The german magazine Auto Motor und Sport has big news about Honda’ future projects.
According to the germans, the new Honda NSX will be a GT with front-middle engin and 4 wheel drive. So, no more a mid-engined sports car, but a Gran Turismo, which might have aspirations as a Maserati, or even Aston Martin, fighter. This should not be a problem from an engine standpoint, with its rumoured V10 VTEC engine, which might be followed by a V8. Might be interesting to see a show off between this rumoured NSX and the upcoming Lexus LF-A, which has similar specifications (apart from being RWD).
Another interesting gossip from AMS: the return of the CRX, a “sportcoupè” version of the new Civic. Last but not least, there’s talk of a city-car which, like the Suzuki Swift, might take an inspiration from the Mini-format.
