    So, is this thread about comparing cars that don't exist yet?

    I'm really looking for the next NSX, which is rumored to have a V10. If it keeps its aluminum body or goes even lighter it will be a very serious performer. The Toyota, Nissan and Mazda sports cars are interesting too. Sounds like European and American carmakers will have serious competitors.

    Well, 3 do.

    But the Kabura won't go into production according to an Interview with the designer.

    The LF-A and the GT-R are still be tested, and the word on the next NSX has not been confirmed. All they've said is a V10 is being worked on, and IF the next NSX is go, it could use it.

    It depends what they make it out of - there does seem to be rather a lot of Carbon Fibre dripping off it!

    Yes but that would push the price to incredible figures. I doubt the production car will have much carbofibre in it.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Are there any non-exotics that use CF in the structure? CF panels would def help weight wise.

    Just because it looks bulky doesnt really mean it is.

    I think it's a safe bet that carbon fibre will be used in the construction in some way, but I imagine there will be extensive use of aluminium in contructionas well
