    Coming To Detroit: Honda NSX Successor Concept

    If there is one thing that has bemoaned enthusiasts for the past few years, it's the lack of the NSX from the Acura/Honda lineup. Orginally, Honda had originally planned out the NSX replacement, but was canned due to the global economic crisis.

    But within the past year, Honda has hinted at a return of the NSX, with their CEO Takanobu Ito adding fuel to it.

    If a report from Autocar is to believed, Honda will be showing a concept version of what could be the successor to the NSX at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The car, known as the Super Sports Concept will follow the Small Sports EV Concept that will be shown at the Tokyo Motor Show.

    Not much is known about the Super Sports Concept, but expect either a hybrid or electric powertrain.

    Instead of wasting resources bringing back a low volume, high-priced supercar, Acura should bring out a desirable, reachable car, because the current lineup isn't cutting it.

    consider that the latter US-market NSX was watered down from not only its then-current Japanese version, but its previous iteration (the NA1 is largely considered better than the NA2 as far as the Acura variants go). Also consider that Acura's lineup--rather all of Honda's lineups--are utterly boring. They desperately need a car like this to put some soul back into their lineup.

    I always liked the NSX. Just don't screw this up, Honda (they probably will).

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      We'll see if Toyota is first, Mercedes already has solid state on the road in prototype form.  I would imagine they want that ready for the next generation S-class EV that replaces the EQS.  And usually the S-class gets the technology first.  E-class EV is due out in 2027, I don't know if they would be ready that fast, and even if so, is this expensive tech that starts on S-class and 10 years later ends up on a regular car. From their media release: Safer, lighter, more efficient and 25 percent longer range in the first vehicle: solid-state cell chemistry delivers higher energy density and weight reduction, with improved driving efficiency and cell safety  Mercedes-Benz, together with Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains (HPP) based in Brixworth UK, developed and patented new innovative solid-state battery pack  Mercedes-Benz integrated solid-state battery, with cells from U.S.-based solid-state battery leader Factorial Energy, into slightly modified EQS Sedan  Road tests with new solid-state battery in "621 mile" EQS development car started in February 2025

      I suspect with Hyundai having their solid-state battery plant started for testing of the battery packs that Toyota is going to have to really spend money to catch up to the Koreans.
