The highly anticipated Acura NSX, in concept form, will fire up its
twin-turbocharged engine and innovative new three-motor, torque
vectoring Sport Hybrid powertrain in Gran Turismo®6 (GT6), which
releases worldwide today. The 'real driving simulator' available
exclusively for the PlayStation®3 system gives sports car enthusiasts
their first opportunity to get behind the wheel of the next generation
Acura NSX Concept.
"Whether in the virtual world of Gran Turismo today, or on real-world
roads and racing circuits less than two years from now, the Acura NSX
will be an incredibly innovative and thrilling ride that delivers
something entirely new to the world of super sports cars," said Mike
Accavitti, senior vice president of Auto Operations at American Honda
Motor, Co., Inc. "The wait is over for NSX fans eager to get behind the
wheel of the next Acura supercar, and they can rest assured the actual
production car will be even more amazing than the in-game concept
version."
Targeting next-generation supercar dynamic capabilities with advanced
environmental performance, the Acura NSX will be powered by a
mid-mounted, direct-injected and twin-turbocharged V-6 engine mated to
Acura's Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) system.
Acura's Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® is an all-new, three-motor
high-performance hybrid system that combines torque vectoring all-wheel
drive with advanced hybrid efficiency through the use of three electric
motors – one motor integrated with the V-6 engine and its all-new
dual-clutch transmission (DCT) driving the rear wheels, and two
high-output electric motors driving the front wheels. The system enables
instant delivery of negative or positive torque during cornering to
achieve a new level of driving performance unparalleled by current AWD
systems. Acura defines this unique customer benefit of it's luxury
performance vehicles as "the synergy between man and machine."
Global development of the NSX is being led by engineers at Honda
R&D Americas, Inc., in Raymond, Ohio. The next-generation Acura
sports car will be produced using domestic and globally sourced parts at
the state-of-the-art Performance Manufacturing Center, now under
construction in Marysville, Ohio. The all-new NSX is expected to go on
sale in 2015.
