Summary

  • The Honda NSX was Honda's first sports car and got developed with a desire to beat Ferrari, while offering more reliability, practicality, and user-friendliness.
  • Extensive testing, including shakedowns on the Nürburgring, led to a 50% increase in rigidity for the NSX's all-aluminum body shell.
  • The NSX featured a 3-liter, naturally aspirated V6 engine with VTEC technology, allowing for a 0-60 mph time of as low as 4.7 seconds. Its speed and aerodynamic styling gave it a supercar-like appearance and performance.
