Honda has trademarked the name ‘ZSX’ fuelling more rumours. There have been reports time and again that Honda is working on a smaller sportscar. The ZSX, hence, may be the middle-weight sportscar from the Japanese manufacturer – a baby NSX.
An unnamed source within Honda has claimed that the ZSX is almost ready and might be revealed as early as 2017 according to Performance Drive. It might also be offered as a coupe as well as a convertible hardtop. Said to be powered by the same 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine from the Civic Type R, it will deliver more than 300bhp of power and 400Nm of torque.
Also, Honda has not yet replaced the much loved S200 since it went out of production in 2009. While this might be its ideal replacement in essence, the ZSX might also get a hybrid all-wheel-drive powertrain with electric motors running in tandem with the internal combustion engine.
