Said to be given the green light as a mid engined coupe.

It was a stunning car when it was first introduced and is even sexier today.  The hybrid model looks very interesting.  A definite boy-racer for older guys and girls

Some developments:

With development underway, engineers are leaning toward a longitudinally mounted 2.0-liter turbocharged VTEC four-cylinder taken from the Civic Type R but tuned to generate an even beefier 330 horsepower. Additionally, the baby NSX will employ a version of the SH-AWD (Super Handling AWD) system from the upcoming Acura “sports hybrid,” with two electric motors driving the front wheels, while the engine and a third electric motor power the rear wheels. Total system output is expected to be 400 horsepower or better.
