For those of you who aren't familiar with the NSX, Honda Motor Co. is building a supercar with 3 electric motors and a twin-turbo V6. It's supposed to go on sale sometime next year under the Acura brand. The performance is said to be mindblowing and far above the BMW i8. While undergoing testing at the Nurburgring track in Germany, the advanced prototype caught on f*re and was destroyed. Fortunately, no one was injured.

The cause of the incident is still under investigation. Hobbyists speculate that extreme heat from the turbochargers and/or a leaking fuel line could be the cause.
My stomach lurches to see the engineering legacy of Soichiro Honda smoldering on the side of the track:crying:
