Honda V8 turbo in the works

[tacoboy]

The latest issue of Car-Mode (Japanese Magazine) claims to have a scoop on the next NSX-R, predicting that it will feature a turbocharged V8 good for 500ps, which matches the predicted output of the upcoming Skyline GT-R and surpasses Toyota's upcoming GT supercar by 50ps.

While turbochargers haven't been used by Honda very frequently in the past, for the past 18 months or so there have been lots of whispers surrounding the secret development of turbo Hondas.

Another nsx-r? why waste more development money on this..? If there is a market, then lets have a NEW nsx not another revamp of the old one

Soon to be followed by a irratating but memorable advertisment methinks.
