The Acura EV Concept Is The NSX's Pikes Peak-Bashing Electric Cousin
Remember when an ‘electric vehicle’ meant a glorified milk float with all the charisma and style of a washing machine? How times change. On the road we have the products of Tesla, the prospect of Faraday Future joining the fray on the horizon, and we have incredibly exciting electric cars bringing their own near-silent deliveries of badassery to the world of motorsport. Case in point? This angry little devil from Honda.
It’s rather unimaginatively called the ‘Acura EV Concept’, and you’ll have probably noticed it looks like an NSX. Don’t be fooled though: that’s just the bodywork. Underneath all that lies an evolution of the CR-Z electric vehicle Honda campaigned at Pikes Peak last year, with a pair of motors at either end and clever torque vectoring tech.
What’s particularly interesting is this NSX-lookalike is running three times the power of the old CR-Z EV. So it’ll be fast, then…
Want to see this ball of EV fury in action? The Pikes Peak International Hillclimb takes place this weekend.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

that thing has enough downforce to throw off the earths rotation.
Can someone insert the Dinka Jester please?

Ah, HPD and their wacky Pikes Peak projects. Gotta love them for that.
GTA is nicely coming to life
Still on my electric car rant. They don’t make good noises, it’s only “Vrrrrrr” when you start “Vrrrr” when you accelerate, and “Vrrrr” when you stop
