I don't have a picture as my phone was in my pocket but I swear a saw a prototype NSX pass me last Friday going the opposite way right by Sonoma Raceway (Infinian).

It looked exactly like this:

Poll: which will launch first, the new NSX or the Tesla Model 3?

Those events are embargoed... You won't hear about it until the paper magazines publish...

I did a quick google of NSX at infineon and found 3 instagram posts from the last 24 hours with info that there were 2 onsite for some event.

I can't imagine Acura loves the fact that the guy they hired to detail them is posting online about it.

Edit: Looks like the NSXPO (don't know what PO stand for, but some kind of owners gathering) was in Palm Springs celebrating 25 yrs over the weekend. Acura had at least one new NSX there and a couple more at Infineon.

I have no idea why I care about this, but the google investigation was kind of fun.

I KNEW I was not crazy. It drove right past me and I almost got whiplash trying to get a good look.

Thanks Josh!

NSXPO ----> NSX Expo

It's a mash-up of two terms.

I'm not 100% certain on that but it sounds right to my mental ear.
