Ok seriously, how perfect was that cameo?
Kurt. this is a VERY gorgeous, docile supercar but the corvette at a fraction of the price of this NSX with the same performance must be the greater accomplishment of the two.
That was Hugo with the NSXR clone. He probably got done filming a video with Zygrene YT channel. Starting to really like the new NSX, especially the Long Beach color for 2021.
Wish I could buy one of these or the Lexus LC500 another underappreciated model ok not a fast car but high finish great sounding 5L v8 GT car. Also Honda/,Acura have good reliability too. Great vid like the yellow too. Thanks.
Yeah dude I thought that was sick. I love NSXs. Great cars and will always be the Main rival of the GTR from Japan.
Good timing.
Definitely on my list to buy “when depreciation takes its toll”
NSX prices won't fall anymore. Prices are going up since Honda ended all sales in Japan and Australia for the NC1 NSX. They will be over $200K soon I'm certain of it.
@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA prices only go up on things in demand...
Entry point for this is around 120k. About as low as youll get using depreciation basic math
@@saddestoftimes411 I’m not sure but I think we’ll see these dip into the 90s eventually. They MSRP for around 140 so 120 isn’t much depreciation
@@JordanPayneLV I’ve seen brand new ones at dealers go for 140k. No way 120k is as low as it gets.
You're the only reviewer I've see that understands what NSX is. I swear I thought I was the only one and I don't even own one, but I hope I will old or new
Watch Sarah-n-tuned review of this car...😊😊😊
Yep, New Sports eXperimental (or eXperience). It is certainly ahead of the curve as a hybrid supercar, and McLaren, Ferrari and the rest will have to take this approach in the future. I do think it was a miss to benchmark the existing Ferrari 458 (just as the original car benchmarked the 328 & 348 which then became an outdated benchmark), instead of anticipate the forthcoming Ferrari 488 or McLaren 720S. The power output does seem outdated for a supercar in 2021 (or even back in 2018). 700+ hp would go a long way to help the NSX build more hype IMO, perhaps that would have necessitated a V8 twin-turbo instead of V6 back at the design stage...
I will be buying one no one really drives it and that’s what I like, literally one pulled next to me and I got excited like a child, I will have that car
It if funny how much badge snobbery is a factor this days. Spend over 180k on a car and it has to be an exotic (funny cause the new NSX is more exotic then most Ferraris Lambos and McLearen not even gonna mention Porsche) every one loved the first NSX cause it was 90% of a Ferrari 348-355 performance for about 50% of the price. Now the new NSX was the first car outside the holy trinity that is performance Hybrid. And the market wasn't ready for it. Now Ferrari just put out a SF90 which is twin turbo v8 and 3 electric motors same layout as the NSX. And again the NSX is 90% of it's performance for less then 50% of the price. We know McLearen is just launching the new sport series model which is a twin turbo v6 and 3 electric motors. And again NSX is 95% of it's performance for 70% of the price. Soon Porsche will have a hybrid 992 cause the new 8speed PDK has a space for an electric motor. And I recon then people will rediscover the hybrid NSX. Cause then the hybrid super sport cars will be the talking point and in demand. Sadly till then the new NSX will struggle to shift. But for me it is the car that I would buy cause as U said it is quick enough and because it is so modern is design and power plant technology. I would get the yellow one as well and daily the s*hit out of it. Grate review!
Nailed it
This is exactly what the original NSX was. This is the hybrid supercar for the budget. I think this used to be like the budget version of the holy trinity (918, laferrari, p1). Even new hybrid supercars like the McLaren Artura is still more expensive than this. So in that case, the NSX is a budget hybrid supercar, just like how the original NSX was a budget supercar back then. The new NSX, like the original NSX, is also a daily supercar. In Supercar of London's review he said there are no blind spots and is very comfy. So yeah...
This is my dream car, I don’t care what anyone thinks about the badge. Also, miiiight want to blur the speedo, especially as you get more popular.
