What is the NSX?
2 Answers
NSX is a hybrid supercar under the Acura brand and also a product of Honda. The NSX is a 2-door, 2-seater hardtop sports car. The interior of the Honda NSX reflects the consistent "user-friendly" characteristics of Japanese cars, combined with Honda engineers' design emphasis on providing a spacious visual environment for occupants. As a result, the NSX is considered one of the more ergonomic supercars with clear visibility. The vehicle measures 4490mm in length, 1940mm in width, and 1215mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm, and is equipped with a 9-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I still remember when I first entered the industry, the NSX was practically a legend among car enthusiasts. It was Honda's first mid-engine supercar launched in 1990, with an all-aluminum body as light as paper, a V6 engine paired with VTEC technology—the exhaust note at redline could give you goosebumps. Back then, it directly challenged the Ferrari 348 but cost a third less. Fans were heartbroken when production ended in 2005, until Honda brought it back in 2016 with a hybrid version—a 3.5T V6 plus three electric motors, with an AWD system delivering 581 horsepower and 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 3 seconds. As for the classic models, well-preserved ones in the used car market can now fetch up to $200,000, because it represents the pinnacle of Japanese industrial aesthetics.
