Honda's luxury arm Acura has revealed the 2020 NSX supercar for Monterey Car Week, debuting a new Indy Yellow Pearl which the company says is a "modern interpretation of sought-after Spa Yellow" offered on the 1997-2003 NSX. "Spa Yellow, known as "Indy Yellow" in some markets, was applied to around 20-percent of NSXs produced between 1997 and 2003," the company says in its press release.

The New York motor show isn't until March next year, but debuts and reveals have been confirmed by at least eight manufacturers ahead of the event. Some of these unveilings will come from Acura, Genesis, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, all premium brands that will no doubt want to showcase important models at the New York show – but what will they be presenting exactly?

Acura, luxury arm for Honda, has unveiled its new RDX SUV in New York, carrying a new turbocharged powertrain and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. Gone is the naturally-aspirated V6 from the old RDX, replaced with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine making 272hp (203kW) and 380Nm. It's paired with a 1o-speed automatic transmission, with closely-spaced ratios down low and taller top ratios for punchy acceleration off the line, and parsimonious performance on the highway.
