Did Japan run out of brown alcantara? Engine cover looks more than a little forced. Maybe the money they saved on seating material, they felt they needed to plow back into a convoluted engine cover in 3k carbon?

I really feel like this car should have three other random letters since it has nearly nothing in common with the original besides it's likely strength at covering dealer floorspace for months on end.

It really doesn't remind me of the original NSX. Should've called this one a XSN or something lol.

Agreed, although I never thought the day would come when a critique of an automobile would include the phrase: "engine cover looks more than a little forced". lol

Escalade, I've seen a couple around and I think a house near me got one. Not impressed with them.

Sweet looking car, but I'd still take a Macca 570S over this.

This car wouldve been as great as its hype if it came out 2-3 years ago. The design, mostly the interior design looks a generation behind.

What's the latest out at Thermal?

I was there 1 year ago for 2 day M School. At that time, they were working out of a "fancy tent" at Thermal and no structures had been started at the track and skid pad to the West.

Construction has begun on the BMW facility. We were still in the "fancy tent" during the welcome ceremonies. Nice facility and probably even more awesome if we had full use of the whole track.
