Acura NSX Concept: Another Veteran of Gran Turismo 6

After the Gran Turismo 6-inspired Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept made the jump from video game to reality, lo and behold it’s now Honda’s turn to do the same with its Acura NSX concept.

What started out as a virtual racing car in the shape of a new Acura NSX will make it to production in 2015.

In the video game, this high-performance SH-AWD sport model is powered by a hybrid powertrain, combining a mid-engine biturbo V6 connected to three electric motors.

Back in July, Acura tweeted a photo of the all new NSX prototype from its official Twitter account. It was the first hint that the vehicle moved from a mere concept to an actual working prototype.

Acura plans to build the NSX at a brand new $70 million facility in Marysville, Ohio starting in 2015. No details on performance or pricing are available at this time.
