The new PAGANI HUAYRA
https://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=23070
First the name is just...  I think it looks a bit crap, I prefer the Zonda. But the engine specs on this one seem awesome!

It's a 6.0 litre twin turbo V12, pushing out 700 - 730bhp - what's not to like about it??
(Just to contradict myself, the only thing i don't like is the name, it sounds like an illness. "Ethel's back in hospital, her Huayra's playing up again. She's a martyr to it, bless 'er".)

Looks ok, not as nice as the Zonda. I'm sure it'll be mental in every way.

No bike is worth giving up an NSX for!!!
I have only ever seen one on the road and it's from my area. There's a lot of people with too much money in my area. It seems like every car you see is merc, bmw, audi or porsche (I'm talking about the good ones). Then there's the lambos, bentleys etc. None of them really with much thought and more of a status symbol.
I always think of the guy with the NSX as a bit of a rebel standing out from the rest. I mean, lets be honest here, who wants to spend 20k+ on a Honda?
Every clueless person wants a prestiege name with a new numberplate and to improve their status. It's nice to see people going for something different.
(to be clear I can appreciate certain prestiege badged cars, but it has nothing to do with status or the badge.)
I would love an NSX one day, although I wouldn't buy one because I doubt it would live up to my expectations. |

The Honda NSX is just that, the different way to go about things! especially in places like cheshire where they will happily spunk the best part of 80k on a range rover every 18 months. Real cool is more then money.
Not the quickest thing in the world or the best looking and just like a delta intergrale turbo (in red) I would have sex with all manner of wrong things to own.

Both were great fun but completely different. Firstly, I am 45 so bear in mind the insurance for them becomes much more bearable for this kind of ce after you turn 40. I didn't have the first one until I was 36.
On balance, I think I miss the FTO more as it was the more useable car on a daily basis. 40mpg if you drive it quietly!!!! It was also more suted to UK roads. Yes the NSX was fun and looked terrific but despite wanting one since they came out in 1991, when I finally got my hands on one the novelty of driving a spaceship around soon wore off! Don't get me wrong, it is an outstanding performer...on the track! In reality, UK roads don't let you experience that many of the good bits and you do have to live with the downsides - cost to run, cost to repair, fear of leaving it parked in town, lack of carrying capacity, poor visibility (when you are stuck in traffic you are lower than a low thing on a low day!). As great sportscar, the NSX is massively underrated and as has already been said, the badge is a big part of that. It is like SAGA running 18-30 holidays, the brand doesn't quite do it.
Over the 3 years I had the NSX it cost me around £3k in tyres, maintenance and tinkering (although there is not much you can tinker with unless you want to spend a LOT of money) and I lost another £3 on the sale from what I paid for it. However, for that kind of car, those numbers are pretty good from what I can work out. Also as a 'K' plate '92 mine was the 270BHP version 3.0 not the later 3.2 300BHP which is more saught after. Also, as a rear wheel drive with big tyres, it was sh*te in anything approaching frost! Even the mid engine weight didn't sort that out........living in Glasgow, as I was at the time, that was a serious consideration!
Although much more of a compromise, the FTO was was an easier car to live with. It had 210bhp and despite various modifications to others I have seen, unless you do a powertrain conversion on it you won't get much more than that onto the road! It was just over 6 seconds to 60 as opposed to the Honda's just under (later versions were faster than mine supposedly by about a second).
The FTO parts were a lot cheaper, as long as you ordered the part equivalent from other models and not walk into a Mitsy dealership and say I'm looking for ........ for an FTO...in those cases they tripled the price and told you it had to come from Japan! (bollox by the way).
The FTO was also more fun on the backroads as you could thow it around more. The NSX had buckets of grip up to the limit then none.....had a few underwear changes sitting in the right hand lane facing oncoming traffic with that feature!
The FTO was cheaper to own all round, at least 30mpg (unless it was playtime) and it qualified for car allowance with my employer at the time as it was a 2+2 rather than a 2 seater and I made £1k on the sale inbetween. It also won best in show standard category at the 2005 FTO Owners Club National meet. Sold the FTO in 2007 and now drive a Volvo!!!!!!!
Both a completely different to the experience of a bike ("no shit Sherlock"...I know!) and as such neither of them are an alternative, even my 'old man' Honda is faster than both.
If the opportunity arose now, I would have another FTO but wouldn't buy another NSX....but then as I said two cups of coffee ago, I am 45!
