This Sunday at the press days for the Detroit Auto Show Acura is going to show the world a new concept for a next gen sports car. Now, notice I have not said "NSX". That's because no one is really sure if this car is going to be called a NSX and whether or not it will share the NSX's mid-engined rear wheel drive layout. There's also speculation that this is a rumoured sub-NSX sports car.
Acura released a cocnept pic last month that leads many to think that this will be a front-engined GT type car. This would make it really easy to fit that V10 in there but in a way I'd be dissappointed if it wasn't MR like the original.

The only thing about the car that has been confirmed thus far is that it will have V10 power. How big of a V10 no one knows but my guess is between 4.5 and 5.5 liters.
It'll be a real shame if the NSX's successor is not MR but hopefully the car will break new ground and be worthy as Honda's flagship car.
