The production version of the highly anticipated Acura NSX
supercar, successor to the legendary original NSX, will make its
world debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show on
January 12, 2015. The model will reflect the production design and
specifications of the mid-engine Acura supercar that is slated to
launch in 2015. To celebrate the impending debut of NSX, Acura
released a 30-second teaser video that gives an early glimpse of
the production car and the sound of its three-motor,
twin-turbocharged Sport Hybrid power unit. View the video on
Acura's YouTube channel at youtube.com/Acura.
"The next-generation NSX will deliver a 'new sports experience'
true to its heritage and to the supercar concept that originally
gave rise to the name NSX," said Mike Accavitti, Acura division
senior vice president and general manager. "The NSX will serve as
the ultimate expression of Acura performance that is fueling a
reenergized brand."
An Acura NSX concept model made its debut at the 2012 North
American International Auto Show, where Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
President & CEO Takanobu Ito announced that development of a
next-generation NSX would launch in three years, led by an American
R&D team and produced at a state-of-the-art new plant in
Ohio.
"After three years of intensive development work we are excited to
reveal this next-generation supercar-the Acura NSX-to the world,"
said Ted Klaus, chief engineer and global project leader over NSX
development. "We've developed a human-centered supercar that
responds to the will of the driver and that builds upon the NSX
heritage."
The next milestone in the launch of the NSX will be the reveal of
the production version at the Acura press conference at the North
American International Auto Show on January 12 at 11:50 a.m. ET.

The NSX is being developed by a global team of engineers led by the

design led by the Acura Design Studio in Torrance, CA. The Acura
NSX will be produced exclusively at the new Performance
Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio, using domestic and
