Honda is once again officially on course to develop a successor to the iconic NSX.
According to major Japanese daily newspaper Asahi Shimbun, Honda's president Takanobu Ito confirmed previous rumours of the NSX successor's resurrection at a press conference on Friday.
Contrary to previous reports, however, Asahi Shimbun suggested that the new car will be based on the HSV-010 GT racer, which was itself based on the previous attempt
"I think Honda should respect the history of the Super GT competition (as a stock-car race)," said Ito. Which raises the most enticing prospect of a front mid-engined, rear-drive V10 Honda sports car at some point in the near future.
Ito also hinted at a possible 'budget' sports car, saying, "there are two types of sports cars - affordable and high-performance. I hope we will be able to market both."
