Acura NSX Concept Gets Painted Proper Sports-Car Red [Beijing Auto Show]
When it debuted in January at the Detroit auto show, the Acura NSX concept wore techy silver paint, and that didn’t change when the car made an appearance in Geneva wearing Honda logos. At the Beijing show, the car reverted to its luxury-brand badge—and showed up in a racy shade of red.
A sports car usually looks best in red, and we definitely dig the hue on the NSX. Like the concept, the 2015 production model will feature a mid-mounted V-6 bolted to a dual-clutch automatic transmission that integrates an electric motor and drives the rear wheels. Two front-mounted electric motors will spin the front wheels, providing what Acura has dubbed Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. (Read more about how it works here in front-drive applications; the idea is simply applied in reverse for the NSX.) The car is being developed in the States and will be built in Ohio.

Tips for Racing in Warm Weather
April can be a tricky time to race a marathon because, although the dates of marathons are usually chosen to coincide with cool temperatures, you may have the unfortunate luck of getting an extremely hot and humid race day. Running during those conditions in April is even more difficult than doing it in July or August because, after training in the cold all winter, most runners are not prepared to run in the heat and humidity.
