Product Description
Product Description
Honda announced its NSX in 1989 and put the car into production the following year. It was a technical tour de force, aluminium body structure and suspension, mid-mounted quad-cam 24-valve V6 engine of just under 3 litres giving 270bhp at a screaming 7300rpm, looks to vie with Italy's best and a maximum speed of around 165mph. With this car, the Japanese company put its hard won technological skills on display, and startled the motoring world. Honda, after all, was supposed to be a maker of reliable family saloons, not supercars. Therein lay the NSX's problem, which it also encountered in the USA where it wore an Acura badge. Despite the car's excellence, it did not have the pedigree of the established supercars makers. Yet Honda persevered, adding a targa-roof version to the original coupe, offering a four-speed automatic alternative to the standard five-speed manual, providing a Formula 1 style gearchange and even a six speed gearbox. In Japan, the car was even made available with Bridgestone's revolutionary twin tyres. Of course, the NSX was and remainFrames much more than a pretender to the supercar crown. It also offered the reliability and driveability associated with mundane Honda saloons, and it was as much at home pottering around town as it was all-out on a German autobahn. When Honda choose to follow this one up, the NSX will be seen for what it always has been, the first in a line of serious challenges to the established supercar pecking order. This is a book of contemporary road & comparison tests, specs, technical data & driver's impressions. Includes: F-Matic, NSX-T, NSX-R, NSX-T F-Matic & Automatic.
