The Acura NSX: A Precision Crafted Performance Vehicle

As we step into the sleek and sophisticated design of the Acura NSX, it's hard not to feel a sense of nostalgia wash over us. This supercar has been around for decades, with its roots dating back to 1986 when it first hit the market. And yet, despite being in production for over three decades, the NSX remains a true icon in the world of high-performance vehicles.

One of the things that sets the NSX apart from other cars is its reputation as a "gas guzzler." However, this perception couldn't be further from the truth. The NSX has consistently delivered impressive fuel efficiency, with estimates suggesting that it can achieve up to 20 City and 22 Highway miles per gallon. This is no small feat, especially considering the NSX's powerful engine and sleek design.

As a Performance Brand, Acura has always been about precision crafted performance, and the NSX is the embodiment of this philosophy. The company's mantra is simple yet effective: "Precision crafted performance at Acura." And it's exactly this promise that has made the NSX such an enduring success story.

The NSX's design cues are unmistakable, with its hunchback profile and angular lines instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever seen a picture of the car. But what really sets the NSX apart is its attention to detail. From the subtle curves of the dashboard to the precision-tuned suspension, every aspect of the car has been carefully designed to provide an unparalleled driving experience.

For those lucky enough to own or have driven an original NSX, the new version offers a fascinating opportunity to experience the same level of performance and sophistication that made the first-generation model so legendary. And while it's impossible to replicate the exact same feeling as owning an original, there's no denying the sense of heritage and tradition that comes with driving a car that has been reimagined for the modern era.

The NSX's design team has managed to strike a perfect balance between classic elegance and modern performance. The result is a car that looks both timeless and cutting-edge at the same time. And as someone who's owned an Acura Integra 99, I can attest to the fact that there's something special about driving a car that feels like home.

The NSX's engineering and manufacturing story is a fascinating one, particularly when it comes to its three-dimensionally quenched and bent steel pillars. This innovative design feature allows for incredibly thin yet incredibly strong pillars, which provide exceptional protection for the driver without compromising on style or performance.

One of the most distinctive features of the original NSX is its iconic design cues, including the hunchback profile, inner coolers, and intakes. These design elements have been carried over into the new version with minimal tweaks, ensuring that the car remains true to its heritage. And while some might say that the modern NSX doesn't quite live up to the classic design of its predecessor, I'd argue that it's a bold move to update such an iconic design for the modern era.

The NSX's color palette is another area where attention has been paid to preserve the original's timeless aesthetic. The new car features a range of colors, including Heritage Black, which was one of the original NSX's most popular colors back in 1986. And as someone who's looked at restored and salvaged NSX models, I can attest to the fact that this color has retained its appeal even after all these years.

But what really sets the NSX apart is its place in history. When it was first introduced in 1986, the NSX was a game-changer in the world of sports cars. It revolutionized the concept of high-performance driving and paved the way for some of the most iconic supercars of all time. And as we look back on its legacy, it's clear that the NSX is more than just a car – it's an experience.

The NSX has become synonymous with precision crafted performance, and it's easy to see why. From its sleek design to its cutting-edge engineering, every aspect of this car has been carefully designed to provide an unparalleled driving experience. And as we celebrate the NSX's rich heritage, we're reminded that, at its core, this car is all about passion – for driving, for performance, and for the art of precision crafted design.

Ellie, a long-time fan of the Acura brand, was thrilled to get behind the wheel of the new NSX. "I've only heard great things about people who have driven those older ones," she said. "They just seem like amazing cars that changed the game when they were introduced to the market in 1986." As she took her first spin in the NSX, it was clear that this car had won her over – and fans of the brand around the world.

