Inside Line recently reported that Honda's next-generation Acura NSX would survive as a racer in Japan's Super GT Series, and now we have confirmation of this as well as an image of the sleek prototype.

Looking extremely mean and serious, the Honda NSX has come out from hiding. The only problem is that no one will be able to drive it.

With both Nissan and Lexus successfully developing advanced sports cars capable of competing with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini over the past couple of years, we're still surprised to see that Honda has no intentions of competing in this segment.

Few mainstream automotive manufacturers have attempted to take on exotic car manufacturers, but Honda did just that with the mid-engined NSX in 1990.

When Takeo Fukui, former president of Honda Motor Co., cancelled development of the next-generation Acura NSX, it seemed to be the end of the legendary nameplate, the symbol of Honda's love for technology and performance.

Honda 's Acura division has always had a unique position in the marketplace, residing in the somewhat ambiguous 'entry-luxury' category, also occupied by Buick , Lincoln , Volvo , and others.

This year's Tokyo Motor Show is feeling the effects of the global economic crisis as the number of novelties and the amount of exhibition space has shrunk for the first time in 20 years.

The Walking Assist Device with Stride Management is an experimental device that has been in development for nearly a decade.

The mid-engine supercar developed with input from the legendary Ayrton Senna first hit the market in 1990 and didn't cease production until 2005, giving it one of the longest production runs in the business.
