Acura NSX EV Concept
Acura has dropped the first official
images of the NSX-based EV Concept, which will tackle this year's Pikes Peak
International Hill Climb.
Developed by Honda's R&D department,
its four electric motors with separate Twin Motor Units (TMU) on each axle,
described by the manufacturer as "the brains of Sport Hybrid SH-AWD",
provide independent torque distribution.
The all-electric NSX will go up the 19.99 km long course and through its demanding 156 corners with
Tetsuya Yamano, the man who drove last year's CR-Z-based electric prototype,
behind the wheel.
The zero-emission supercar concept will
be put through its paces on June 26, and it will be joined at the hillclimb by
two specially tweaked NSXs, which still use the twin-turbo V6 internal
combustion engine that will howl in the Time Attack 1 and 2 classes.
