When it debuted in January at the Detroit auto show, the Acura NSX concept wore techy silver paint, and that didn’t change when the car made an appearance in Geneva wearing Honda logos. At the Beijing show, the car reverted to its luxury-brand badge—and showed up in a racy shade of red.
A sports car usually looks best in red, and we definitely dig the hue on the NSX. Like the concept, the 2015 production model will feature a mid-mounted V-6 bolted to a dual-clutch automatic transmission that integrates an electric motor and drives the rear wheels. Two front-mounted electric motors will spin the front wheels, providing what Acura has dubbed Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. (Read more about how it works here in front-drive applications; the idea is simply applied in reverse for the NSX.) The car is being developed in the States and will be built in Ohio.
