Honda is trying to keep its upcoming NSX supercar in the spotlight, despite the fact that we have to wait about two years until the final version of the car hits the streets.

If that’s too much to wait for the most exciting Honda/Acura since, well, the previous NSX, you can pass the time by driving the NSX Concept in the Gran Turismo 6 video game.

Yes, the latest iteration of the Acura NSX concept will be available in Gran Turismo 6, which releases worldwide today, together with its sophisticated Sport Hybrid SH-AWD powertrain featuring a twin-turbocharged V6 engine and three electric motors.

Honda says this is basically the first opportunity to get behind the wheel of the next generation Acura NSX Concept – unless you can get your hands on the actual concept car, that is.

“The wait is over for NSX fans eager to get behind the wheel of the next Acura supercar, and they can rest assured the actual production car will be even more amazing than the in-game concept version,” promised Mike Accavitti, senior vice president of Auto Operations at American Honda.

We hope the people at Honda will keep their word, as the NSX is one the most highly anticipated supercars. The next generation model will be produced in Honda’s new plant in Marysville, Ohio, starting in 2015, with sales to begin later that year.
