Are we looking at the rumored electric NSX?
A summary of Honda’s briefing for its automotive electrification business has been issued. It was accompanied by a preview for two new electric sports cars due to join the roster. A teaser image was included with the announcement, which you can see at the top of this page.
The vehicles seen in the teaser image are still unknown, although the one on the right appears to be a replacement for the existing Honda NSX (or Acura NSX in the US).
The hybrid mid-engine sports coupe is, as we all know, on its way out, but it has been reported since last year that it may return as an all-electric vehicle, as Acura Vice President and Brand Officer Jon Ikeda himself revealed.
Is this the first glimpse of the Honda NSX EV? We’ll have to wait and see, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it is. Only the other car on the left, which appears to be a grand tourer, remains a mystery. The two electric sports vehicles will be a speciality and a flagship model, respectively, and will be released globally, according to Honda.
