This car could possibly trigger Honda to build something maybe revive the HSC Concept?

For that kind of money, I'd take a Z06 and an Element (for those snowy days).

it's not all about raw power =\. For a sports car i'd like a the refinement, top notch interior, top notch handling, and a sense of reliability. It's like saying you'd take a Vette over a NSX

I think the new Vette looks better than this thing. The look of the NSX still holds it own with both. But, dollar for dollar, I'd take a vette over this new thing from toyota.

I'm really not a fan of the HUGE windshield.

Plus visibility is gonna be problematic unless there's major revisions to the body design.

Good luck to Toyota on this one, but the world can always use another "supercar" so I hope they go for it.

:clap

i dont think they ever said that they were gonna make the NSX a Hybrid, they said that they might put the DNX into production though.

A c6 vette would smoke an NSX.

I'll buy this bitch post haste!!!

...

...

... If I got the money

I'm a sucker for cars that goes fast, and also a sucker for hybrid technology, this thing combines it both, poor visibility or not... Bye bye NSX...

And it started with 72K price tag... Oh my... The 2nd Toyota product I would like to buy...

If only Honda got all the money in the world like Toyota has...

true that yo. i think the ctsv would too. quite a bit heavier than the c6 but same engine.

The Volta styling is kinda 80's futuristic, but I respect them for showing the world that a hybrid-electric can be badass, as well as good for the environment- and relatively cheap. More companies better jump on that bandwagon, cause like it or not, we aren't gonna have cheap oil for decades to come. I wish honda would actually put tha Hsc hybrid concept into production :clap :clap :clap

Wish I could get some company to build my hybrid electric:
