2010 Acura NSX one Fast Cool Car

2010 Acura NSX, it looks like the shape has finally evolved into the real deal.

2010 Acura NSX, it looks like the shape has finally evolved into the real deal. Here is the first look we've gotten at the front-engine successor to the mid-engine supercar. The NSX is rumored to have a V10 under that long hood, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some new transmission to handle all the power too. They may even be able to put this one out there as a 2009 model, seeming how far along all is with this model.

It appears that Acura has finally settled on a direction for the next-generation NSX, as evidenced by this prototype that has popped up on the public roads surrounding the Nürburgring. Rumors of design dissent have plagued the new NSX program since Acura's Advanced Sports Car Concept debuted to a lukewarm reception at Detroit's North American International Auto Show in January 2007. The resulting uncertainty reportedly delayed the introduction of the production NSX at last fall's Tokyo Motor Show, while Acura decided on a true design direction for the supercar. Now that things have apparently sorted themselves out, we can break down the design decisions that Acura has made.

It appears that the general layout of Acura's Advanced Sports Car Concept has survived, but changes have been made to increase the level of aggression for the NSX. The prototype's nose shows marked changes over the concept, with two large, wide-set intakes flanking an even larger central grille. The result is a less pretty, but more aggressive face. The concept's straight slit-like headlights have been ditched in favor of more expressive lights that have an angular, notchy quality to their shape.

The general shape of the NSX's profile looks very similar to the concept, although a taller, more production-feasible greenhouse appears to be in play on the test vehicle. The side sculpting has also been reworked with the prototype's convex rocker panels jutting outward, instead of the concept's lower rockers, which tucked gracefully under the car. Once again, the end result is a more muscled look for the production model.

The production NSX retains the concept's dual stacked exhaust set-up, but rest of the rear bumper is completely different, with reconfigured air ducts now stretching all the way across the back. The aesthetic result is a more squat, athletic stance for the production NSX. The prototype's flowing, fastback rear deck also shows significant changes over the concept's more svelte look. The rear hatch now kicks up between the tail-lights, which gives the prototype a more broad- shouldered look to match the likes of the Nissan GT-R. New tail-lights complete the package, although it's hard to tell if they will stretch all the way across the tail, or if they'll be confined to the outer
flanks.
