If you're excited about Acura's return to the NSX game, you're going to love this: the first video and sound clips of the new hybrid sports car on track. The tiny clip comes to us in Vine's increasingly familiar short form (UPDATE: there's a different video from Instagram now, too), but despite the brevity, there's a lot of value to the micro-video. Just be sure to un-mute it for the full effect. For our full run-down on what to expect, visit our Acura NSX hub page. //
