The first clue for the next generation NSX was offered by Acura with the introduction of the HSC (High-Performance Sports Concept) at Detroit in 2004. The advancement towards a production version has been deduced as several test mules have been spotted in tests on Nürburgring. Although using S2000 body panels, the overall sizes and mid-engine placement of the mule indicate that it is a possible successor for the NSX, the only Honda with middle positioned engine.
