Acura
has dropped the first official images of the NSX-based EV Concept, which tackles the 2016 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.
