    Sounds good! Sounds really good. Suspension and chassis obviously need to undergo some additional tuning.

    Sounds fantastic! But I still feel it's a shame that they abandoned the mid-engined concept.

    Yes, and the small-sized concept. That thing is a yatch - seems almost as big as GT-R...

    No. This car will be about the size of a Corvette.

    Incidentally... most people think that the Vette (C6) is large. Actually it has the same length and width as a 997 and it is 2 inches lower. It seems longer but it is not.

    I believe the hood of the Corvette gives the illusion that the car is long as a boat.

    Both the Vette and 997 are a bit too big, imho. However, the Vette does seem like the bigger car when you drive it back to back with the 997 (even though it's not), although the 997 has noticably more headroom.

    That car looks like a 350Z with the tail of the Z4 grafted on.

    in that one turn, the headlight design is given away when the turn signals are engaded by the driver.

    Looks promising in design!

    ps. I too thought the suspension was a little soft... you can see some movement and bouncing chassis

    Compared to the video of the GT-R, the NSX looks to be a little less planted. I saw some push into and out of turns. Oversteer could be chalked up to having stability control turned off or on low.

    I'm still surprised they went front engine this time out given all V10-mid engine Formula One experience.

    With your eyes closed, it sounds pretty darn close to a Gallardo.

    Great sound, now I'm really curious what the production model will look like. This prototype doesn't look much like the original but who knows with all that camo.

    Glad to see they're getting closer to production. Whether or not you like the looks of GT-R, Lexus LF-A, or the future NSX, at the end of the day it is more competition between manufacturers and more choices for us. I don't think anybody will argue that's a bad thing!
