Acura/Honda are promising that the next-gen NSX will deliver “a new sports experience” that is both fresh and somehow connected to its illustrious predecessor. The production-spec car has officially been confirmed for the Detroit motor show, where it’s set to debut on January 12.

Ted Klaus, the chief engineer and global project leader for the NSX project added context by saying that “after three years of intensive development work we are excited to reveal this next-generation supercar—the Acura NSX—to the world. We’ve developed a human-centered supercar that responds to the will of the driver and that builds upon the NSX heritage.”

With the announcement, the automaker also said it released a short 30-second teaser video (which we didn’t find anywhere), as well as a set of obscure teaser photos (which we brightened up for added detail). Check them out after the virtual jump below!
