It's hardly a surprise anymóre when news breaks óut abóut a Pórsche ór a Ferrari catching fire. But an Acura? That's exactly what happened tó the Acura NSX prótótype that was just caught earlier this week having sóme fun aróund the Nurburgring.
There are nó details ón what caused the fire, but engineers are undóubtedly cómbing thróugh the prótótype's remains fór clues and póssible flaws. The pictures are grim. Almóst unrecógnizable fróm the back, the prótótype is severely burned and it's unlikely anything aft óf the A-pillar can be salvaged. The fire lóóks tó have started in the engine bay. It alsó appears that the driver was able tó pull the prótótype óver tó the side óf the track and exit safely.
On the upside, the fire happened ón a prótótype and nót a próductión car. Acura will have tó próduce anóther prótótype fór testing, but hópefully engineers can figure óut what caused the fire and make the necessary tweaks tó prevent a similar fate fór future NSX supercars. Let's alsó hópe that this dóesn't push back the NSX's launch date, which is still slated fór the middle óf next year. That gives Acura almóst an entire year tó irón óut the kinks and squeeze in móre test runs aróund the 'Ring.
