The first Acura NSX has been missing from the auto scene for more than a decade, but now the sexy and stylish supercar is reportedly making a comeback long-awaited by many car enthusiasts.
That long wait is finally over as the upcoming car's specs have been revealed and Acura is set to launch a successor that's completely different from the original version.
According to a report from CNBC, the Acura NSX will carry a hybrid V-6 engine that can deliver 573 horsepower.
Most of the horsepower will be delivered by the 3.5-liter gas engine, while the rest of the power — 73hp — will originate from the batteries.