The badge is not what people take issue with
@@Fee.1 yes It is, and the original NSX received the exact same criticism this one did back in the 90's...'oh it's too expensive', 'oh it's just a Honda' ' oh it's not fast enough' ..'oh it's boring compared to a Ferrari' etc etc..now of course it's worshipped. No surprise there are dozens of new gen NSX reviews on UA-cam where the reviewer says 'you know what?, this thing is just beautiful', you know what?, this thing is really faaaast', 'you know what? this is one of the most complete driving experiences'...
@@KnightIndustries572 how old are you? No disrespect intended I just am curious as it will inform my response approach
Fee, some do. Some get heartburn when contemplating if Honda can make a credible super car when their lineup includes something as mundane as the Honda Fit. Those people don’t really know or understand much about Honda.
@@Fee.1 out of curiosity, what is it they take issue with?
I'm wIth you on the styling. Function over form makes these cars even better. Leave the golf clubs at home.
I agree, this thing is STUNNING especially in this yellow! It is such a shame it does not get the respect it deserves because it is really one outstanding supercar. I am usually a "no manual equals no buy" kind of guy but this NSX is really something special and I would be proud to own one. I have been a big fan of the NSX ever since the first car was made but I never knew what NSX actually meant. You are the first one I heard to ever explain it means "New Sports Car Experience" which really fits the bill for the new NSX. Also, made in America means something to me too which is another reason why I love my Honda Civic Type R and its Ohio built engine :) Thanks for the great review.
When clicking on the video, i for sure thought it was a One Take from The smoking tire channel LOL.
NSX = New Sportscar Experimental
I own a 2019 NSX and bought it new for $130k. The sticker was about$160k but there are always discounts. Outside of Carbon Fiber Rotors, all of the other options are cosmetic (i.e. Carbon Fiber trim, roof, etc). This car should never be compared to cars in the 200k range. It's an amazing car for $130k and with probably 1500 Units in the US, they are definitely going to hold their value.
Same. Unadorned 2019 for $130K. IMHO the correct way to think about this car is a more interesting 911 Turbo experience, for loaded 911 Carrera money. An absolute no-brainer.
Would highly discourage the use of carbon fiber rotors. All jokes aside, congrats. Happy for you.
Carbon fiber are lighter true - but I am one of those that don't like carbon fiber especially in the major part of the car such as hood and roof. Overtime, they deteriorate from the heat and looks so ugly and dull and there is no other way for you to replenish it. It is what it is once you put it on.
If you are not racing, carbon fiber brake rotor is not necessary - it will drain you pocket during maintenance.
Nice, I’ve been searching for a car to keep my fried chicken warm for years
an auto version of the cafe racer
I'll never be able to afford one but I want one of these so bad
Love this gen 2 NSX. I will be the proud owner of a 2022 Type-S one day in the future, mark my words!
If get a LFA since the two cars are relatively the same pricing. NSX is iconic, I’ll be honest NSX is fast. It’s amazingly beautiful and sleek design
We don’t want to know about your Gran Turismo selections lol
dont understand why people hate it, new 992 gt3 cost around the same but with 70 less hp, but people hate this car.
People fear what they don’t understand. Fear leads to hate.
When the og NSX rolled up it legit felt like when your dad walks in while you're filming a video it's hilarious
Amazing video and I loved the topics you touched on about fast being fast enough! Sub 3 seconds is definitely nothing to sneeze at! The NSX has always been my dream car old and new hopefully will to get experience driving one some day :’) thanks for the video!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
The powertrain in this car was a little ahead of it's time… now the times have aptly caught ON 🎓
There are no other vehicles out there in head-head competition in the deployed drivetrain technology & features as to what the Gen. 2 NSX represents.
Great review, enjoyed every minute of it!
I absolutely love mine
If I had the cash I would absolutely take a hard look at one of these. I ❤️ the NSX.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the old NSX stools for New Sports car eXperimental and the new one is New Sports car eXperience. At least that’s what they said when it came out. Great review! It also looks good in red and the baby blue
Yes it does
Stunning drive in a stunning car. Looked like you were flying through the canyons in a Star Wars pod racer! I would get one over the prestige branded models any day!
