Acura NSX concept!! Is it really coming back to the states????!!!!! :-)

Acura NSX Concept

Acura's Supercar Returns

Click to View Gallery

January 09, 2012 / By Evan McCausland

Acura NSX fans will never forget the month of December in 2005. The last NSX bound for the North American market was built then and enthusiasts have been mourning the loss of Honda's first supercar ever since. Well now they can stop mourning, because a new-generation NSX with a powerful hybrid powertrain is coming to the U.S.

Recently, Acura invited a select group of journalists out to its dealer meeting in Las Vegas for a taste of things to come. Along with the new ILX sedan and RDX crossover, we laid eyes on the shapely NSX concept on display at the 2012 Detroit show -- and, better yet, received word that it previews an actual production car that is expected to be built right here in the USA and should be here in three year's time.
That immense lull between NSX models wasn't exactly intentional. Honda had been working on crafting a flagship sports car for quite a while, but what once seemed like a clear-cut plan quickly became tumultuous.

Let's recap: although the first-generation NSX ceased to be in 2005, Honda first started hinting at a successor back in 2003, when it began showing the HSC on the global auto show circuit. Two years later, while confirming demise of the original car, the company announced efforts to develop a successor "had intensified."

True to its word, a concept foreshadowing such a vehicle emerged in early 2007. The Advanced Sports Car Concept, which debuted at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, was said to hint at a new premium sports car, but many enthusiasts had trouble calling it the NSX. The reluctance was understandable, as the formula Honda was pursuing was a far cry from what we'd seen before. The ASCC eschewed a V-6 for a ten-cylinder engine, and also adopted a front engine layout and an all-wheel-drive system.

Spy photographers subsequently caught prototypes testing on public roads, but the project wouldn't last for long. In 2008, an unstable automotive market and questionable global economic stability led Honda to reconsider its priorities -- not surprisingly, an expensive top-tier sports car wasn't exactly one of them. Although the development of a road car was canceled, the front-engine NSX project served as the basis of Honda's HSV-010 GT race car for the Japanese Super GT project.
Hope blossomed once again in early 2011, when Takanobu Ito, CEO of the Honda Motor Company and a former engineer on the original NSX project, confirmed his company was once again working on a new NSX.
This latest approach shares virtually nothing with the company's last stab at an NSX successor. Previous ideas, notably those that called for a ten-cylinder engine to be placed ahead of the passenger compartment, have been discarded in favor of an approach officials believe is much more in line with Acura's brand identity.

As was the case with the original, the new NSX places its engine smack in the middle of its chassis. That engine will likely be a V-6, but that's where the similarities with the original car end. As was the case nearly two decades ago, Honda engineers view the car as a halo vehicle, one ideal for showcasing its engineering prowess and its latest and greatest technologies.

Subsequently, the NSX will utilize a form of the new hybrid Super Handling-AWD (SH-AWD) system. The V-6, likely a 3.5- or 3.7-liter, will drive the rear wheels by means of a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Unlike the current SH-AWD system, which would send power to the front wheels by way of a driveshaft and a mechanical differential, the NSX's front wheels will instead be powered by a pair of electric motors. As each motor is assigned to a wheel, the system has the ability to accelerate the outer wheel in a corner, creating a yaw moment that improves the car's ability to turn in and rotate. All told, the system could produce a net punch of about 400 hp.
Of course, packaging that sort of technology in a plain wrapper wouldn't suffice for a halo car. Love it or hate it, the new NSX's sheetmetal will certainly turn heads. Despite borrowing the Audi R8's general proportions and stance -- i.e. wide track, cabin pushed close to the front axle, etc. -- the car has a visual identity all its own.

Acura's edgy design language takes center stage, but the beleaguered "beak" grille -- long a complaint of previous Acura designs -- is thankfully nowhere to be found. Thin LED headlamps give way to a panel that dominates the upper half of the grille. The car's side panels are relatively clean and unspoiled, interrupted only by a rather dramatic light kicker above the rocker panels and a character line that neatly folds into a pair of buttresses that wisp away from the roofline itself. A thin line of LEDs wraps itself into the rear fenders, runs the entire width of the rear fascia, and effectively serves as both brake lights and a center-mounted stop lamp. The display model we were shown lacked a full interior, but appeared to boast a waterfall instrument panel that evolved the twin cockpit theme used in the original NSX.

