"Neck Twisting" Lamborghini Diablo Replica Based on an Acura NSX Looking for a New Home


For most, the NSX is the Holy Grail of Honda and Acura automobiles, for some, though, it's just a more reliable alternative to the Pontiac Fiero as a donor car.

Well, at least this NSX ended up forming the base for a Lamborghini Diablo clone that was discovered for sale on Craigslist in Suwanee, Georgia, by CarScoop reader Trey W. who did his homework and informed us that it may very well be the same replica we found back in 2010 on eBay.

This 1991 Acura NSX has Only 4,882 Miles on the Odo and it's up for Grabs


While many of us might not understand why anyone would buy a real sports car like the Acura NSX (sold as a Honda outside of North America) and keep it parked in a warehouse for most of its life, we guess that you will appreciate the fact that someone did and you now have the opportunity to acquire it.

The eBay find is a one-owner, unmolested, 1991 NSX with only 4,882 miles (7,855 kilometers) on the odometer and no accidents. That's pretty rare in our book, at least in North America.

Good One Bro! Acura NSX Aquaplanes Off the Road Narrowly Missing Bridge


The driver of a modded Acura NSX, sold as a Honda in markets outside of North America, was filmed by a passenger of a Nissan 240SX (we don't know if he was one of his buddies or not) following on from behind when he lost control of the Japanese sports car on a freeway north of the city of San Diego in California.

Given the heavy rain and the fact that the NSX doesn't look like it was going fast, we'll have to assume that the wet conditions forced the mid-engine coupe to aquaplane and slide off the road.

New Acura App Lets You Put Some Color to NSX Pre-Production Concept


We’ve seen it in the flesh at motor shows; we've seen it in virtual form on GT5; we've seen it with Honda badges; we've seen it in a Super Bowl commercial; we've seen it in a red shade, and we've even seen it as a roadster in a Hollywood blockbuster.

Yes, we're talking about the Acura NSX pre-production concept and if you haven't figured it out already, we're going to be "seeing" a lot more of the Japanese brand's hybrid sports car since it won't be ready for sale before 2014.

Oh, the horror…Can you imagine being the owner of an Acura (Honda for the rest of the world) NSX sports car and waking up to see your beloved ride sandwiched between a Toyota Sienna and a Subaru Impreza Outback Sport?

All this and more went down yesterday morning in the town of Maynard in Massachusetts with Reddit forum member Cerberus73 capturing pictures of the bizarre scene from his office located across the road.

This is NOT the Production Version of the 2015 Acura NSX, this is the Concept…


Earlier today, a set of monochromatic renderings of the Acura / Honda NSX were posted on China's Sohu website and were quickly picked up by other sites such as Carnewschina and Jalopnik, with all claiming more or less that these pictures are of the 2015 production model and that they were leaked "from China’s patent office".

Well, we can assure you that this is not the case - period. To begin with, the pictures were originally released on the European patent agency on February 22, 2012, a little over a month after the concept was displayed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show.

Honda Previews Russian, and Possibly European Market 2013 Accord Sedan, Confirms Acura Launch


These two sketches, allegedly previewing the Russian market 2013 Accord sedan, were said to be released by Honda's local division on the sidelines of the ongoing Moscow International Motor Salon 2012.

There are a couple of things about these renderings that immediately caught our attention, the first being the car shown here is essentially identical to the North American 2013 Honda Accord sedan revealed in the beginning of August and the second that it is wearing German license plates.

Motor Trend Pits Lexus LFA Against Acura / Honda NSX in Japanese Supercar Duel


The most famous and for many years, the only Japanese supercar, the Honda NSX that was sold under the Acura moniker in North America, is a very important vehicle not only for its maker, but for the entire industry as well.

The incredible NSX redefined the supercar genre proving that fast and sexy doesn't have to mean making huge sacrifices in ergonomics, quality or everyday drivability.
