Takanobu
Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd, who was part of the
development team of Honda's first NSX supercar, recently explained the
values of the new NSX, "Like the first NSX, we will again express high
performance through engineering efficiency. In this new era, even as we
focus on the fun to drive spirit of the NSX, I think a supercar must
respond positively to environmental responsibilities."

While
most supercars opt for brute force delivered from a large engine, the
Honda NSX Concept represents the true racing philosophy of an extremely
favourable power-to-weight ratio.

Utilizing
a unique 2 Electric Motor Drive Unit with a bilateral torque adjustable
control system, the new hybrid all-wheel-drive system can instantly
generate negative or positive torque to the front wheels during
cornering, which Honda anticipates will deliver handling performance
unmatched by previous AWD systems. In addition to the handling benefits
of the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system, a powerful next-generation VTEC V-6
engine with direct-injection, works in concert with a dual clutch
transmission and a third electric traction motor integrated within the
transmission housing, to create supercar acceleration while offering
outstanding efficiency.
