Acura + V8 = The Bomb
Looks like the person in charge of research and development for Honda vehicles, Hirohide Ikeno, says that he is voting and pushing for the appearance of a V8 onto the Acura lineup. However, only Acura vehicles will get this upgrade if it comes, as Honda will still retain the efficient V6′s. Many top-of-the-line brands including Mercedes-Benz and BMW have already been fitted with powerful V8 engines.
Acura is often criticized by many car enthusiasts for the lack of a V8 option in their lineup. If the idea is introduced and gets the green light, we will most likely see the V8 be fitted on the Acura RL, which is pictured above, to compete with the V8 Lexus GS. The next generation of the super NSX car is expected to come with a V10 engine.
wow, finally. but notice that it hasn’t been confirmed yet, so we probably won’t see the V8 until like the NSX comes out. we all know honda loves its V6 engines and the efficiency it provides. we’ll see.
um, Acura is a little behind, dont you think? they should’ve introduced V8′s like a long time ago when Lexus first introduced V8′s to the lineup. oh, well, I hope they do bring V8′s to the lineup so people will actually start liking Acuras more.
I agree, Acura is a little late to the game. However, the saying goes, “better late than never.” Acura is starting to do some interesting things…
