got the car enthusiast’s within Happy Finish's team, mouths salivating. Created to coincide with the first unveiling of the NSX
Accra concept car at Detroit’s 2012 car show last month, this new beast of a car from the Japanese brand is causing a stir
to the automotive industry and car lovers worldwide.

“The client supplied CAD data for us to model from but we had to make sure we could match their specific lighting
requirements as the metallic paint on the vehicle changed from a light to dark silver dependant on the lighting conditions.”
noted Simon. "This was achieved by a combination of CGI lighting and colour treatment in the retouching stages" adds
Christopher, "with this we were able to maintain the classic hard look the Honda Accura has been renowned for." he goes
on to further explain.

However if you are looking to add one to your collection it might be a little while yet as the final car will not be hitting
the streets for another few years!
