We are now focused on the development of a new model to succeed the NSX for a new era. We would like to debut a new super sports car equipped with a V10 engine in 3 to 4 years. Please look forward to seeing the NSX successor.

The first generation NSX is another example of this burning desire for performance. It set new standards in many areas, from its advanced technologies to its incredible performance. Today, we want to show you a new concept car that hints at the design direction of the successor to the NSX. This design was created by our Los Angeles-based team. In a few months, this team will move into the Acura Design Center. But they have already created an exciting Acura Advanced Sports Car concept.

Before I show it to you, I want to emphasize that this vehicle is about more than just great styling. As we advance toward building a car like this, I can tell you it will feature advanced technology matching our passion for performance. This will include an all-new V10 engine that is Acura's most powerful ever. This front engine vehicle will also feature a new high performance, rear wheel drive version of Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive.

Our direction is clear. We plan to Advance, in technology, in design, and in overall performance. This fall, at the Tokyo Motor Show, we will showcase the next stage in our advancement. But today, we have an exciting idea for the next Acura super sports car. I hope you like this exciting new concept, and the direction for the Acura brand. Thank you.

It's a bold and provocative design execution that attempts to define the concept of "Advance" which Mr. Fukui mentioned earlier. It's our idea of what an exotic high-performance sports car can look like in the not so distant future, while retaining some subtle design cues from our first generation NSX.

In 2007, Acura unveiled the Advanced Sports Car Concept (ASCC) at the North American International Auto Show. While Acura did not indicate whether the production version of the ASCC will be named "NSX", the ASCC has been widely reported as being the NSX's successor.

The ASCC concept was introduced by Takeo Fukui, President and CEO of Honda, who stated that it represents the design direction for an upcoming Acura sports car. The ASCC has a front-mounted V10 engine and a rear wheel drive version of Honda's SH-AWD system. It has a wheelbase of 108.8 inches, and has 19 inch wheels in front, and 20 inch wheels in the rear.

Recent reports indicate that the production version of the V10 engine will displace be 5.5 liters and produce 550 bhp. It is also expected to incorporate Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology, allowing the engine to run on five cylinders to boost fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The ASCC is expected to be capable of a top speed of approximately 200 mph, and achieving a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds.