Welcome to LA! If you ever make it further North towards Santa Barbara, I bring you on some more epic twisties
My brother had two of these cars and I can attest that it is amazing!!! People who talk negatively about this car are clueless. And it is way more dependable than a Mclauren
Thanks for the informative video. A very under rated car but a totally magnificent car!
I wish I could afford this so badly. It's the only supercar I'd ever own.
Great review!
This is my dream car. I must own one in this lifetime. Hopefully soon
I think alot of people missed the point of the NSX. The original NSX was one of the best handling cars in the world. It wasn't meant to beat the Supra or Nissan 300z. There are many cars that are faster, and the price point is up there. That makes it difficult for people to buy because if you have that kind of money you got other choices, in my opinion is a great buy.
You hit the nail on the head as to why people don’t buy it. Its badge snobbery and also down to what else you can get for the same money.
I love the NSX myself. Currently got a gen 2 R8 V10 Plus but considering the NSX and McLaren 570s for my next car.
How do you like the r8?
Nathan you should go with the NSX and film content with it! Not much of them out there in YT world.
@@ifeawosika966 I love it but am getting bored of it and fancy something else. I usually only keep cars for a couple of years but there’s not much else available that I like in similar price range or performance as the R8.
@@HecG57 agreed. I think I’ve watched pretty much every NSX video on YT. Not sure I’d do my own though. Bit shy I’m front of a camera lol
I’m waiting to test drive the McLaren Artura. Guy’s correct. Hybrid/EV is the future.
The biggest issue for the gen 2 NSX is the C8 Corvette Stingray at less than half the price with similar performance the buyer looking to get a cheap sports car will be poached by GM. The buyer looking for exclusivity will buy an Audi R8. Simply put at the end of the day the car is still a Honda and $200K for a Honda is a hard sell. That's Lamborghini territory. The sweet spot for the NSX is $100K to $120K. More than that and buyers are looking at more exotic name plates.
the nsx with its hybrid powertrain at 150k is a good range imo. R8 is about 170-200k. Covette is 70-110k. The nsx is better than the normal C8. Also, vettes have always been a bargain super car, so its hard to compare.
@@donn.4766 I'd say, it really depends on what you're looking for. If you're just looking at NSX, C8, and R8 in terms of performance, the C8 is better buy. If you're going for luxury then the R8 might be the better choice. If you're more of the mind that you want technology inline with a P1 or 918 without footing a nearly million dollars price tag, but want something faster than an I8 then the NSX is your car. Or maybe you're just a fan of Honda and the thought of owning a Honda super car works for you. In any case the market for the NSX is extremely small. Sales numbers bare this out. I'm fan of the product but looking at it realistically, it is hard to justify spending that kind of money with better options available from the perspective of luxury or performance. Even the I8 comes into play if all you want is a hybrid sports car and performance numbers aren't a deal breaker. Chop $20k to $30K off the NSX's asking price and sales would likely double or even triple because the car is no longer positioned as middle of the road and targets the I8 as a sales competitor.
@@demetricklouis5710i dont think its about pricing, its rare and that commands pricing. The nsx is just misunderstood. Im old enough to remember how hated the original nsx was when it came out. Magazines and people said it was a wannabe ferrari with no soul, a ridiculous 80k for a honda, it was an imitator that didn’t do 1 thing better than ferrari yes, they questioned its reliability because honda doesn’t make supercars. Car “Enthusiasts” scoffed at at nsx. Now its loved for pretty much every reason. Its ahead of its time, and people just didnt get it. Btw, the msrp of a 1992 nsx was 80k, which is 155k in todays money.
Whats funny is i’m saving up for an R8 myself, but my buddy just bought one. So now im aiming at nsx or amg gt c lol.
@@donn.4766 I don't disagree with everything you just said. Arguably the gen 1 NSX was better than the Ferrari it was benchmarked against. It was more reliable, and a better performer, but what it lacked was name recognition. Acura is still Honda and many people couldn't justify spending that kind of money for a Honda.
The gen 2 NSX isn't what I would call "more exotic". The cars are made to order. Sure they are rare, but that is because people aren't buying them in significant numbers. Last year saw fewer than 150 being sold if memory serves.
