Honda HSV-010 - Click above for high-res image gallery
Heads up, Hondaphiles - it looks like the
NSX has been dug out of storage and plopped back on the table as a candidate for production. Company president Takashi Ito has announced that he's jump-starting development on the supercar. As you may recall, the beast was unceremoniously put to bed after the global economy gutted itself back in 2008. At the time, the project sailed under the
HSV-010 moniker, and
Honda even went so far as to campaign a version of the machine in the Japanese Super GT series.
Since then, the supercar segment has all but exploded with new metal.
Mercedes-Benz jumped into the action with its
SLS AMG,
Lexus came to the party with the high-tech
LFA and old-timers like the
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and
Nissan GT-R have been enjoying their own slice of supercar territory. We're all for the notion of a resurrected Honda fighter, but we're still going to treat this one with a healthy dose of skepticism.
We've been burnt before.
