The 2013 Detroit Auto Show unveiled yet another avatar of the Acura NSX concept supercar. Car enthusiasts were expecting a production version of Acura NSX.

However, Acura decided to wait a bit more, and now presents another version of the NSX concept.

Engine

The Acura NSX concept is equipped with an all-new Sport-Hybrid SH-AWD (Super-Handling All Wheel Drive) with three electric motor hybrid system. The new hybrid system combines a 3.5 liter V6 engine with an electric motor of 40 horsepower and two additional electric motors of 27 horsepower each powers the front wheels.

The engine is complemented by a dual-clutch transmission. The performance parameters of this car have not been released by the company but we expect an extremely quick performance by this car, thanks to the new SH-AWD hybrid system.

Design

Just like the previous version, the new NSX concept is marked by a clean, simple, yet modern surface enhanced by smooth lines. The design of the car is sporty and gives an appearance designed for speed.

For the first time, enthusiasts got a look at the interior of the NSX. The inside is as attractive as outside. The cabin provides a cockpit feel complemented by maroon leather to go with sport bucket seats. Overall, Acura has checked off all the right boxes with this concept vehicle.

The release of the Acura NSX production version is uncertain. With Acura’s penchant for perfection, we may yet see another NSX concept before the actual production version is rolled out.

However, the company seems to be moving closer to a final production with few, if any surprises. The Acura NSX would be in directly competition with the upcoming BMW i8 and Lexus LF-LC. Expect the production model to be priced northwards of the $100,000 mark.

Basically this car is designed for drivers who love fun but still want to keep their vehicles as simple as possible.

Exterior & Interior

It blends in a clean looking exterior which houses an astounding interior full of luxury and high-tech materials all for the comfort of the passengers.

Features that include an aero-style splitter, small LED cluster lights, and carbon-fiber panels. The rear comprises a sculpted flank and a long bonnet. It also features a visor-look windscreen integrated with an aerodynamic splitter which can be adjusted to allow free movement of air.

Closer Look

The 2013 Civic Tourer Concept by Honda is a cousin to the Civic hatchback, but with a sportier body and an especially sleek, classy look. Honda follow their tradition of creating wagon-like vehicles that offer a more elegant and understated style than other cars.

The Civic Tourer Concept continues the practice and is visually striking but still functional enough for everyday use.

Engine

Earth friendly engine is the new offering from Honda in the Tourer Concept, a 1.6 Liter i-DTEC engine which will eventually find its way into the CR-V class of Honda vehicles. It only delivers 119 g/km of CO2 emissions and is touted as possibly one of the “cleanest and most efficient SUVs in the market.”

Visually Appealing

The Honda Civic Tourer Concept has been given a distinct profile that sits low, while being wide enough to cling to the road. Safety is a big concern for those with families, so the Civic Tourer Concept has been designed with this in mind. The windows are large enough to allow a full view of traffic, but maintain the visual appeal of the rest of the car. Of course, having a nice view is also great for keeping children amused during longer drives.

The particularly long roof and spacious cargo area will allow a group of people to share the interior, even for lengthy trips, without feeling as though they are being crowded. There is a large overhang at the rear than many hatchbacks have, and will of course allow for more space inside the vehicle; this is great news for anyone who needs to do some serious packing, or those who just want to be able to utilize their vehicle for as many purposes as possible.

Family Friendly

While this vehicle is ideal for families, it still possesses an elegant, yet still masculine, charm that some similar vehicles are sorely lacking. With a prominent front end, a series of streamlined curves, and an overall modern feel, and you have Honda’s Tourer Concept. There is no need to compromise between individual style and family-friendly practicality any more.

Whether looking for a car that is built to support a family or just something that is both stylish and practical – the Honda Civic Tourer Concept is worth your consideration. Look out for it sometime in the autumn of 2013.
