was at the Nürburgring is no coincidence. Honda engineers and test drivers were there to compare lap times around the 13-mile track to that of the Nissan. The result? An unofficial lap (recorded by our spy photographer) of 7:37, compared to the GT-R's 7:29. An NSX engineer I spoke to said: "We know what lap time we have to beat. Now it's just a matter of making a car that will beat that time." The battle is on.

Under the NSX's hood will be a 4.5-liter or 5.0-liter V-10 that will produce at least 450 naturally aspirated bhp — we hear maybe 500. It will probably feature SH-AWD, but there's still the possibility of rear-wheel drive. The car will make its debut sometime in late 2009 or 2010, with a price just north of the $100,000 mark.

doubt it, remember its a honda they are like us, the best proformence for the right price, and even if it at a 160,000 price tag, I might blow away and Super car, looks like it weights in the low 3000's

Could be interesting. But since the NSX knows what they need to beat they can probably tune it to beat the ZR1 at the ring. But none of them will be able to touch the Vette from 60-120 mph. Or 120-180 for that matter.

The new NSX could have been very special...but then they decided to muck up the front end - it looks terrible, it was on insideline.com with all the camo off.

aren't they kinda doing the test & tune a little bit prematurely? by then the ZR1 can be faster... so can the GTR

The cars OK looking no better or worse than a V-spec GT-R. I dont know how Honda is gonna beat the V-spec with only RWD. Nissan say the best way to put 480+hp onto the road is with AWD. This is gonna be interesting. Crap. Do I need to add the NSX into my "The Big Three" thread?

^^^Made a mistake. The front end is OK, but the rear and side are gorgeous. And the rear 3/4 view........

I thought the NSX was getting the SH-AWD?

I think the ZR1 is the best because Corvette shocked everyone with the Z06 and they can do it again with the ZR1. Out of all of them, I'd get the NSX though. It looks better, has a V10, and probably is cheaper.

Projected price is $100,000-$160,000. Its the most expensive of the 3.
