Particulars as but are few and much between, so let’s not get forward of ourselves an excessive amount of. A challenge funded by Honda/Acura, bearing the title of its product line, is nearly assured to be a rolling commercial for no matter merchandise want pushing. However that’s to not say it’s destined to be an uninspired spiel of product placement. When finished proper, a manufacturer-sponsored net sequence might be pleasant — look no additional than BMW’s “The Rent” sequence starring Clive Owen.

The trailer is over as quick because it begins, however not earlier than we see a PIT maneuver carried out on the NSX and a really Preliminary D-inspired shot of the hybrid motor and cylinders firing into motion.

We received’t have lengthy to attend to see the way it seems, because the sequence will start streaming on January 20, 2022.
