With the unveiling of the Advanced Sports Car concept, Acura appears closer to getting back into the exotic sports car business, which it left when it discontinued the NSX after the 2005 model year. The concept's smooth look seems aimed to cheat the wind. Its front end is rather unusual in that it lacks a traditional grille; instead, there's an upright body-colored panel that's flanked by extremely narrow headlights. Like other performance cars, the concept has rear diffusers.
* looks like: A fighter-plane fuselage
* Defining characteristics: V-10 engine, all-wheel drive, no front grille
* Ridiculous features: Pencil-thin headlights
* Chance of being mass-produced: Probable; it hints at the shape
of the NSX's successor, and the next iteration of this
concept is supposed to turn up at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The Advanced Sports Car concept's cabin is positioned toward the rear of the car, behind the long hood. Acura says the concept was built with a potential V-10 powerplant and all-wheel-drive system in mind should a production version emerge at some point. The front wheels are 19 inches in diameter, while the rear rims measure 20 inches.
