1987 Nissan MID-4 Type II = HONDA nsx?

Looking though carfolio, i stumbed upon this;
http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/...
the
Nissan MID-4 Type II
concept car.

Surely this nissan concept, was the birth of the Honda NSX?!






I know next to nothing on the subject - and have done very little research - but i was intrigued never the less.

-Also seams to have a very good power output for a 3l v6 for that year. ( I know that much easier to achive as a concept car that isent built to do very many miles )

it definately looks like the building blocks of an nsx.

Eh?

Turbocharged engine, fatter rubber on the front than the back, 4wd.

It's like a GTR with the engine in the middle.