I am a Honda fanboy. I own 6. So it's not like I'm saying this out of dislike for the brand. Heck I own stock in the company. So it only helps me if their cars sell.
I honestly think that Honda missed the mark with pricing. This bares itself out when we look at what used gen 2 NSXs are going for. That's between $120k and $130k.
@@demetricklouis5710 i know what u mean by brand recognition. Lots of people wouldnt buy a 150k acura no matter how good it was. Thats the problem. Its a baby p1/laferrari/918 but people were crying about it not being like the original which is dumb. If they made a manual v6 without drivers aids or any new tech they would be laughed off the face of the earth lol. I do think the interior is a bit low end for that price tag, but hey u get a hybrid with electric motors and a car that will still turn heads.
Honda and Acura don't advertise their cars plus people have biased against this car even though Acura's are always better than European cars.
Only reason why it’s not appreciated is because of the success of the 1st Gen. It’s a victim of its own previous success.
It actually fits the “NSX ethos” by being a New Sports eXperimental.
Hopefully people give the NSX the credit it deserves for pioneering the sub-300k hybrid supercar instead of reserving that credit for the MC20 or the Artura.
HorryShiat that intro cornering speed. Lol bloody scary fast.
This guy is flying fast damn I been waiting this car tho
This is the only supercar that still be on the road in 20 years.
Li-Ion batteries have a max life of 5 years.
@@FFE-js2zp bats go longer then that are u stupid, also lambos are solid etc
I've own 2 so far a 17 and 19 and compared to my 570 and AMG GT R is the most reliable, beautiful car you could own, it was meant to be a daily supercar and it does that job 100% to satisfaction.
Saw 2 new NSX's in the past week here in my city here in Canada of about 300,000 people.
I love this car, great review. I did one not too long ago, got to compare it back to back to a 2002 NSX, the people that own these cars know what they want in a car and love it's driving characteristics. The two main downsides of this car are the interior screams civic or something that shouldn't cost 160k+ new, and the lack of performance upgrades and tuneability. there's downpipes, exhaust, intercooler upgrades, and a jb4 tune box with a sprint booster for throttle response (making an extra 100hp) but that's it. Don't get me wrong, those upgrades make this car a savage, but to most that want an exotic and want to upgrade, they want bigger turbos, and power upwards of 800hp.
But think about it, do most who buy super cars go out and perform the mods you mentioned? It’s a mixed bag, but not many do. The NSX is enigmatic, it’s a bit of a ‘sleeper’, a tucked away Rembrandt in ways. It’s also well-priced as it reeks of quality, superior engineering, visceral appeal, and of course performance.
@@Snookynibbles Actually a good bit of the people that I know do those mods, and they have what I mentioned done to their NSX (have a review of one on my channel actually). But I agree with everything you mentioned about this car, which is why I am getting one soon, instead of an R8 or Huracan. Trust me my comment isn't my perspective, it comes from research and simply talking to people in that market why they didn't get one or why they did instead of their rivals.
I love the new NSX, my only hang-up and why I bought a 911 is the Cosworth engine. Yes it should be reliable, but the long-block is very rare (only car that uses it and very limited production) and if anything ever went wrong with it, I believe the replacement cost is $60k. That's a spicy meatball out of warranty.
I was thinking about this car, but the wife said no so I ended up with an suv for the kids and dogs. Mistress was not happy.
The Nsx is a great car all around 👍🏻
Gonna be getting one soon, I've been eyeing this puppy up for a while. I think I'm going to wait for the type R though. Great review, just solidified my choice a little more.
There’s no current Honda messaging about a Type R. However, check out the “Science of Speed” website to find three sweet performance mods boosting output to 700 hp.
@@Snookynibbles I suppose I should've said "a" type R and not "the" type R. More a hope than anything else. I'll check out that website though, thanks a lot.
@@TheSuperNick1134 It's not going to happen. I can see Acura killing this car soon. They don't sell!
