We noticed similar images popping up in the pages of Japanese car magazine Holiday Auto (which you can see over at 7Tune), but we'd dismissed those as just being speculative renderings commissioned by that publication. However, Auto Express' use of those images has now thrown that theory into doubt and it now seems likely that these pictures are instead official Honda press photos of the real deal.
So, what do we make of it? For starters, it looks like Honda got the styling of the rear end spot-on, with the combination of that full-width light cluster and those rectangular quad tailpipes imparting a very futuristic look to the NSX's tail. It's a different story on the front though, with the NSX sporting a rather narrow-eyed appearance thanks to those oddly shaped headlights. The thin slashes in the NSX's grille also look a tad out of place and appear to be a concession to engine cooling rather than a harmonious design element.
