NSX was the car which make Modena chaps get back to the drawing board. So NSX everyday. And I don't like Lotus tht much, they have a tendency to get kinda stuck just lik ma ol double cab..
Thnxx..
My vote goes to "Lotus"...!
"V8 & turbo"...! That mechine is mad fast & a real exotic...!

Finally, some love for the poor Esprit, lol. I can't wait for the new Esprit to be released, rumour has it that it will use a BMW V8...should be sweet.
@ kahmed79:
Yeah man...! Here you go, Bimmer power...! Another reason why I love that mechine...!
Well, you can imagine the power of BMWs powertrain, considering McLaren F1..! Zuuuuummmmmmm...!
@szuberi..I heard tht too keh the next generation NSX will be V10..after lot of disappointment Acura is doing research work to directly jump from V6 to V10 engine skipping V8 in b/w....I dont know why the hell japanese lack in this department??.i mean super sports cars !!
The Jap's are taking forever to release their supercars. The next few years will hopefully see the release of the Lexus LF-A, Nissan Skyline GT-R, and probably the Acura NSX. So far there have been prototypes of the LF-A and the GT-R, nothing concrete on the NSX replacement. Nissan is working hard with Cosworth and Lotus to develop the powertrain and sort out the ride and handling. Toyota is probably busy with Yamaha on the engine development and quite possibly Lotus on the handling.
@Kahmedthe delay in the release of Jap super cars is due to the leap in technology from the current breed of cars. inturn this will allow them to be a more serious threat.

It must be an enormous leap because the Skyline is taking forever. There are talks of electrical spool turbos, which I don't think is going to happen. Nissan is probably going to go the VTG route that Porsche took with turbos. But then again, the GT-R has always been cutting edge. The German's seem to be a lot more efficient in their car releases because they never stop working on the successor model. While the Jap's spend a few years considering development of a successor. For example, the E60 M5 was released on time and so was the 997 Turbo. Porsche could have waited till they perfected their version of the sequential gearbox but went ahead and released the car. I just hope that the Jap's don't disappoint.
man NSX anytime!!
@HarlowJapAutos
yea man i too watched that show a couple of months back..lolll!!..how they installed turbos n other stuff in that lotus n in the end its transmission refused to work..it was not once but some 2-3 times that, that car put them in trouble n at the end they had to drop the idea of achieving the 200mph mark...if i'm not wrong they tested Vanquish in that show too n it also had some trouble with the drive belt.
