Honda has cancelled the new NSX as part of a radical restructuring of its car making business.

The V10-engined supercar, which was a direct challenge to Ferrari and Porsche, would have been the most powerful production car that the company had ever produced.

Honda CEO Takeo Fukui announced the move in his end of year speech, saying that all development of the car would be cancelled. The company has also withdrawn its plan to introduce the Acura brand to Japan in 2010.

Fukui had decided to concentrate on Honda's environmental credentials. He believes that hybrid drivetrains offer "the most realistic path for CO2 reduction at this moment". This means that Honda will focus its energy on developing hybrid technologies and "achieving mass market penetration as soon as possible".

The cancellation of the Honda NSX will come as a bitter disappointment to fans of the old model, which finally went off sale in 2005, after 15 years in production.

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The guy who created Honda (ive forgotten his name) always said that they should create the best cars, the most advanced and the cars people want.

Who wants an Electric civic? Stupid people with no right to decide on what cars should be made. They should walk. They have no interest in cars whatsoever.

Who wants a new NSX? Everyone with an iq over 7.

Honda's gone to the dogs i reckon. Theyll be cutting the type r's next.
