Who cares about how it looks?

That is just a test vehicle. They aren't testing the LOOK of the vehicle, they are testing what's beneath all that. THAT'S NOT A PRODUCTION VEHICLE!

The same reason the Z looked like that when they first developed it, to acquire interest and speculation in their product - just like what we're doing now.

the Z never came stock with 20" wheels, but it was marketed that it would. it never came stock with a super futuristic interior, but it was also marketed. it never came with LED signals in the mirrors, but it was marketed. it never came with brembos (stock), nor did it originally come with full LED taillamps.. but, it was of course.. advertised that way. the taillamps you see in the above proto never worked (not that i know of), nor did the headlamps.. but either way, its fun stuff that gets peoples attention. and gets people like me to take above photos of.

I never said I didn't like the futuristic designs, it would only be a plus if the finished product could look similar to that, I was just curious.

Thanks for clearing it up for me everyone.

SimpleS14

That Z concept was damn close to the production model.

Honda is notorious for having concept cars look VERY close to the production model (i.e. '08 Accord). I'm guessing we are going to see one more concept, but the official car debuts.

No shit it looks like an S2k, given that it's an S2k chassis thats been hacked up. You still missed the point that it doesn't matter what it looks like.

Someone should hack up your body and use it as a test mule for an improved brain. Then you'd have an excuse for being so retarded.

Matej

Noo, he was just joking that the test mule looks like an S2K limo since it's a cut up S2K chassis made longer, I'm pretty sure Adrian knows what a test mule is, haha.

ONYX S-13

LIAR !

They got two

The New NSX better be packing some major heat under the hood, trunk, whatever. Nowadays the BMW 335ci kicks most old school 90's japanese muscle to the curb stock for stock. It will probably have the performance of the current 911 P-Car with a body that isn't THAT much different then the last gen NSX.

The supercar and upscal sports car market is getting pretty goddamn crowded right now. It will be interesting to see what comes out of Honda's pooper.

i'd put a FD3S in new condition against nearly any other car under 45k.

kouki_s14

I love FDs, ahhh to dream. if only overheating and gas mileage wasnt so horrible.

OptionZero

Kinda sad that a car that overheads and gets horrible gas mileage is a better sports car than anything you can buy new for the same green. Light weight, turbo, RWD? What a concept. Its like from the future or somethin gnarly.

wootwoot

It is from the future, and thats part of the problem!! I always forget about those since they are so out of my price range. Super cars for middle class people. They are sooo fun and easy drive it makes me angry. Maybe someday, they are getting ruined awfully quickly though

If you are getting a real sports car, you dont care about gas mileage.

and mine never overheated. Just do some safe mods first.

when you get a bigger turbo for increased performance the gas mileage on FD's can be bad. 8-10 mpg. That's supercar level mileage and performance but the car is old and the engine loves to explode itself.

AN LS1 engine in an FD is like the best of both worlds.

when will the sk2 comments end?

OptionZero

world peace and cure for cancer got next

try down the list

HyperTek

you can see that its still MR.. pretty sure that possibly the suspension and drivertrain is what they are testing.. they probably made the test car look like an S2k so as to not give way too many details on the car they where testing itself..

but if that being the case.. the aerodynamics could be completely different so the results of testing wouldnt be soo good
or maybe it does infact share alot of the s2k chassis/suspension but in a MR lay out..

The exhaust note is interesting....I wonder what this test mule was testing. I'm thinking suspension components and powertrain, the car looked very flat on the track. Anyone else notice the 911 Turbo? Looks like that might be its competitor...which also means its going to compete with the GTR (of course its a given).

Actually the numbers for the PT Cruiser and Beetle have dropped to next to nothing. The Mustang is actually a good bang for the buck and has always sold well. That's the only exception. The Camaro will probably be an exception too.
