IMHO, it looks too retro / concept car-ish :(

It was designed 16 years ago, does have the 200sx S15 lines a bit however.

And some of its technology did pass on to the JDM s14.

Early 80's version is very s13 front chop.

Cos Honda built the NSX?

What engine did it use anyway? And er what was it called?

One of the prototypes used a VG30 DETT with 330BHP
I think that was the predecessor to the VG30 DETT used in the Z32 300ZX

It was called the MID 4 and in essence was a technolgy demo and research vechicle (very much a tester for the z evolution)

Had hicas and active 4wd (An evolution used in the skyline).
