Spy Shots: 2009/10 Acura NSX

The return of the NSX to Acura's lineup has been an off-and-on again affair, but the latest intel has a new NSX with a 500-horsepower V10 on schedule for an arrival sometime in late 2008 or 2009. While our only indication of what the new NSX may look like up to this point has been the Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept, we do know work is well under way on the car's mechanicals. Thus, we submit these spy photos as Exhibit A, evidence that Acura is currently testing its new NSX. They were taken at the Nurburgring in Germany and show a heavily modified Honda S2000 with quad tailpipes located in the middle of the rear bumper and what appears to be a heavy-duty double wishbone suspension below. The test car also features big wheels and a hardtop of sorts. The S2000 body on this NSX mule suggests that Acura is still far from finalizing a design for the car, but that doesn't appear to have stopped engineers from working on the brand's follow up to the world renowned "everyday supercar" that was the original NSX.

Wow, indeed. I was like that's an s2000...

What if that's not the powerplant of the NSX they're testing? What if it's the next S2000 that's more of a beast than the current one? just a thought.

That's what I was thinking because they did too much of a good job making the body panel looking like the S2000. Who knows?

Or...Maybe they were just really trying to surprise the Market with the actual 2009 NSX unveiling since the concept car reviews were so bad. SO concealment became a super priority.
