Remember when the NSX and CRX made Honda a name to be reckoned with in the sports car arena? Well it looks like those days may be returning:
Honda President Takanobu Ito arrived at the company’s Motegi test track on Monday in full leathers riding the company’s all-conquering 2011 Moto GP bike. This is clearly the sort of bloke who should be running a car company.
More significantly, Ito was also one of the chassis engineers on the original NSX, and he knows that Honda desperately needs to inject some sparkle into its environmentally worthy but rather pedestrian range. The company’s Tokyo show stand will feature no fewer than three new concept cars, but the big news as far as TG is concerned is a car that isn’t actually here but WILL be at the Detroit show in a month’s time: an all-new NSX.
‘We need a halo car,’ Honda’s design manager Yoshikazu Kigoshi told TopGear, ‘and this is a decision that’s come from Ito-san down. A new S2000 is a difficult car for us to do, because of its front-engined, rear-drive platform. But we are definitely looking at the EV-ster and a new NSX.’
