The Honda NSX (New Sportscar eXperimental), marketed in North America and Hong Kong as the Acura NSX, is a 2-seater, mid-engine sports car.
Description[]
- Text originally from the Honda NSX's Wikipedia page.
The origins of the NSX trace back to 1984, with the HP-X (Honda Pininfarina eXperimental) concept, which was a mid-engined 3.0 L sports car. Honda committed to the project, with the intention of meeting or exceeding the performance of the then Ferrari range, while offering reliability and a lower price point. The concept thus evolved and had its name changed to NS-X, which stood for "New", "Sportscar" "eXperimental", although the production model was launched as the NSX.
The NSX was designed by a team led by Chief Designer, Masahito Nakano, and Executive Chief Engineer, Shigeru Uehara. It benefitted from advanced aerodynamics and styling inspired by a F-16 fighter jet cockpit and input from the late Formula One World Champion, Ayrton Senna, during the final development stages.
This NSX became the world's first mass-produced car to feature an all-aluminium body. It was powered by an all-aluminium 3.0 L V6 engine, which featured Honda's VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system developed in the 1980s, a 5-speed manual transmission or the SportShift 4-speed automatic transmission, which allows the option of conventional automatic shifting or manually shifting with a fingertip control shift lever on the steering column.
It was presented at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show and was built in a purpose-made factory in Tochigi, Japan, for sale from 1990. It was originally available as a coupé and, from 1995, a targa top. It underwent a performance upgrade in 1997, which saw the arrival of a larger 3.2 L V6 engine, and a facelift in 2002 before being discontinued in 2005.
Concepts of the second generation of the NSX were first shown in 2012 with the final production model being launched in 2015.
