In the wake of the announcement that the successful Honda NSX model will return to production and following the anticipation about its hybrid engine, a new car has appeared that seems to foresee its exterior design. This car is an Acura-badged roadster featured in the ‘Avengers’ movie, and has been photographed on the set nearby Central Park, New York, with Robert Downey jr. behind the wheel.
According to AutoExpress, the new NSX will be powered by a brand new V6 and two electric engines, and its architecture should be similar to the Dual Mode 4WD concept displayed at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, a prototype that actually had a center mounted 3.5 litres V6 with two electric engines on the front wheels, delivering 400 hp.
The new NSX will probably adopt a VTEC engine with capacity between 3.5 and 3.7 liters and Li-ion batteries that can be recharged like hybrid plug-in cars. The NSX will be a full hybrid car, therefore it will be able to run a few miles powered by electric energy only.
