Filed under: Concept Cars , Detroit Auto Show , Coupe , Hybrid , Performance , Videos , Acura , Toys/Games , Luxury The Acura NSX Concept was only just unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show and here it’s already in a Gran Turismo 5 video. The newest take on an ecological supercar features Honda’s recently pointy concept-design language, as well as a V6 amidships getting help from three hybrid motors and Acura’s SH-AWD. The real thing has been promised three years hence, but if this stab at it does get to production, we have no doubt we’ll be seeing a lot more of it before then. The next phase in the NSX-fest begins after the jump , with two minutes of the supercoupe on an angry run through GT5 vistas

Filed under: Motorsports , Coupe , Performance , Nissan , Middle East , Racing Nissan is headed to the Dubai 24 Hours with a specially prepared 370Z . While the 410-horsepower Z is an impressive piece of hardware, we’re more interested in who’s behind the wheel. This year, Nissan will take to the track with a full team of racers who have graduated from the company’s GT Academy . The four-man team is made up of individuals who got their start on the virtual tracks of the Gran Turismo video game franchise before beating out the competition for a spot on track.

Filed under: Coupe , Videos , Toyota Toyota is an auto sales juggernaut, but when it comes to sports cars, the Japanese automaker tends to come up exceptionally short. That should change with the introduction of the Toyota GT 86 in Europe and Scion FR-S in North America, both of which promise rear-drive fun and a reasonable price tag. So far we’ve seen the 86 in person and we’ve snapped plenty of pics , but we haven’t had the chance to hear the 2.0-liter boxer engine rev. That changes all changes thanks to a three-minute video that is big on CGI and funky techno music

2012 BMW 5-Series The big news for the 5-series this fall is that the base engine has been replaced with a turbo I-4. Redesigned for 2011, the 5-series sedan got a handsome new suit of sheetmetal and some new mechanicals underneath. Fuel economy improves this year, as the 528i and the 535i gain auto stop-start, which can shut down the engine when idling at a stop. The 528i drops its straight-six engine for a 2.0-liter turbo four
