Spy photos: 2009 Acura NSX test mule spotted in Germany
It’s been awhile since we heard anything about the 2009 Acura NSX. It was over a year ago when Honda officials confirmed a V10 engine for the next-generation NSX, but since then all we’ve heard or seen out of Japan was the Sports Car Concept shown in Detroit. These latest spy photos taken just outside the Nurburgring suggest work is still very much in progress. This chopped up S2000 features four tailpipes in back and a heavy-duty double wishbone suspension. There’s also a makeshift hardtop and some big time wheels and tires. Stay tuned for more shots when this prototype hits the ‘Ring.
Acura NSX is likely to touch the roads by 2009. The 2009 Acura NSX is most likely to target Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo. According to rumors Honda is already testing prototypes for the car in Japan. Front-engine layout, and mid-engine like one in the earlier model is worked on. The car is also likely to have V10 engine with 500 horsepower.
Super Handing All-Wheel Drive is most likely to be used in 2009 Acura NSX is is right now in Acura RL. It will send power to front wheels whenever required. Otherwise front engine layout would run most of the power to the rear wheels.
