Honda NSX Concept headed for 2015 Australian Grand Prix

Australian F1 fans will be treated to a preview of the Honda NSX production model at the first race of the 2015 F1 season in Melbourne. To celebrate Honda’s return to Formula 1 and support of the 2015 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix from March 12 to 15, Honda will hold the first local public display of the NSX Concept.

Following the world debut of the production version of the Honda NSX (pictured below) at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Honda Australia Director, Mr. Stephen Collins said Honda is thrilled to be bringing the NSX Concept to Albert Park for Australia’s premier motorsport event.

“This is a new era for Honda in more ways than one,” Mr. Collins said. “The NSX is the rebirth of an icon and represents power, sportiness and efficiency. The NSX Concept will be the star attraction of Honda’s on-circuit display at Albert Park. There will be many fans of the original supercar who we know will enjoy this exclusive preview.”

Honda Australia will have a strong presence at the track and is looking forward to working with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation to add even more spectacle to the event.

“2015 is a big year for the Honda brand, both here and internationally. This year heralds our return to Formula 1 in partnership with McLaren and the first race of the season is the perfect opportunity to showcase Honda’s exciting new products,” Mr. Collins said.

In the U.S, orders for the NSX can be placed from mid-2015, with customers receiving their vehicles by the end of the year. “We hope to start taking local pre-orders for the NSX in mid-2015, with deliveries to customers from 2016,” Mr. Collins said.
