Acura NSX test mule hits the 'Ring

Spy shots: Acura NSX test mule hits the 'Ring

One of the strangest test mules I've ever seen.

that must be just a chassis and suspension mule.

like Porsche had when they were developing the 928. Their chassis and suspension mule had an Audi sedan body mounted on it.

It's looks more like a Mazda RX-8 that anything else. It might even be mid-engine.

I seriously doubt it's a Mazda body, especially since it looks just like a Honda S2000. It's a Honda S2000 chassis and the front and rear are S2000. Honda = Acura not Mazda.

similar maybe, but the S2000 is a decent looking car and the RX8 is ugly.


S2000

RX-8



S2000

You're right, that RX-8 is a train wreck.

I'm trying to figure out if it's a mid or front engine. There seems to be enough space in both for the supposed v10.
