The highly anticipated NSX, in concept form, will fire up its twin-turbocharged engine and innovative new three-motor, torque vectoring Sport Hybrid powertrain in Gran Turismo®6 (GT6) which has just been released.
The real driving simulator available exclusively for the PlayStation®3 system gives sports car enthusiasts their first opportunity to get behind the wheel of the next generation NSX concept.
Targeting next-generation supercar dynamic capabilities with advanced environmental performance, the NSX will be powered by a mid-mounted, direct-injected and twin-turbocharged V6 engine mated to Honda’s Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) system.
The SH-AWD is an all-new, three-motor high-performance hybrid system that combines torque vectoring all-wheel-drive with advanced hybrid efficiency through the use of three electric motors. One motor is integrated with the V6 engine and its all-new dual-clutch transmission (DCT) driving the rear wheels, and two high-output electric motors drive the front wheels.
The system enables instant delivery of negative or positive torque during cornering to achieve a new level of driving performance unparalleled by current AWD systems.
