According to a recent report from *[Autocar]()*, part of that massive electric offensive will be a flagship sports car, which will apparently come in the form of a battery-powered [Honda NSX](). There will actually be a pair of electric sports cars to come from Honda within the next decade, though Honda doesn't exactly say what they'll be. However, it did say that one of the two sports cars will be a "flagship" model. "While taking on challenges toward carbon neutrality and electrification, Honda always has a passion to offer FUN for its customers," said Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe in a statement last month. "The 'joy of driving' will be passed on to our models even in the era of electrification, and Honda will globally introduce two sports models, a specialty and a flagship model, which will embody Honda's universal sports mindset and distinctive characteristics." ![]() Honda also put out a photo of a roadmap of sorts, showing shadowy silhouettes of EVs that will be coming by 2030. One of which looks suspiciously like a Honda NSX and falls into the brand's "High value-added EVs" category. This news also comes after Acura Vice President and Brand Officer Jon Ikeda told *[The Drive]()* this, about a potential electric NSX at Monterey Car Week: "If you notice, we make an NSX when there's something we want to say. The first-gen was gas. Second-gen was a hybrid. There's gonna be another one." Honda is also working on two new electric crossovers, in collaboration with General Motors, for North America. One will be called the Honda Prologue and the other's name is unknown, though it's said to be an Acura. Honda already has a partnership to source Ultium batteries from GM for its electrified vehicles, so this partnership isn't much of a surprise. To be honest, none of this should come as a surprise. The current Honda/Acura NSX is already a hybrid and with the auto industry's trend toward EVs, an electric NSX seems like a natural evolution. Obviously, there's no info on powertrain or specs for such a car, as it hasn't even officially been announced yet. But the current NSX makes 600 horsepower, so you can expect quite a big bump from there. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
