Actually, it is.

First, Honda unveiled this in Tokyo in late 2001 as the Honda Dualnote, then they painted the upper portion of the car red, rebadged it as an Acura, and brought it to New York in spring 2002 as DN-X.

The biggest giveaway that they're the same is the name, they took the Dualnote name, and turned it into something that fit the Acura nomenclature at the time.

The DN in DN-X literally means Dualnote, while the X at the end fit in with some of the other Acura models at the time (RSX, NSX, and the RD-X concept shown earlier in January in Detroit).

Ahaaa ???

Same car as Acura? What in the world? Why in the game twice?

This was never an Acura , it was a hybrid concept car by Honda in the early 2000s