Although Acura's only showing the car in coupe form at this point, there are rumblings of a convertible variant, fueled in part by the appearance of a similar-looking roadster on the set of the forthcoming Avengers super hero movie. If approved for production, expect that car to differ only in terms of its decklid, rear fenders, and side character line.
It's still unclear if the NSX will utilize its own architecture, or perhaps share its platform with another vehicle. It is, however, fairly certain to enter production. Officials tell us the development program is still in its infancy, but the car could enter series production as early as 2015.

Will a hybrid sports car scare off some purists? Perhaps. But it doesn't necessarily equate to a vehicle that's not enjoyable to drive. As was the case with the first NSX, engineers are striving for a balance between driving nirvana and daily tractability -- albeit this time with an ecological conscience thrown in for good measure.
"The NSX will make the driver one with the car to enhance dynamic driving abilities without getting in the way," says Honda CEO Ito. "Like the first NSX, we will again express high performance through engineering efficiency -- but even as we focus on the fun to drive spirit of the NSX, I think a supercar must respond positively to environmental responsibilities."

To maintain the 7.3 Logic 7 surround sound true digital signal we used a Audison Bit one Processor.

We took output from the factory amp

We fed all 8 channels into the Bit One,

The next step is to assign outputs. The Bit One will ask you to determine fronts, rears, and subs. You can assign channel numbers and whether or not the front and rear speaker have passive crossovers between the mid and tweet. Once this is all done we  inserted the setup disc into your CD drive and turned the volume up to just before clipping using our oscilloscope .

The Bit One Processed, time aliened, set crossover points, complete I was able to start tuning. The Bit One gives you many features to get your system tuned in just right. First you have to determine if you use a full range, high-pass, low-pass or band-pass crossover. Then you set the crossover type: you can use either Linkwitz-Reiley or Butterworth type networks. Crossover frequency is highly adjustable. It is grouped into different frequency sets and then broken down further from there. Next you will need to decide on where you want your listening position to be set for the time delay. To set the delay simply measure all your distances and enter them for each speaker. The Bit One will set the delays automatically (there is also the ability to fine tune the delay in .02 milliseconds). In addition, there's a phase inversion button to invert the phase of any speaker as well as a left/right crossover link.

The equalizer is 31 band 1/3 octave e per output channel  that can be set for each individual channel or for linking the left/right respective channels. For This parts we used our RTA (Real Time Analyzer).

The speakers we chose where all Hertz Audio :-)   (My personal favorite)

165 XL Hi energy components 6.5 inch in the front doors.

4 inch in the center dash

165 XL Hi Energy components 6.5 inch in rear doors

4 inch rear surrounds

2 12 inch Hi Energy subwoofers

For amplification we used 

One mono - one 5 channel - and one 4 channel

All Hertz Audio HHDP1 - HDP4 - HDP5

Fitting all those amps and still making it look clean was a job and a half!

Pioneer APP radio 2 for Apple Iphone and now for Android too!

Pioneer updated its App radio for 2012 .

The app radio 2 has a few impressive upgrades over App radio that came out late year.

App radio 2 now adds another set of RCA pre out for a total of two (hopefully it will have High pass filter for the front outputs and selectable high pass / low pass for the rear but i doubt it) The major upgrade and difference between app radio 1 and 2 is the addition of Android support fot the most popular droid phone out there. It will connect to android phones over MLH or micro HDMI. The rest of the features remain mostly unchanged, Am/Fm radio with RDS, No CD drive, USB for music and video from flash memory devices, Bluetooth hands free calling and audio streaming, back up camera input (but still no video output for rear seat monitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) steering wheel control input, and the biggest pit fall for the unit...... YOU MUST INITIATE THE APPS FROM THE PHONE SCREEN BEFORE YOU CAN CONTROL THEM FROM THE PIONEER TOUCH SCREEN !!! YOU CAN NOT LAUNCH THE APP FROM THE TOUCH SCREEN :-(

In pioneers defence this is probably a limitation of the device (iPhone/droid) not the pioneer unit , because no company so fall has be able to do this either.

