We shall see!

Shouldn't the NSX be faster than the Civic though?

I was thinking the same thing too. Per this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_NSX, the NSX had either 270hp/210tq or 290hp/224tq. I thought it had a lot more than that coming from the 3.0L-3.2L V6 engine that powered the 3010lb/1370kg to 3153lb/1430kg hand-build masterpiece.


I guess we'll have to wait for the 2016 specifications to come out to do a power/weight ratio comparison.

Faster than the old NSX, yes.
Them making that statement was easy given the difference in time between the two, anything less would have been ridiculous given what performance of other vehicles is like.

Great video, thanks for posting it.

I guess times and expectations have changed since the time of the last NSX. Once Honda/Acura comes out with the new NSX (if that ever happens) I'm sure that one will be faster than the new Civic Type R.

It's only logical that it should be faster...

of course they have, you can't expect a new performance vehicle to not do better than one that came out a decade ago, a lot gets accomplished in the industry over a decade

Of course, of course. I think I just imagine the NSX being more of a performance car than the Civic. Like I said before, if there was a new NSX, it would have to perform better than the Civic Type R.

The new NSX (if it ever comes out) faster than the New CTR...

The NSX is set to come out, orders have already been placed, just not in north america.

Ok, I was just not upto date on it since I'm not interested in the nsx...

Order books are actually sold out for the first round of NSX production. That car has been under development for such a long time that if there is even one problem it will look terrible for Acura. If you have spent all that time on it you better have made a perfect product.

Or it could end up like the 2012 Civic.

Fingers crossed that's the case with it. Being a flagship vehicle for the brand there's more of a reason for them to perfect it's development.

I noticed that when it comes to mainstream vehicles like the Civic they're more prone to have more flaws.

well you're talking about mass production increased by many factors. Say the NSX and the Civic each have equal tolerances or margins of error, well on a vehicle they produce 10,000 vs 100,000 the 100,000 vehicle will have more flaws, yes

Then we get into cost considerations...

Of course, may things to factor in, and with different segments come different level of expectations
