The luxury brand company Honda - Acura - is preparing to recharge model line "unusual for a car," which, according to preliminary information, will be on sale next year. It is reported by Car and Driver magazine, citing its own sources.

Detailed information about the new model has not been disclosed. Some experts suggest that the company is preparing to debut Acura electric vehicle that will help luxury brand to join the struggle for buyers for environmentally friendly cars and increase sales. Other experts do not exclude the possibility of the appearance of a sports car, perhaps even ideological successor Supercar Honda NSX. Note that previously, this model is traditionally sold in the U.S. under the brand Acura.

Nevertheless, sources magazine Car and Driver adds that the new front-supercar, Honda, test prototype of which two years ago was captured in the Nürburgring in Germany, it was decided not to market. Initially it was assumed that this is the car will be the successor model of NSX, but the Japanese manufacturer has decided that to begin selling this car, whose value amounted to around 150-175 thousand dollars, during the global economic crisis will not be profitable.

Earlier it was reported that the company Acura in the next year and a half, also intends to release a new flagship sedan, which will replace the current RL. It is expected that the development of this car engineers focus on safety and quality of materials used, and to improve sound insulation. Machine design, as precise Car and Driver, in comparison with the RL of the current generation does not fundamentally change.