In conclusion, the Acura NSX is more than just a car – it's an experience. With its precision crafted performance, sleek design, and rich heritage, the NSX embodies everything that Acura stands for: passion, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. As we look to the future, one thing is clear – the NSX will continue to be an icon in the world of sports cars, inspiring generations of driving enthusiasts and car enthusiasts alike.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso turn on the vehicle okay there so yeah there is there are four modes okay here um in the Acura NSX um we have our integrated Dynamic um system the IDS um which we're familiar with with Acuras with the rotary dial here um we just started in sport mode there is quiet sport Sport Plus and track okay so um it's default to start in in sport if you like we can program it to to start in quiet mode um if you didn't want to be that guy at 5: in the morning what want to be that guy you can totally be that guy too so you have options which is lovely um so the IDS affects 11 aspects of the vehicle anywhere from the um the shift mapping steering certainly sound is a big deal um throttle response uh brake pedal um suspension you know a whole bunch of stuff so actually if we look at the TFT meter in the middle I'm going to take you back to quiet this kind of just shows you a little illustration and you can kind of hear there and then if we hold to the right 3 seconds we get into track mode we won't unfortunately be doing that today danger I know fun though no sliding huh okay so we'll start in uh we'll start in quiet mode all right and we can uh with our 9 DCT just you can select drive when you're ready to go okay 9speed dual clutch transmission yes and you were saying that that's unique this is the only yep it's spoke made specifically for NSX so we do enjoy um nine dcts in other vehicles in the Acura lineup but the N9 DCT what's great about this is that you've got first Gears launch mode ninth is cruising all the other ones in between are close R close ratio and um all of the gears are parallel next to each other so it's nice and compact you're also able to shift really quickly super fast shifts 90 C so you've got 1 through five on one and 2 through eight on another yeah you got it so um so as we kind of talked a little bit this morning um we've got a 3.5 L um uh twin turbo uh V6 yep 7 75° bank so we're keeping the mass nice and low in the center okay I was going to ask why why 75 versus 60 it keeps it keeps it low so that's a slightly wider profile you got it okay um that has a a direct drive motor so the first of three electric motors which we'll talk about um is applied on the CR shaft that sends uh energy directly to the DCT um then we in the front here we've got what we call the twin motor unit so that those are engines two and or Motors two and three see Nick's got me talking engines now yeah no no worries um and uh you probably know better than anybody that we've been at this torque vectoring game for about 25 years now yep yep you guys have it it's awesome the the torque vectoring in the was it the MDX also has it front and rear yeah it's really cool how that car feels um and I'm sure this just you know takes it to a whole another level so I'm going to switch us up in the sport I don't it's hard it's this such such a short Loop but you can kind of hear different things and hopefully feel different things as well um I think for the freeway plus as far as spirited driving or winding roads that's knowing that we do have a good off on ramp um we'll try that while being safe of course of course we've got traction control on it's all good um but uh we were talking about oh so the you were talking about the super handling all wheeel drive system in the MDX so that's a lovely system we are splitting torque to send it to the left and right right right that's different cuz it's a differential rather than electric motors right generating torque directly and independently you know managing the left and right so how much power is on the front axle and how much is on the rear axle yep I um have that for you here there's a lot of numbers so never can no that's directly but um so just to kind of break it down with the V6 that generates 500 horsepower um at 7500 RPM Max torque is 406 so you're getting a a lot from that engine just the engine is 500 yes oh my um total is 573 horsepower and 47 we're going to switch to Sport Plus at this point we'll wait till this straightens out a little bit and then feel what that's like yes those ships are amazing too super smooth and super fast that is awesome wow okay so we got we got lost little of numbers it was 500 for the engine and then and then what does the electric motors what are those sorry um well just to go through it specifically so the tmu each one on uh delivers 36 horses okay um at 4,000 RPM and then 54 foot lbs of T each oh nice down shifts yeah we're definitely getting a lot more traffic now now that we're in the afternoon so okay so 36 for each motor up front yep and then the electric motor in the rear was that combined with the 500 or was that no that's independent so um far hold on I get to Giddy with the here we go direct drive motor 47 uh horsepower okay 3,000 RPM and 109 ftlb torque so the the direct drive motor is giving you torque fill right so it's it's help assisting yeah the second you put your foot down you've got yeah the moment that your foot touches throttle yeah yeah which is cool especially with turbocharged engines because you got that turbo lag so you want to have something that makes up that Gap mhm yep exactly so it's Best of Both Worlds there um and then in the front the the tmu is um continuously enhancing you know all aspects of the dynamic performance acceleration certainly is a no-brainer breaking