Gonn be getting one soon too. One pair of socks . Because the Nsx is out of my league
Poverty Spec, I doubt that. This car comprises a strategic role in Acura’s marketing of the brand’s advanced technologies...it’s a quintessential showpiece, and racing the car (GT3) is a part of this.
The gen. 1 NSX wasn’t selling like hotcakes either. Production was ultimately nixed due to high costs to reengineer to meet new & more stringent pollution standards. As it was ‘long in the tooth’, Honda shifted focus to creating the gen. 2 NSX.
Mabey Some Day. For now I'll just have to enjoy my 1991 NSX. :)
Flex lolll
Better car anyway, never sell it
And ill enjoy my 94 Brooklands green :)))))
It didn't come out in enough markets.Here in South Africa we never got it.There are Lamborghini and Rolls Royces every were here.
I really don't understand how they're not selling. Prob cause most ppl talk shit bout dis car without even driving it.
Crap interior and no luggage space.
Because it's a Honda, this segment also have alot competition in fact stiff competition. A Honda at this price is very hard to sell even how good it is.
@@ahwai82 So it's the badge ppl want then
@@adelhartreisig9020 cause super cars usually have alot of luggage space. I've sat in 1. It's not crap interior, except the infotainment system. Also, is anybody gona talk $hit without even seeing1 in person let alone not driving it.
@@franciscojr.millan2102 At the price Honda put on can buy something like a Audi R8 V10, or a 911 turbo for a little more. It's not buying a civic or Camry where prices have a impact, it's a sportscar and ppl would pay alot for a Porsche but not for a Honda.
Build #1816 left. Bought new over two years ago. Driven daily through two Canadian winters. Trips to the dealership? None.....nuff said.
$150,000 for a v6 car with the needless extra weight and complexity of having multiple electric motors and a battery, when the ultimate result is that it does about 95% of what a Nissan GTR can do. V6's are not exciting. They missed the mark on the "hybrid supercar" thing. 560 horsepower isn't enough, and people hate V6s in anything more than a $30,000 crossover. If they did a 3.6 liter turbo V8 hybrid that makes 675 horsepower for that same $150k, we'd be talking about the NSX as one of the very best modern sports cars, and demand would be through the roof.
Totally missed the mark... I mean after all imagine a "supercar" with a V6 engine right? Everyone will hate it and it won't hold it's value or sell over MSRP. I mean imagine if the Ford GT was a V6.... I bet that car wouldn't sell out or go for double MSRP at auctions. Frankly, the GT-R is a fanboy tuner car. The NSX is better in every way from technology to looks. So the GTR is slightly faster, does anyone really care that street drives these cars?
At least a company with serious racing roots like McLaren would never do a V6 based vehicle right? I mean that Artura thing? total vaporware.
You might want to hold on to your socks bud. With all the new fuel and emission laws that are coming down in North America, a lot more cars are going to be smaller displacement engines.
@@rc7016 The Ford GT is a limited production carbon fiber Le Mans racer that you had to be invited to apply to own and the new McLaren is going to tank. Yes, V6's suck and nobody wants one in their super cars.. I understand fuel economy restrictions, but saving 4% on fuel to go from a v8 to a v6 makes no sense whatsoever. Good try though.
Regarding the The Badge Prestige... they said the American with LEXUS LFA ... look at that car today .... classed as the greatest driving car EVER by UK Top Gear ..... As I’m writing this message you have said what I’ve just written ... This car MUST be compared as a ver cheap Porsche 918 .... That’s serious Money ... This car will succeed !
The MR Dampers are originally developed for the Corvette. The Acura NSX is nice but the cargo space when compared to the C8 is anemic. I sat in one and found the interior claustrophobic. I was impressed with the quiet mode and how the engine would shut down. I found that the 1990's NSX has more of a following than this 2 decade later model. I think they deviated from the original styling. I fear time will show that the reliability will be a problem with all the electronics. Price is another big problem. $200k for an Acura is crazy. The lack of heritage is also another reason. Look at the Corvette which has over 50 years of heritage. I would be afraid to put down $200k and find unavailable parts when repairs are needed. One could buy 2 C8s, one a coupe and the other a hard top convertible, for the price of 1 Acura NSX Hard top only. The corvette C8 also has a GPS 1000 point lift system to lift the car 2 inches to avoid scuffing the front nose. It also did not help that the launch of this new Acura NSX arrived when Ford launched their new Ford GT. I think the Ford GT stole the attention from Acura. This NSX may have sold well if they launched it in 2007 instead of 2016.
