Honda is the last company which will use another one's engine. And there is not any honda fun who will buy a Honda with another brand's engine.vorticism wrote: ↑06 Sep 2022, 15:44A Porsche Honda deal would not be infeasible. The NSX is a low production niche vehicle that is not essential to Honda operations. Honda do not make a compact luxury SUV like the Macan. A partnership would be unusual but it would not cannibalize sales since they have little to no market overlap. The only issue would potentially be a marketing or brand confusion. Enthusiasts are fond of both companies and only a fraction would take issue with a potential road car collaboration--while most would enjoy the prospect. A base model 911 with a Honda I4 engine would sell like hotcakes. A mid engine Civic or Fit with a Porsche flat six, the same.
I dont see why they wouldnt introduce it at any point remaining in the season. If they have a extra handful of races to see how it reacts etc then its advantage at the start of the '23 season.PierreW wrote: ↑06 Sep 2022, 18:20Is the heavily rumored lightweight chassis still schedulded to be introduced this season or is this postponed following Max and Red Bull advantages in both championship? There are still two windows where it could theorically be introduced, in Singapore or in the United States.
NSX is already discontinued. Honda does have the Acura brand in two of the largest markets North America and China, and do have the RDX and MDX, with the revived ZDX coming out in the next few years. But in general a Honda Porsche partnership doesn't really seem feasible, that is unless Porsche is on the car similar to how Aston Martin was.
In the past yes, but Honda is starting to do more and more collaborations. For example may of their new EVs will be built in collaboration with GM. They have also worked on transmissions with other OEMs I believe, although not engines. Not that this has anything to do with RBR, who have had a hard enough time getting one manufacturer on board, let alone two at once.etusch wrote: ↑06 Sep 2022, 18:35Honda is the last company which will use another one's engine.

There can be another manufacturer which build their car better than honda but. when it comes to engine and transmission it is hardly possible
Their GM collaboration will be a limited one as part of a technology sharing agreement for the North American market. GM can use Honda's hydrogen fuel-cell technology for development of freight and transport class heavy vehicles while GM's ultium battery platform will be used to power the EVs. Honda also has battery partnerships or joint-ventures with CATL, Hanwa, LG, and Yuasa. The electric motors will be developed by Honda and their JV with Sony will seem them building and developing cars for Asian/European markets. It's not impossible for Honda to have a technology sharing agreement with Porsche, but I really don't see that happening with passenger cars.continuum16 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2022, 16:59In the past yes, but Honda is starting to do more and more collaborations.

True. I only suggest some special edition models, regardless; like a 912 revival with parts overnighted from Japan or a Clio V6 like mid engine hatch. Civic Turbo S, hah. The situation would be a fluke and a special edition model might be a way to poke fun at themselves while working with RB. Why didn't Aston Martin do this? They could have had another Cygnet on their hands... Or a Ridgeline with a V12 in the bed. As a luxurified GT or a circuit racer though...ispano6 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2022, 16:46NSX is already discontinued.
