This is the Acura everyone has been waiting to see: the NSX concept. Like the original NSX, this one is powered by a mid-mounted V6, augmented by an electric motor (that's right, it's a hybrid) and driving a dual-clutch transmission. Two more electric motors power each of the front wheels, and can apply positive or negative torque to improve handling. The NSX should come to market in about three years, and Honda says it will be built in the United States.
