"This sort of discussion was made between the American Honda people and R&D people, and some people were questioning whether it's really necessary to have a V-10," said Koichi Kondo, executive vice president of Honda in an interview that appeared in Automotive News. "But sports is a special category. We said if we're going to do it, we're going to go to the extreme."
Never mind that Honda's V-8 dreams seem to be dead, the company wants to go big with its supercar. While displacement is going up, volume won't be. Honda expects to sell only 1000 NSXs per year in the U.S. when it goes on sale, which is expected to be the 2011 model year. It will likely also be priced higher than the GT-R, which starts around $77,000.