We should have a BETA unit to test in a couple of months, so check back . We will post a video of the hands on test drive of the new APP radio 2.

AppRadio 2 Adds Support for Select Androids

PIONEER’S NEXT GENERATION APPRADIO EXPANDS COMPATIBILITY

Ted Cardenas addresses the press assembled at the Venetian Hotel on Monday prior to opening day of CES 2012.

LAS VEGAS, NV (01.16.11) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., the leader in aftermarket car electronics technology, at CES unveiled AppRadio™ 2,  its newest smartphone powered in-vehicle audio system.  Guided by its  “rethinking connectivity” philosophy and the experience gained from the development of the first AppRadio platform, Pioneer’s  new AppRadio 2 contains all the features of the original AppRadio, while expanding compatibility to now include many of the latest Android smartphones equipped with either the Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) or a micro HDMI connection¹.

Pioneer AppRadio 2 now includes menu buttons for Android powered phones.

This expansion means the AppRadio 2 supports both of the most popular smartphone platforms and provides a solution for integrating these devices safely and easily into the vehicle.  The AppRadio 2’s capacitive touchscreen is a larger 7-inch size, but like the original, enables control of supported functions using similar touch and motion gestures of the connected smartphone device.  For safety and convenience, AppRadio 2 features built-in Bluetooth for hands-free calling², an input for an optional vehicle-mounted rear facing back-up camera, an input for interfacing with the vehicle’s steering wheel controls³and two sets of pre-amp outputs for connection to external amplifiers.

Members of the press stream into the Pioneer press conference at the large Marco Pollo venue in the Venetian.

“Since the first generation AppRadio was introduced last year, consumers have been quick to recognize and embrace the power and potential of this product.  However many consumers requested compatibility and support for additional devices,” said Ted Cardenas, director of marketing for the car electronics division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.  “By expanding AppRadio 2’s compatibility, we are able to provide even more drivers a convenient and safer way to integrate their smartphone and their apps into their vehicles.  Additionally, this expansion will accelerate the growth of available AppRadio compatible apps, as many developers support both smartphone platforms as well.”

Pioneer's Ted Cardenas noted to the audience that in 6 short months Pioneer had developed a new product category in the 12 volt arena - AppRadio. At CES 2012 Pioneer introduced AppRadio 2.

Pioneer’s AppRadio 2 features a clean and simple aesthetic with minimal physical buttons, as the majority of the functions and controls are operated via the high resolution WVGA (800 x 480) 7-inch capacitive touchscreen.  This capacitive touch panel is used for all functions including the app interface, music control/playback, AM/FM radio, and Bluetooth hands-free calling features.

This is a screenshot of the AppRadio 2 interacting with an Android powered cell phone.

AppRadio 2 includes all of the built-in functions of the original AppRadio as well as smartphone integration through the use of the free Pioneer AppRadio application and compatible third-party apps.  The Pioneer AppRadio application enables access to the data and connectivity of the connected smartphone and compatible third-party apps.

Pioneer's long history for in car entertainment was chronicled during the press conference. Today it's music and information.

As with the original AppRadio, the AppRadio 2 features a built-in AM/FM tuner with RDS text information display (when available) and full control/playback of music stored on the connected smartphone device.  Safe, in-vehicle phone functionality is simple with built-in Bluetooth, enabling hands-free cellular phone operation using the car’s speakers and the included external microphone to turn the car into a rolling speakerphone.
Pioneer’s AppRadio 2 will be available in April with a suggested retail price of $499.  The original AppRadio model will also continue to be available at a suggested retail price of $399.
Pioneer’s Car Electronics Division is known for offering the kind of in-car products that make driving more enjoyable by offering high quality audio and video, seamless connectivity and ease-of-use.  Its focus is on the development of new digital technologies including audio video, navigation and emerging media, while maintaining its strong heritage in products for car audio enthusiasts and sound competitors.
