We've known (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/22/acura-nsx-replacement-still-delayed-due-to-design-issues/) for quite some time now that the Acura NSX replacement would feature (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/25/one-powerful-nsx-acura-supercar-to-have-500hp-at-23-5-mpg/) a V10 engine likely at the front of the vehicle and possibly powering all four wheels via a version of the brand's SH-AWD. Now that Nissan's amazing new GT-R has set a new standard for what a Japanese supercar can be, the next NSX had better be something impressive (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/26/spy-video-acura-nsx-mule/) indeed, and rumors are that it will be just that. What we still don't know (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/21/rumor-nsx-development-halted-acura-going-back-to-drawing-board/) is what this car will look like, so we're very interested in what Japanese car-buff-mag Best Car claims (http://car.biglobe.ne.jp/bestcar/brand_new_bc.html) is a rendering of the new NSX. If this is an accurate portrayal, we're glad that Acura stylists found a way to leave off the big metal triangular grill that is plaguing the rest of its lineup, as it just doesn't seem befitting for a sportscar. Although the only rendering offered is an angled shot from the drivers-side front, this coupe still seems a little generic to our eyes, but at least looks better than what we saw (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/07/detroit-auto-show-acura-concept-stops-the-show-but-not-the-imag/) from the Advanced Sports Car Concept (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/07/detroit-auto-show-acura-concept-stops-the-show-but-not-the-imag/) last year in Detroit.
Fans of Acura's first generation NSX, including all of us at Autoblog, are going to have a tough time waiting until 2010 (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/19/honda-confirms-new-nsx-for-2010/) for the next version to bow, but we're sure to have an endless stream of spy shots and a perpetually overactive rumormill to keep us busy till then.
