"While we were originally led to believe that, the next generation NSX would utilize a naturally aspirated V6 mated to the brand's latest three electric motor Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) system, it turns out the hybrid sports car's main source of power will be a turbocharged unit. new line of VTEC Turbo gasoline units for the automaker's mainstream global cars.
According to Edmunds, Honda showed a mockup of the new NSX powertrain during a media event before the Tokyo Motor Show, which included an unspecified V6 twin-turbo engine mounted in the center and linked to the SH-AWD system that uses a three-motor (one for each front wheel and a third one integrated into the engine acting as a motor generator) hybrid system.
Completing the powertrain setup is a new dual-clutch transmission. Autonews reported that Honda officials said they "have not yet decided how many gears it would have".
Taking into consideration the twin-turbo V6 and the electric motor, the new NSX should come with some serious grunt under the hood. How much, remains a mystery, but as pointed out by Edmunds, a 500 plus hp output sounds completely feasible…
The new NSX will be manufactured at Honda's Ohio plant with sales to begin in 2015."