you know is you've got that beautiful marriage of the electro Servo and the hydraulic um rbo breaks um and then and then cornering we talked a little bit about TR vectoring as well so all in all you're benefiting from that um that those electric voters and concert with that B6 yeah and I think it's cool I mean I was expecting but I think it's cool the way you have it the the power for the front Motors is fairly low and so it's still like a very heavily rear bias system and that's great for you know sportiness so you can I'm I'm sure you can you know play with this thing and get that rear end a little happy because you've got so much more power in the rear than in the front right so it's kind of a small amount up front um yeah that's aw keep keeping the car balanced of course you know all of that so yeah and you were saying the CG was lower you listed quite a few cars I mean that was pretty fascinating you said the 458 yeah um the 458 the uh the R8 the uh the previous gen when we were benchmarking this and then uh um the 911 as well okay so is there a battery pack for the there is yeah where it's actually right behind us okay um so that is if you've been looking on your meter there is a the gauge there and you can see the battery is full at this point we're we're cuz we're in sport mode so it's just running the engine yeah we're in exactly um if we we can probably switch we can if you want I'm fully up to you but in sport we can try them we we'll go back to sport um you and are very no it's great it's great like sure from day to day if I happen to have enough cash I might put it in that battery mode but I then again if I had that much cash maybe not so who knows so you mentioned earlier too um that this has 11 heat exchangers yes so I thought it'd be kind of fun whether or not maybe I don't know if you know all 11 but I thought it'd be kind of fun to to try and guess them I'm a better visual person I can show you we can we can maybe walk through so does the engine have more than one I would really rather just show you the theage as well I think that'll be more interesting for you oh sure for viewers certainly I was thinking the engine probably has one or two yeah you've got maybe two intercoolers because it's twin turbocharged um you've got a transmission cooler I would imagine differential uh you've got well you've got the condenser for the air conditioning system you also have the evaporator for the air conditioning system you also have a heater core for the air conditioning system so I don't know if those three would count but they are all technically heat exchangers yeah and I'm like at 8ish and then I'm I'm kind of stum maybe a differential I don't know if I said that there's one for the uh the electric motors yep yeah that's okay so one of the things actually I used to do design work uh with heat exchangers one of the things that's kind of interesting is cooling for electric items is at a much lower temperature than cooling for the engine and so it makes it challenging because your temperature differential between outside and your electronics is very small so you need larger radiators so you have these different temperatures and and it can make it a challenge but obviously it's packaged into this beautiful well and and what's what what the team is so proud about um is that this design uh is all functional so we've talked about how the the aerodynamics of this car um there is no active arrow and um in part with the arrow story um and then just the general development of this car it's rare that the production car is more aggressive than the show car and that's what we ended up having here oh really which is really so what was different with the uh the concept well as you probably have heard the story we changed the the the engine Midway through the power through development so we had this beautiful vehicle and then they had to find a way to make all of everything work and fit right so was it originally going to be transverse yeah it was going to be a transverse V6 and it was a good it was a good engine um but they looked at it and they said you know what for the NSX we'd like to step it up yeah so um why not so hence why the uh this hybrid system is was born and um we are so excited to have that we're hybrid powertrain for sure so um I think it's a cool future for the future of like supercars getting that instant torque in with electric motors I mean people like to give electric vehicles crap but you know you can't you can't complain with instant torque like it's just amazing yeah I mean there are so many different kinds of car stepping out of it just looking at the the motive industry how many different kinds of cars now this is a tough one we're going to cuz I can't see anything there is a separate this is a hard turn there's so many different types of cars right we've had those for for years and and I think people have looked at electric cars maybe narrowly and this is just my personal opinion but um we look to employ the electric motors from a performance aspect you're getting the most out of the vehicle with the electric motors and then that that wonderful twin turbo V6 so you know you're benefiting from those electric motors from from a fuel and mileage perspective we're getting 20 City 22 Highway in this superar so you know not bad getting out of that gas guzzler tax all of that um but we are simp you know we are a Performance Brand our Mantra here is precision crafted performance at Acura so Precision crafted performance and that's what we what what we had that was our our advertising tagline back in the day and we're bringing that back as our liked uh I don't know if you guys still do it aggression in its most elegant form I thought that was that was awesome and you had all the like sports players and they're like all dressed up