Honda NSX.
The power unit is a longitudinally-mounted twin-turbo V6, mounted low in the chassis to keep the centre of gravity as close to the floor as possible. Accompanying this traditional engine are electric motors; the V6 works with a direct-drive electric motor through a nine-speed dual clutch transmission to power the rear wheels. Twin electric motors on the front axle power the front wheels to provide extra kick, with the instant torque providing ‘zero delay acceleration.’ All together, that results in more than 550bhp, tamed by the catchily-titled Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system.
Prices will start in the mid-$150,000 range.

Ford GT.
A twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6 engine drives the rear wheels with ‘more than' 600bhp, and with motorsport development behind it, Ford is claiming great efficiency.
You have to admit, it looks brilliant. It'll land at some point in 2016, by which time the new turbo 458 and 911 GT3 RS will be here, as well as the new Honda NSX and McLaren Sports Series. What a group test that would be...
Price-wise, it could compete with the $155,000 Acura NSX which was also unveiled at the show.

Which one would you pick?
