Not so strange...the NSX was sold as a Honda in Europe and as a Acura in the US as well...

Autobild seems to think it'll have a turbo. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Not bad either way for 300 HP. I just scouted around and found a site that claims the HSC is gonna be roughly 2,800+ pounds. Not bad at all for 300 HP. And by the way, it is the Honda HSC.

Supercar notes: Acura's NSX to stay gas-powered; big year for Lambo

Quashing a rumor
Attention, NSX fans: Despite what many have heard, you won’t have to rush out and stock up on the remaining inventory before the next model bows. Suggestions that Acura’s next-generation supercar will have a hybrid powertrain are unfounded. Hybrid systems—even those tuned for performance—still can’t provide the kind of constant acceleration most sports car drivers crave. And hybrid systems continue to pose a weight problem. Acura’s sports car will remain gas-powered only. Expect something like a 3.5-liter V6 with 300-plus horses, sequential shifting, six-pot Brembos and other performance goodies

Sounds stank
