Tochigi, Japan -- In a quest to draw more power from its midengine V-6 Sport Hybrid All Wheel Drive and compete performance-wise with cars like the Ferrari 458, the 2015 Acura NSX will have a longitudinal engine layout. Honda showed the engine layout here ahead of the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. While the NSX "concept's" exterior design is unchanged from its last auto show iteration, the chassis reveal is new. The first Honda/Acura NSX was built with transverse midengine V-6s, first of 3.0 then of 3.2 liters.
