" DETROIT \u2014 Acura&amp;#039;s iconic affordable supercar, the NSX, was never the huge sales success it should have been. It drew raves from enthusiats and owners who felt the mid-engine V6 coupe could run with the world&amp;#039;s most expensive exotics. But sales never justified putting too much refreshing or updating into the car, and so it died a quiet peaceful death. Enter the Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept (ASCC) today in Detroit. Before I show it to you, I want to emphasize that this vehicle is about more than just great styling. As we advance toward building a car like this, I can tell you it will feature advanced technology matching our passion for performance. This will include an all-new V10 engine that is Acura&amp;#039;s most powerful ever. This front engine vehicle will also feature a new high performance, rear wheel drive version of Acura&amp;#039;s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. &amp;quot;The Acura brand will always be a home for people who love to drive,&amp;quot; said Takeo Fukui, president &amp;amp;amp; CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. And the ASCC will be the foundation of a soon-to-be NSX replacement that should make for a might fast and cozy home for two. Unlike the V6-powered NSX, the ASCC has a V10 powering its rear wheels. Those rear wheels, by the way, are carrying 295/35R20 tires to ensure that engine&amp;#039;s power gets to the ground. The front tires are 255/40R19 so inputs from the steering wheel should be as immediate and accurate as the NSX&amp;#039;s ever were. This car\u2014or one very close to it\u2014is on its way. \u2014Jim Dunne VITAL SPECS: Width: 78.6 in. Length:181.5 in.
