When the upcoming Marvel reunion The Avengers hits the silver screen, it promises to be packed with action. Action heros like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America... and a new Acura NSX (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nsx).

Wait, what? That's right: if the latest rumors from Auto Express prove true, that mystery Acura (http://www.autoblog.com/acura) supercar that Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) has been spied driving on the set (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/03/tony-stark-trades-his-audi-for-an-acura-in-the-avengers/) of the upcoming superhero flick will be our first glimpse at the new supercar from Honda (http://www.autoblog.com/honda)'s premium marque.

The neo-NSX will reportedly pack the through-the-road all-wheel-drive hybrid drivetrain from the 2001 Honda Dual Note concept (http://world.honda.com/Tokyo2001/auto/DUALNOTE/), encompassing a 3.5 to 3.7-liter V6 driving the rear wheels and an electric hub motor in each of the front wheels.

Tipped to be priced to take on the Nissan GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/gtr), the new NSX could be the Honda supercar we've been waiting for. For its part, Honda officials continue to deny that Tony Stark's car is representative of a new NSX, so we'll believe it when we see it (and we don't just mean at the movies).Is Tony Stark's new Acura a precursor to next NSX?
