R8 copy or not, I think that rendering looks good, but it's just going to be too far down on power/performance for what I'm expecting them to really charge for it (80-100K) to ever consider it.

If it weighs 2700# it will be fine. Remember, the original NSX set some records for construction/weight. Further, consider the quality.

/\ oh no doubt. I just am a bit skeptical about it being a super lightweight car since they stated hybrid tech in there. Now, to get that super lightweight and still be a hybrid, they it will probably be more like a 150-200K car.

yeah, I still love the old NSXs, a timeless car imo.

unlikely it will weigh anywhere near that unless it was the size of a tin can, or a lotus elise, not that there's much difference between them

The other alternative is using exotic materials, mainly carbon fibre. but that will price it right out of the market, unless honda is willing to eat up a huge loss on each car. Even then it still won't meet that weight target. The mp 4-12c also uses extensive carbon fibre structures in its frame, yet still weighs a bit over 3000 pounds.
