Shortly after announcing Honda�s withdrawal from Formula One, Honda�s Takeo Fukui has announced that the new Honda NSX project has been scrapped, though some are speculating that it�s actually just frozen for the time being. Apparently the move is part of efforts to cut costs in the increasingly challenging automaker environment.
The Honda NSX would have been a supercar with a screaming V10 mounted up front, a departure from the original NSX�s V6-powered mid-mounted layout. In fact, there have already been prototypes sighted on test in places like the Nurburgring, but I guess it�s just not meant to be, for now at least. Instead, expect any dedicated sports car offerings coming out of Honda to be small, light and come with a fuel cell or hybrid engine, pretty much like the Honda CR-Z Concept, in line with the green image that Honda is working hard to project now.
