This is the Electric Vision design study, and it bears a striking resemblance to the now-discontinued NSX sports car. Sculpted alongside the ZDX at the Acura Design Studio in Los Angeles, the front end features sleek vertical headlamps that almost mimic the look of Acura's IMSA Prototype racer. There's a corresponding light bar that extends across the slightly tapered nose, and an illuminated Acura badge on the hood - all in a fluorescent green color.
Acura says the Electric Vision Design Study offers a glimpse of a potential sporty EV. But the company isn't confirming whether or not this concept will go into production, nor does the Electric Vision Design Study have any real-world power or performance numbers to report.
Acura Performance Electric Vision Concept
Acura has plans to bring its performance portfolio into the electric age, starting with the new 500-horsepower ZDX Type S and extending to future performance EVs down the line. Acura hopes to sell 300,000 EVs by 2030, and a significant portion of those vehicles will wear a Type S badge.
This concept would be an ideal replacement for the recently retired NSX hybrid sports car. For perspective, the standard NSX delivered 520 horsepower from its twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 hybrid setup, and the swan-song Type S model produced 600 horsepower. Any future electric sports car from Acura would undoubtedly have to surpass those numbers.
