Mini Acura NSX Could Become a Reality

Personally I love this idea, the car itself is gorgeous! While the stillborn, V-10-powered NSX was being developed, Honda was also working on a related and obscure project referred to internally as the Small NSX. At the time it was just one of several advanced R&D ideas sitting in the design room. Then the financial crisis hit, causing Honda to kill the NSX and shelve all other sports car projects. But Honda has since rebounded, and as we know, the NSX has been reborn as an all-wheel drive hybrid. Now we’re hearing the Small NSX may be back on the drawing board as well.

While the words “Small NSX” may conjure up visions of a successor to the S2000, our inside source tells us this is not the case, and that it will look much like a shrunken version of the big-boy NSX, something along the lines of the car you see in this artist’s impression. Our source also tells us that like the NSX, it will be equipped with a version of Honda’s SH-AWD system.
