Acura's next NSX was revealed in concept form at least year's Detroit Auto Show, and since then, it's been making the auto show rounds (and popping up on the Super Bowl broadcast and in The Avengers, but that's neither here nor there) as Honda tries to keep excitement stoked about their hybrid super sports car that's still a few years away. So for the new NSX Concept's one-year anniversary, they showed off its interior.

Well, to be honest, they showed off a new version of the Acura NSX Concept, this time complete with an interior that Honda describes as a "one possible direction" for the production NSX's interior. Based on the images we see of it here, we're guessing the average NSX buyer would be plenty happy with this Ferrari-esque interior. We certainly would be. Acura says it's based around the theme of a "Human Support Cockpit" with a "Simple Sports Interface," which sounds like a lot of buzzwords for "a well-designed interior."

the Acura NSX Concept II also offers a more production-ready version of the car's styling; if it looks pretty much just like the first concept to you, well, consider that a sign that the new NSX's looks shouldn't change much between concept and production. As it's based on a prototype version of the actual NSX chassis, the proportions and details alike should translate pretty easily from the car you see here to the road. As long as the performance of the hybrid-V6-Super-Handling AWD super sports car lives up to the looks, we'll be happy. [via Acura]

It sounds like a fairy tale: little old lady buys a sports car, but never gets around to driving it all that much due to her failing health. She takes meticulous care of it, however, so when the time comes to trade it in on something more reliable, she hands the dealership a picture-perfect garage queen.

Acura's NSX concept car has been the hit of most auto shows it's shown up at, but it's starting to get a little stale. We in the media have all seen it by now—which means we're not talking about it. So for the Beijing Motor Show, Acura did the simplest thing they could to get us paying attention again: They repainted the NSX.
