Any guesses on the price? Looks like a ‘super car’ $200,000+ USA. That is one super hot body.
I want to see if it will have a stick shift, our will it go F1 style with the flappy paddles. I wouldn't design such a ultra modern car with a stick; ever forward. All virtual digital gauges on screens too. I can't wait to see what Honda engineers innovate when set free to build the best.

$100-$130k is what I have seen, but it hasn't been announced.

I'd personally prefer an actual "stick" option over the paddles. I understand the advantages of the DSGs with the paddle shifters but I still prefer the experience of driving an actual manual transmission. Anyhow, I don't think there will be an actual NSX with a "stick" option so it's a moot point.
As for the price, Acura hasn't said a word but most people seem to think it will come in around the $100-130k range, sort of price-competitive with the 911 and R8.

A new Car and Driver was waiting for me last night. They estimate $110,000 (hardtop pricing I think), which is way under what the car looks like. Pleases me because it is more in the realm of stretching the budget, but could be done by successful people without being a 1%'r. So will compete with 911 and Corvette ZR1. Flappy paddles and electric drive for the front wheels, and the car can go all electric. V6 for the rear. The polite gentleman goes electric as he backs out of his garage and whirs quietly down his cul-de-sac, before mashing the pedal and roaring to work.
As much as I enjoyed stick shift, time to move forward. With today’s engines a V6 sounds right to me in a light weight car. Not sure about the hybrid part, but that is progress too. I hope the inside looks like a spaceship.

Honda said few months ago it will not be under $100K. Also a 7speed dual clutch transmission has been announced.
