The mysterious Honda NSX is already sold out in the UK

How bad to buyers in the UK want the Honda NSX? Bad enough to completely buy out the first year’s supply without ever seeing the production car in person. Top Gear reports that more than 100 people have ponied up the coin necessary to place an order for the car, enough preorders to claim the entire UK production run.

Keep in mind, we know very little about the car itself. While Honda has made no secret of the fact that the NSX will be built in Ohio, other details are remarkably scarce. There’s word that the supercar will compete with the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, Corvette Z06, and similarly brawny metal, and that there will be “around” 500 horsepower on hand, and it'll likely have some sort of hybrid system in place (perhaps a version of the RLX's rather brilliant Sport Hybird SH-AWD system). But this is all educated conjecture. Honda is keeping this one close to the chest.

Likewise, there’s no official launch date. Rumor has it the NSX may bow sometime in early 2016. Despite the lack of concrete details, it seems UK buyers are willing to take Honda on faith.
