probably pretty close. it looks like this jap rocket will be the lightest of all the japs. and i wouldn't be surprised if it skimps on some of the hardcore luxuries of the LFA to come in at an awesome price point- NSX gen 2, indeed. it'll probably be a step above the GTR in luxury and execution and a step above the spec V in performance.
germany won't have anything on it until audi makes a clubsport R8 version.

The R8 V10 Clubsport need to be at leased as light as the Gallardo Superleggera to compete with this.
Btw, this car will be 4wd with front engine right, but what kind of 4wd.
Will it something like Nissan use for the GT-R. ?

I'm guessing that this will be running a dct trans-axle gearbox that is very similar to the GTR, to me the changes are ultra quick with perfect blipped downshifts.
Another thing, did anyone else notice the lack of tyre noise in the corners compared it all the other cars present around it.

prob an updated torque vector awd a la RL. right on par with the GTRs.
tire noise prob drowned out by the engine which sounds like it revs superfreely.
if audi put quattro 5 on the R8 it would be startospheric i'd guess...

Is it me or do I see a grown up S2000 in there. Acura had some very nice shapes which added to its super reliable performance character, but then something started to go wrong as with BMW's and the shapes started to become more common, and hardly attractive.
The initial pholosophy behind the NSX was to have it resemble Ferrari with bullet proof quality.
While Ferrari is coming up with great shapes such as the new California, Acura should take note of the new Lexus LS-F, LP-560, California and try to come up with something more appealing.