and then you'd like break them down and they're like sweating and playing yeah I thought that was cool nice nice I drive an Acura Integra 99 so I kind of get the experience here it's very similar to so you feel like there there's some lineage there oh yeah absolutely yeah I feel right at home in this that's great yeah I mean Mine mine's got like you know it was stolen and someone left cigarette Ash in it but wow aside from that like it's pretty much just just identical have you spent time in the original in a sec I have not no I I'd love to get in one of those um yeah they're they're crazy and they've just held their value so well I've even looked at yeah buying them and they're just they're never going to go down in price it would have been a lovely really smart investment decision for me before we made announcements that we were looking to bring it back yeah yeah so I missed that when window I've looked at like salvaged ones and they're still like 20 something and it's like yeah guys this is crazy but there's a lot of Heritage points um that I can speak to hard that you know you haven't spent time in in the original anex yet but um NX was known for its superb visibility and thin a pillars now we obviously have way more safety regulations that we need to pretty thin but yeah and what's a cool um uh engineering and manufact ruring story here um we were able to get the a pillars uh to be so thin now in 2016 it's a process called three-dimensionally Quench and bent um this this steel um where you get this nice you know this uh nice long um and curved line that that the the vehicle had demanded and um the structure is so solid and the the it's the width of it is just a quarter it's this nice perfectly Hollow um so you it's thin and it is so supportive and strong and it's set up perfectly for the driver where it's oriented the right way I mean you get in cars still today and it's like guys you oriented it the worst angle so it's as fat as can be for the driver right so um so that's ion it to the original um certain design cues exterior wise certainly the uh the hunches the inner cooler side intercoolers and intakes are obviously huge those old ones I mean this one too obviously but the old ones they're just gge gorgeous and they stayed that way like to this day they still look amazing yeah we wanted the you know the design to be classic and and Timeless and um I think the original has certainly proven to be that and I think that this one's yeah I don't know if this looks classic or not but it certainly looks amazing Timeless you know I think yeah Timeless is I think a good word better word to go um there's other little things like the uh there's a there's a black roof right so that was another classic NSX is it is it carbon fiber the panel put on the option of a carbon fiber yeah that if you know the this the car without customization is a black roof okay so whatever color it is um whatever color so if it's a red car it'll have the black roof okay all right yeah cuz this one's black so yeah this is actually a Heritage color so um this is It's called berina black and it was one of the original NX colors so we' brought some Heritage with that too but with modern paint technology yeah absolutely yep right on that's awesome yeah so trying to maintain that the Heritage that made NSX so special um while creating a new Sports Experience for it today yeah right on yeah I've only heard great things about people who have driven those older ones I mean they just seem like amazing amazing cars they changed the game you know when they were introduced to the market 1980 calendar year and um I think that this car is doing the same in today's market yeah well Ellie thank you so much for this has been awesome to take out I really we're so excited to have it here so and have and folks like you drive it so thank you oh this is amazingso turn on the vehicle okay there so yeah there is there are four modes okay here um in the Acura NSX um we have our integrated Dynamic um system the IDS um which we're familiar with with Acuras with the rotary dial here um we just started in sport mode there is quiet sport Sport Plus and track okay so um it's default to start in in sport if you like we can program it to to start in quiet mode um if you didn't want to be that guy at 5: in the morning what want to be that guy you can totally be that guy too so you have options which is lovely um so the IDS affects 11 aspects of the vehicle anywhere from the um the shift mapping steering certainly sound is a big deal um throttle response uh brake pedal um suspension you know a whole bunch of stuff so actually if we look at the TFT meter in the middle I'm going to take you back to quiet this kind of just shows you a little illustration and you can kind of hear there and then if we hold to the right 3 seconds we get into track mode we won't unfortunately be doing that today danger I know fun though no sliding huh okay so we'll start in uh we'll start in quiet mode all right and we can uh with our 9 DCT just you can

right so that was another classic NSX is it is it carbon fiber the panel put on the option of a carbon fiber yeah that if you know the this the car without customization is a black roof okay so whatever color it is um whatever color so if it's a red car it'll have the black roof okay all right yeah cuz this one's black so yeah this is actually a Heritage color so um this is It's called berina black and it was one of the original NX colors so we' brought some Heritage with that too but with modern paint technology yeah absolutely yep right on that's awesome yeah so trying to maintain that the Heritage that made NSX so special um while creating a new Sports Experience for it today yeah right on yeah I've only heard great things about people who have driven those older ones I mean
