New Honda NSX: Audi R8 Price, Ferrari 458 Performance?

The Honda end of the internet has been abuzz with talk in recent weeks of the brand’s more affordable performer, the upcoming Civic Type R hatch.

You could be forgiven then for forgetting that another hot Honda is on the horizon, the new NSX supercar.

Honda’s reborn coupe, spied testing in recent weeks, is expected to hit showrooms in either late 2015 or early 2016.

But, while that debut is at least a full year away, new details have surfaced online that shed new light on a trio of key factors: position, price and performance.

If these reports are to be believed, the new NSX won’t be cheap, but the company believes its performance will more than justify a prestige-level price tag.

And, after all, the new model will be sold in the US as an Acura - Honda’s Lexus and Infiniti-rivalling premium brand.
