I've been eyeing up the new NSX but have heard a whole host of potential prices being thrown around from £75k up to £150k. Can anyone shed some truth on the matter?

I think it could potentially be a good investment option depending on how many they end up building, I'm expecting demand to exceed supply at least in the first couple of years.

Is it not going to have a V6 petrol/hybrid turbo engine? So it will be slow, unreliable and a bit of an embarrassment...

See the Honda section, there's one or two potential buyers on here, deposits given, however I believe the first batch is sold out and I'm not sure when orders are being taken for the next.

@MG511 https://youtu.be/NhnrK7cAaJE?t=30s only issue there is that the driver was under orders not to set a timed lap, it was the official pace car.

Supposedly though, a sub 7 minute time around the Ring, and yes I did go there (not literally, unfortunately)

Six month delays......

The Honda NSX has been delayed, with the new release date now set to be in spring 2016. It was originally tabled to go on sale towards the end of 2015, but this has now been bumped back around six months.

I thought Long and hard about it, but as I'd be buying effectively blind having not driven it, two things put me off ;
1) it's LHD only
2) it's being designed and built in American, and ford GT asides, they don't have a great record of designing and producing decent sports cars

Also, I wasn't given an exact price, only a ballpark, and they wanted a fairly sizeable deposit that wouldn't have been refundable should they habe suddenly priced it out my range at, say, £190k
