If total HP is going to be 550, I think they goofed. The weight penalty of the hybrid system is going to push curb weight north of 3,600 lbs (maybe as high as 3,800 would be my guess) so it's not going to be the lightweight handler that the original NSX became famous for. In today's world, 550 HP is just not that impressive at that price point. Not with 650 HP Z06's, 700 HP Dodge's, 600 HP Huracan's, 650 HP McLaren's... etc...

To be successful, this car either had to be lighter than the competition, more powerful, or much better looking, and I don't think they achieved any of those things.