The car is awesome but not that popular to demand 200k. I can see it being 70 based-100k fully loaded.
Yet, the new nsx engineering is being copied and popularized . hybrid nsx is ground breaking n deserves to be honored.
it's not at all expensive when you really think of the technology that's in it and inflation of the old NSX
@@mrgreen9086 I agree with u. Like the c8.. Start off low just to catch the buyers and gain traction. Then raise the prices up as the years go by.
Starting off that high n purists shitting on the idea of the car.. Not good for traction. Now Ferrari and other has taken the idea n popularized the hybrid idea.. Marketed it as a fresh idea , while nsx sits on the lots as n lost thought. Sad.
I love this car
Aye, I'm from Ohio too! Definitely getting one of these for my company with a bit of spare change!
OH!
IO!
When the day comes and I can afford one of these, I am definitely ordering the Japan/European Honda badging for it
This is one of the best supercar to come out in the last decade.
I love the way the Acura NSX, Audi R8, McLaren 570S, base Lamborghini Huracan, Aston Martin Vantage, Porsche 911, BMW i8, BMW M8, Lotus Evora, Nissan GT-R, and C8 Chevorlet Corvette all stack up next to each other as supercars.
Just please let depreciation take its toll so it can trickle down into more affordable prices 😜🙏
not lotus i8 is slow m8 no
Love my Plaid but thinking of trading it in on an NSX!
One of my favourite car ever....❤️
So I heard that the GT-R feels more "digital" than the NSX....What exactly does that mean? Is Digital a bad thing?
While people tout individualism, in the end we are herding animals. Brand conscious drivers, I would argue, seek acceptance by their peers and looks of admiration from others, not that the NSX doesn't draw looks. It's a beautiful car and a blindingly fast and competent one at that! Perhaps among the country club set the lack of room for a set of clubs is enough to scrub it off people's lists? Maybe have their clubs delivered by courier to the club? That would set them off! But I think you're right, North Americans are very brand conscious as evidenced that all the Japanese introduced their luxury/performance vehicles, at least at first, under different name plates. The rest of the world was just fine with the Honda brand on their cars.
F1 cars use passive dampers i.e. not MR. Active suspension was banned starting in 1994.
I always liked the car when it debuted. I was on the fence at Road Atlanta 2018 when one caught on fire going around a bend......hmmmmm.
the yellow is such a great color
That blue is beautiful too.
That is a nice looking yellow, I also am not a fan of yellow cars but that one looks right.
He’s right. I’m sure nobody wanted to give up their horses when the automobile showed up. I’m waiting to drive the McLaren Artura in a couple months. Hybrid/EV is the future.
Best looking modern 'supercar' imho
What a gorgeous car!
I think those shiny plastic things would look better if they were carbon fiber the radio need updating and those big plastic buttons.
Not a huge fan of yellow cars, but love this car in yellow. I’ve also absolutely no interest at all in an overweight, automatic, over complicated, Japanese car with a hybrid power train and a rubbish cockpit. At all. But.... I totally adore the NSX. I really want one quite a bit.
Also, doesn’t the X in NSX stand for eXperimental?
Does anyone know what road this is? Because the drive looks wicked!
Is there an option to have badge logos changed to Honda’s?
Simply gorgeous.....!
It's nothing like a GTR. The NSX is more refined. Especially the ride and transmission. The lack of turbo lag is also a big plus along with more than six gears.
I do appreciate the the look and technology. But What made the original NSX so special was the relative light weight of the all aluminum body one of the first, aerodynamic styling and simple high winding N/A V6 with everyday reliability.
What we got is too heavy, overly complicated that made it that much more expensive. IF they would of stuck to a less complicated design they would of sold like crazy. The C8 is proof you don't need complicated, heavy, hybrid technology to make a performance sports car. The proof is in the sales.
