Talk about "heavily camouflaged" prototypes. This Acura NSX was caught by Road & Track's spy photographers in Germany, showing that Honda is once and for all serious about releasing an updated version of its iconic, two-seater, mid-engined sports car—except that they're changing it to a 2+2, front-engined coupe.

How is that still an NSX? I'm not sure either. The report said that a 4.5-liter or 5.0-liter V-10 will power the new NSX, producing at least 450 hp without the use of forced induction. It will probably also have AWD, despite the front-drive bias in the layout. Expect to see this bad boy around the beginning of 2010 for a price somewhere north of $100k. You can bet NSX engineers have a certain tech-heavy track star from Nissan in their sights.
