Lol if you look at the actual spy shots of the car that’s coming it looks nothing like this. People are going to be very disappointed.

It’s not like the FK2 or FK8 concepts of which the final production version looked damn near identical.

Maaaaaaaaannnnnnn.....

This is now my mid-life crisis goal!

And here I thought I was going to have a hard time figuring out what my car for a proper grand tour with my wife around the US and Canada was going to be when I retire...

If this is true I will be selling most superfluous things I own very soon.. Has anyone had a chance to run that VIN?

Dealers can't sell it until 2020, no? That's four months away. Maybe it's a test mule but why print the sticker? Honda isn't known to let inventory sit for months but Acura is (NSX) .

Oh lawd 6 speed manual??!?!
I haven’t felt this excitement since the rumors of the CTR coming to America

hate to break it to you guys but that thing is probably fake.

Wouldn't be too surprised, first I've seen of the 3.0 instead of 3.5 and the test mules all had square setups. Would be quite a redemption for acura though

Yeah, that staggered tires looked totally wrong:

yeah these 2 basically. a 20" wheel with a 255f 265r just doesn't sound right

I got excited for no reason, thanks @boosted180sx for ruining my night

Knowing Acura, they wouldn’t offer it with a MT option.

Most likely turbo J35 V6, 350hp, AWD, automatic, $45k-ish. We shall see.
