< NSX successor >
We are now focused on the development of a new model to succeed the NSX for a new era. We would like to debut a new super sports car equipped with a V10 engine in 3 to 4 years. Please look forward to seeing the NSX successor.

is this a new trend?
i heard that the new/next supra will also be V10

A v8 is too common market-wise, a V12 too up-market, so more and more slot in a v10. The F1 thing helps also a lot

They're giving Niko a chance to have the payment ready

Sounds like they're into something really big, can't wait to see it... Where's my DeLorean when I need it?

@ Niko.

This is good news. Finally, maybe this car will actually be worth that hefty price.

If you wanna be in the current exotic car wars, a V6 just doesn't cut it any more

I can just hear Niko talking to his fiancé: "Honey, you know that house we were gonna buy? Slight change of plans."

Ohhh! You betcha!! hehehe

number of cylinders dont mean jack shit people

all it affects is balance and packaging, a 6 litre v12 will produce no more power then a 6 litre v6, but the v6 wont be as balanced or smooth

really no offense or anything but arent you forgetting, umm, what was it? oh yeah, THE WHOLE PORSCHE 911 RANGE?

[KnifeEdge_2K1]

i dont know how they're gonna get a v10 to be mounted transversely tho as they do the v6 in the current nsx

either they mount longitudaly (which would make the whole car alot longer) or its a transverse engine longitudal tranny like in the f355

the current nsx's setup i think is perfect, maybe supercharge or get a bigger displacement v6 (60 degrees for optimum ballance)
