Earlier today, a set of monochromatic renderings of the Acura / Honda NSX were posted on China’s Sohu website and were quickly picked up by other sites such as Carnewschina and Jalopnik, with all claiming more or less that these pictures are of the 2015 production model and that they were leaked “from China’s patent office”.

Well, we can assure you that this is not the case – period. To begin with, the pictures were originally released on the European patent agency on February 22, 2012, a little over a month after the concept was displayed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show.

But even if we didn’t know that, a quick look at the patent drawings and the pictures of the actual concept, proves that the two cars are one and the same.

Whether or not the production version will stay very close to the concept or if Honda will make some more extensive changes, is something that we will just have to wait and see.
