Blijkbaar zijn wij niet de enigen die vinden dat de nieuwe NSX lang op zich laat wachten. Sniff Petrol, 's werelds meest sarcastische autowebsite, neemt het gehele productieproces ervan in de maling op een hilarische manier. ‘We’ll do what we did last time. Get it cobbled together and then let Ayrton Senna sort it out… He’s what? Oh God, when?’
Kom je ooit terecht op sniffpetrol.com - en we raden het je stiekem aan - neem dan geen letter voor waarheid aan. Zelfs de advertenties op de site hebben ze zelf verzonnen. Het zorgt alvast voor heerlijk ludieke artikels waarin ze steevast pretenderen een betrouwbare bron te hebben. Dit artikel over de NSX is niet anders. Zet alvast je Engelstalig hoedje maar op, want het is te grappig om te vertalen:
Days after spy pictures appeared showing the new Honda NSX apparently lapping the Nurburgring, sources within the company admit that the new car is nowhere near ready. According to our insider, the NSX’s problems began when the team was moved to California in order to benchmark rival products.
‘This has been a super optimized fun project to work on,’ enthused one member of the engineering team. ‘We all rented a house in LA and then took a bunch of Porsche 911s and benchmarked them to Vegas where we also benchmarked some casinos and some cocktails and the head of stability control systems later benchmarked his bathroom with some sick. We also benchmarked the Dodge Viper to Malibu to benchmark some surfing and the Lexus LFA to the Nappa Valley where we benchmarked some wine and one time, I benchmarked an Audi R8 all the way to Reno and then benchmarked some hookers and one of them actually benchmarked me while I was driving. But anyway, to answer your question, no. We haven’t done our homework.’
Moving the team to Germany doesn’t seem to have helped matters, according to our insider. ‘I’ve already benchmarked several steins of strong beer and a plate of currywurst,’ he explained. ‘But we’ve also sent a prototype out onto the ‘Ring to be photographed by spies, just in case management start asking questions. Between you and me, it’s basically just MDF and No More Nails with a scooter engine in the middle.’
However, our man seemed relaxed about the seven years his team has spent benchmarking instead of developing a new NSX. ‘Look it’s fine,’ he insisted. ‘We’ll do what we did last time. Get it cobbled together and then let Ayrton Senna sort it out… He’s what? Oh God, when?’
