The
highly advanced Honda NSX was released in 1990 to showcase Honda's
racing technology. Highlights of the NSX included an ultra-rigid,
lightweight aluminium monocoque chassis, titanium connecting
rods and high-revving capabilities.
The Honda NSX's high chassis rigidity and cornering/handling
abilities were the results of Ayrton Senna's feedback given
to Honda's engineers while testing at the Suzuka Circuit during
its final development stages.
The NSX was designed as a practical supercar, capable of sittting
in city traffic with out overheating, and also capable of over
170 mph.
Although a great car, well built, well thought out, refined
over time, the NSX failed to sell well throughout its long lifetime
- although it still has a devoted following. The cars expensive
production process, with an aluminium monocoque,
meant Honda lost money on each NSX sold.
In the US the NSX was sold under the Acura brand name.