It's definitely a good looking car and performance is awesome. However, I think it's a mistake to over-complicate things with the whole performance hybrid strategy. If this car was just V6 twin turbo it would still be great - and simpler and lighter!
If i ever hit the lotto, this will be the first and last supercar for me
bruh just start an OF
The (Honda/Acura) badge isn’t an issue. The NAMEPLATE/NAMESAKE/LEGACY, or lack thereof, is the issue. They promised us a NA V8 NSX. they shouldn’t have switched to hybrid after resurrecting the program once the financial crisis passed after 09. You have to realize how long the original was sold and how long we waited for the NSX in its peak form, what we got did not at all jive with what people wanted and that is never good for a product. It probably would’ve done better if they would’ve just called it something else
The model that was scrapped due to the global financial crisis was a V10 front-engine actually, the Honda HSV-010-GT.
If Honda would've made this with a 300 hp NA v6 and rwd only, and left off all the electronic crap, and priced it around 65k, they'd sell hundreds of thousands of them.
"Experience what its like to drive this thing"
me sitting on the couch....
If you had the choice between the Cayman GT4 or Acura Nsx which one would you go with
This is a genuinely difficult question
Cayman.
Stunning
Less than 200???!!!! What the hell?! People are ridiculous, no wonder why people never see them, I don’t live in North America or England, I live in the Caribbean, when in Canada, I was lucky enough to see a Valencia Red pearl 2017 nsx twice, don’t know if I’ll ever see one again simply because people don’t buy them unfortunately
Probably the biggest problem with the new NSX was the styling.. It somehow looked bland and derivative, yet busy and overstyled, at the same time... I don't know how they did it.
You can fit golf clubs in the trunk of the NSX, but its a bit of a pain.
I really love everything about this car wouldn't mind having this car in the yellow or white for now I'll just use my imagination
Honestly, they need to simply put this engine in the amazing new TSX sedans.
Allways wondered how'd look without that beak
The irony of a GTR being a digital snooze fest when it's a fully gas engine, not to mention its history, and the NSX having the more raw experience while being a future car. I'm normally a straight-six engine guy, don't want anything else, but I'm surprised at how good the NSX sounds.
that's not just an old NSX its the type R. Extremely rare.
I agree with the comments about the c8.
Definitely too big and bulky from behind and just looks off.
This is why I keep saying that the NSX will age way better than the C8. The design is way better.
Had they made a manual version this video wouldn’t exist
5:55 I thought NSX stood for "New Sportscar eXperimental".
I just started a business, and I'm hoping, with what I've created as a plan, gets me one of these. I am dead ass serious.
I respect that. I am thinking the same. You will get one. It's already in the atmosphere
Thanks for the encouragement.
Don't be mad at the Vette because GM dropped a proper V8 in a sports car.
That lack of storage...I daily drive a 991 and the storage is deceptively good.
Except you’ll be spending a lot more time at the dealer waiting for service repair than with the true daily driver, the NSX. For all the hype, German cars are comparatively unreliable money pits.
I disagree with some opinions. I like cargo space and Corvette looks awesome in and out.
C8 is good but does not feel as special as the NSX.
@@ssaini5028 if you consider less being more. In the nsx case, you get less and it costs more. When America works out making a better electric, people will look to America as a leader.
@@Gargamoth For the money the NSX is giving a lot more, a bespoke 75 degree engine, faster launch than an V10 R8, better braking than a 911 Turbo, and quicker around a track than most super Cars. That Honda reliability is also a staple. America is still the leader in electrification companies such as Tesla exist here.
The central problem with the new NSX is its hybrid system. A hybrid engine in a supercar is supposed to make it faster and/or make it more efficient. The NSX is not efficient and it is not faster than that other Japanese supercar named after a kaiju.
Also, the new car abandoned the spirit of the original car which was simply designed with amazing reliability and performance. Lastly, the new NSX costa almost $200K and everyone with that money would rather get a 570S, R8, 911 Turbo S, or Huracan.
I am it's a great car, so are many others in the price range.
