Pretty much, I just have a hate on for hybrids because it is used by wankers who pretend to be doing the right thing by the environment.

The technology could be fantastic.

[Adam]

Don't the hybrids rarely make a difference in fuel consumption anyway? Plus they add batteries that need to be disposed!

[B4TT]

They have aids.

[Adam]

Oh.


That would be awkward!

Hybrid as a word doesn't exactly lock them into what you've already seen.

[B4TT]

You think it will be vastly different? unfortunately battery technology is extremely limited at the moment so I would be surprised if it is.

"This Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system will make NSX the ultimate expression of Acura's idea to create synergy between man and machine," said Takanobu Ito, president and CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. "The NSX will make the driver one with the car to enhance dynamic driving abilities without getting in the way."

While most supercars opt for brute force delivered from a large engine, the NSX Concept champions the true racing philosophy of an extremely favorable power-to-weight ratio.
"Like the first NSX, we will again express high performance through engineering efficiency," added Ito, who led the development of Acura's first NSX supercar. "In this new era, even as we focus on the fun to drive spirit of the NSX, I think a supercar must respond positively to environmental responsibilities."

Lol @ marketing hype!

It's in the drive train, Sport Hybrid All Wheel Drive system. Which appears to be all new? (not the concept of drivetrain direct hybrid)

Utilizing a unique 2 Electric Motor Drive Unit with a Bilateral Torque Adjustable Control System, the all-new hybrid all-wheel-drive system can instantly generate negative or positive torque to the front wheels during cornering. Acura anticipates the new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® will deliver handling performance unmatched by previous AWD systems. In addition to the handling benefits of the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® system, a powerful next-generation VTEC® V-6 engine with direct-injection works in concert with a dual clutch transmission with built-in electric motor to create supercar acceleration while offering outstanding efficiency.

Yeah nah

[skillionaire]

So instead of it being a faggy, when you're running around town the engine turns off type piece of faggotree - it still has a proper engine, and the hybrid drivetrain APPEARS to only want to make you faster through corners.


If this REALLY works - can you imagine cornering speed?

[Ren-dog]

I think the hybrid is just another way to say "Our new fancy AWD system". Probably got something flashy in there like the MG V8 thing a few years ago.

That car looks ridiculous, and I'm not sure living in the snowy Alaska dimming your brake lights to invisible is a clever move.

[Ren-dog]

The back of the car looks kinda cool completely black... But stupidly dangerous.

[Adam]

I personally don't think it's a clever move anywhere!

Great stripes though...........................
