The highly anticipated successor to the Honda NSX has been previewed as an ‘Electric Vision Design Study’ at Monterey Car Week, according to Acura, Honda’s sibling brand. Three images released by Acura showcase a sleek and low-set coupé with a forward-cab design reminiscent of the mid-engined NSX. The car also features a rear light bar similar to that found on the original NSX. The design closely resembles the silhouette that was revealed in May 2022, when Honda announced its plans to develop a high-end, NSX-inspired model as part of its £31 billion electrification strategy.

Autocar reported in May 2023 that Honda is set to unveil a new sports car to celebrate its 75th anniversary. Tom Gardner, Vice President of Honda Europe, stated that the brand’s identity in Europe will revolve around two words: ‘advanced’ and ‘sporty’. He emphasized Honda’s commitment to incorporating technology that adds value to its customers and expressed enthusiasm for performance-focused vehicles such as the Type R. While Gardner didn’t share specific details about the positioning or powertrain of the new model, he hinted at its imminent reveal and hinted that it could have similar significance to the previous sports car released during a Honda anniversary, the S2000.

Dave Marek, Executive Creative Director of Acura, also confirmed Gardner’s statements by expressing excitement about the future of Acura Precision Crafted Performance in the electric vehicle era. He mentioned that the latest expression of an all-electric high-performance model has inspired their design team to push boundaries, and they wanted to share the excitement with Acura fans.
