hehe, looks almost like an Rx8 from that angle!!!
Speaking of which....I saw the "next" s2000....ugly, and another weak engine. The current car is great but for the underwhelming engine. All they need to do is make it just a smidge bigger, change the engine to a turbo V-6, and call it the S-6000 turbo and make it a direct competitor to the 350z.

Long wheel base S2000? 
Any word from spotters if this makes the high pitched sounds of an electric motor?

I suppose it's certainly possible that this is the next NSX with another MR layout...however, one would expect some extra cooling ductwork to feed a rear-mid-mounted engine, not just an extended cabin....

^^ no this really is the NSX
some info from LeftLaneNews.com
After an arduous day of preparation, Honda engineers have finally hit the race track in their mule for the next NSX. Seeing this prototype in the light of day reveals proportions consistent with Acura's Advanced Sports Car Concept, which debuted at the '07 North American International Auto show.
The S2000-based body panels used on this mule don't exactly correspond to the show car, but it may tell us of the direction Acura is traveling with the next NSX.
First of all, the stacked exhaust set-up on this mule looks similar to the placement on the concept. The mule's large central air-intake at the front suggests that the production NSX may veer away from the styling of the concept, which had a smoother nose with air-intakes mounted wide on the front bumper. Given the lukewarm reception given to the most recent NSX concept, the design transition from concept to production was expected to involve marked styling changes.
The expansive hood on this mule definitely looks large enough to handle a V-8 or V-10 engine.
