Honda Motor Co. says its new Acura NSX supercar will retail between $157,800 and $207,500—including delivery charges and depending upon options—when it goes on sale in the U.S. next spring.
The often-delayed car had been expected to debut a few months ago. But the company said in August it would push back the launch to address undisclosed engine adjustments.
Authorized Acura dealers will begin taking orders for the all-wheel-drive car on Feb. 25. Honda will build the NSX in Ohio and expects to sell about 800 units per year in the U.S.
The NSX’s hybrid powertrain will feature a 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6 engine that makes 500 hp, plus three electric motors that contribute another 73 hp.
The piston engine’s power will be routed to the rear wheels through a 9-speed automatic dual-clutch gearbox. Two electric motors will power the front wheels. Honda says a third motor between the engine and transmission will assist acceleration and make gear shifts smoother. The car is expected to deliver zero-to-60 mph acceleration times of less than 3 seconds.

NACTOY Finalists Announced
The finalists for the North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year (NACTOY) awards were announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, and because the choices are essentially based on choices predicated on design and engineering (after all, as the jurors drive the vehicles, it isn’t an issue of sales or marketing), the selections of the three finalists in each category can be considered among the best in class when it comes to those two functions.
