Latest Honda NSX successor rendering!

We know that development of the NSX successor is back on track (earlier post), but this doesn't really mean that the new NSX will have the same philosophy as the old one did. Anyway, the latest BC's speculations have been published a while back (earlier post) and now, it's time for a new rendering!

BC claims that power will come from a 3.5L V6 engine plus the under-development hybrid system designed for mid-large size vehicles. Total power output should be around 500 PS and it will still be able to achieve a fuel efficiency of 20.0 km/L (10.15 mode). Expect it to be launched in 2013 - 2014.

More shots of Mazda MX-5 successor rendering

Almost one week ago, I published a post about the MX-5 successor (earlier post) due in 2012, and now I managed to take some better shots of the same rendering published by BC.

Lexus announced the launch of the 2011 IS 350C F Sport Special Edition, which will arrive at the dealerships in the US later this month. Only 175 will be built and as you can easily understand, those special IS 350Cs will feature F Sport equipment, as well as interior badging and red stitching. The retail price is $55,120 and the special equipment includes the following:

• 19-inch forged alloy wheels with dark graphite finish and Michelin Pilot Sport 225/35ZR19 tires in the front and 255/35ZR19 tires in the rear;
• Shock set developed in cooperation with Bilstein;
• Lowering springs that reduce the ride height approximately one-inch in the front and rear resulting in a more aggressive appearance and lower center of gravity;

New Honda Civic (USDM) officially revealed

The 9th-gen USDM Honda Civic has been revealed and I am afraid there are no pleasant surprises... Honda claims that the new-gen Civic shares practically nothing with the previous model!

The petrol version will be powered by a 1.8L i-VTEC engine, with a power output of 140 hp, while the hybrid version will be powered by a 1.5L engine coupled to a CVT gearbox. An Li-Ion battery will be used for the first time in a Honda vehicle and the total power output is 110 hp. The sporty Si model will get a new 2.4L engine with 200 hp.

Another impression of next-gen Lexus GS...

OK, we have seen Mag-X's and BC's impressions and now it's time for Japanese Motor Magazine! Hmm, this impression looks much better to me...

... and BC's impression of next-gen Lexus GS-F!

Last report regarding the hot GS-F suggested that power will come from a 3.5L V6 engine coupled to an electric motor (earlier post) and it should hit the market in August this year. This is earlier than expected, but considering than a new GS is underway, it makes sense. To be honest though, I am not convinced about the electric motor bit at all...

Anyway, following BC's impression of the next-gen GS (earlier post), here is an impression of the next-gen GS-F!
