The Acura NSX will be road ready in 2017. Consumers may also be watching for the performance upgrades to come via Hennessey Performance. This could make the Tesla Model S less appealing to consumers, despite its NASCAR look. Though the two cars are essentially in different classes, the draw to “go green,” or stick with traditional horsepower may be influenced by the new Acura 2017 model. Elon Musk may have a room full of innovative brains, but it is always going to be tough to compete with the way things have always been done in America. Or at least until all the oil runs out. Tesla may need to step up their game to stay in the race.
Acura NSX NASCAR Performance
It is fun to think about NASCAR and cars that could match up. Or maybe there could be a NASCAR race with normal cars, with everyday drivers behind the wheels. Either way, car performance technology is becoming as intricate and savvy as NASCAR that is for sure. Companies like Tesla and Acura continue to produce next level vehicles, with performance upgrades available. The 2017 Acura NSX will boast 476 lb/ft of torque for its 3,800-pound body. That is only the tip of the iceberg, since Hennessey Performance has supercharged upgrades in mind.
Hennessey Performance Upgrades
The Hennessey Performance upgrades for the Acura NSX are still a bit obscure. They have only hinted to a twin-turbo system, lightweight wheels, intercooler and exhaust upgrades on their website. Hennessey’s past would suggest some very amazing upgrades to come. Like Tesla’s motor upgrades for its Model S car, there may be more than meets the eye for consumers.
Can Anyone Afford These Cars?
Acura has high hopes for its 2017 NSX. Its pending release has been compared to the Audi R8. But are these cars affordable to the average American? The NSX has an MSRP of more than $150,000. The P90D Tesla Model S addition is also estimated in the six-figure price range. With debt mounting in the U.S., can consumers really park these new innovative cars in their driveways? Should Tesla and Acura rethink price over innovation?
