Honda NSX to appear at 2015 Australian F1 GP

Following the world debut of the production version of the NSX at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) last week, Honda Australia Director, Stephen Collins said Honda is thrilled to be bringing the NSX Concept to Albert Park this March 12 - 15 for Australia's premier motorsport event.

"This is a new era for Honda in more ways than one," Collins said. "The NSX is the rebirth of an icon and represents power, sportiness and efficiency. The NSX Concept will be the star attraction of Honda's on-circuit display at Albert Park. There will be many fans of the original supercar who we know will enjoy this exclusive preview."

Honda Australia will have a strong presence at the track and is looking forward to working with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation to add even more spectacle to the event.

"2015 is a big year for the Honda brand, both here and internationally. This year heralds our return to Formula 1 in partnership with McLaren and the first race of the season is the perfect opportunity to showcase Honda's exciting new products," Mr. Collins said.

In the US, orders for the NSX can be placed from mid-2015, with customers receiving their vehicles by the end of the year. Australian deliveries are expected early next year, according to Collins.

"We hope to start taking local pre-orders for the NSX in mid-2015, with deliveries to customers from 2016," Collins said.
