does neone know the stats on the new NSX? i see the face lifted front but i havn't seen the numbers or reviews yet...

 

it's the same as the nsx's that they sell in japan, 276hp, and 261hp for europe. The stats are on the new automobile magazine. Hope that helps.

They're not changing the drivetrain at all, so the performance numbers should be exactly the same as the 1997-2001 NSX (290 hp, etc).

290 when it gets to the states maybe, but in Japan the power is restricted to 276 hp isn't it? Well that's what Automobile magazine says about the japan NSX.

The power is exactly the same. However, (a) in Japan they use a different scale for measuring power (ps instead of hp, I think) that gives slightly different results; and (b) there is an agreement not to publish power figures above a certain level.

 

yeah ur talking about a skyline making 270ps......hhahah and runs low 13's high 12's in a 3500 lb car......all i know is that japan has alot of 300+hp cars...

 

Well, keep in mind the 97+ NSX will do a low 13 (don't remember the exact number) on 290hp and 3200lb. The skyline has a crazy all wheel drive system on top of that which has to be good for a few tenths. So really, Nissan wouldn't have to under-claim the horsepower by much.

13.3 per Motor Trend 5/97
13.5 per Road & Track 2/97

12.9 per Car and Driver 7/98 but that was a coupe so it had a hundred-pound weight advantage
