What do you guys think of the NSX? Big thanks to Pat's Garage Online. Check him out here: bit.ly/3phg40o
Styling: AMAZING! Performance: INSANE!
And after revving one, it actually sounds really good (surprisingly 😅)
Agreed! Fantastic car!
Pat is an awesome dude! That NSX IS A MONSTER!
Absolutely! To both things!
The NSX sounds and looks like a great car. Thank you for the great video breakdown. Wondering ...
- if the C8's DCT will operate as smoothly as the NSX when paired with electric motor taking up torque demand
- how nice the future C8's high rev flat plane V8 would be when paired with torque flattening electric motors
- if a custom NSX exaust could add a bit of rawness so it sounds closer to the Ford GT's 6-banger.
It’s sad that this car didn’t sell very well because it’s sooo underrated and amazing and it deserves more respect 😕
Totally agree. Cost was definitely the reason it didn't do as well as it should have, though.
@@HorsePowerObsessed
Cost was the primary reason. But also, many car journalists didn't really like the driving dynamics of the car, the first time if was released. Acura had to make some changes to help improve the car's driving dynamics. For the price of the Acura NSX, I'd rather have a Audi R8.
@@TheTmat007 They made one minor suspension change, and a recalibration. No change is notable in every day driving or drag strip driving.
dated interior. looks like any basic acura inside. still no ventilated seats, no 360 camera, etc. its little things that help but aren't offered but cars at 29k do
oh and the rediculous price tag with well known depreciation instantly
I really enjoyed spending the day with you and getting to show you the Acura NSX!
Maybe we can collab in the future to film some videos for my channel! 🤞
I agree! It's always a good time, Pat!
@@HorsePowerObsessed I agree. Fantastic review, by the way!
Thank you, my friend!
*The NSX is a great alternative to the C8 Vette. Although its a bit more expensive, you still get the perks and reliability of a typical Honda.*
I respect the C8 and appreciate the bang for the buck it brings, but the NSX is so much more beautiful to me. In my opinion one of the best looking cars on the road right now. The C8 design honestly just looks kind of messy and crude sitting next to it.
Don't find it expensive ... For what it is.... Amazing car...
I love my NSX and I love my C8 and they couldn't drive more differently imo. Acura NSX gets a bad rap mainly because people think 200k is too much for an Acura. Honda will never do this again I can almost guarantee it because of all of the bad comments from "couch drivers" employing price/performance only indicator. Honda will probably not make any money on the NSX Supercar which was designed and built in AMERICA. Funny people complain about the NSX price and turn around and embrace the unobtanium Ford GT and it's half a million dollar fee. Ford Gt employs active aero and the NSX a hybrid powertrain otherwise they both have V6 engines.
People like Horsepower Obsessed go a long way in helping cars like the NSX get traction with people. The car is amazing and a true supercar. That nice carbon fiber roof is no longer an option.
100% accurate. This car is absolutely amazing and while the price definitely hurt the attention it gets, a lot of the negativity comes from people who've never driven one. Luckily I got a chance and will gladly pass along my experience because it was quite a good one!
I absolutely love my underated NSX. There honestly isn't anything comparable to this....it does everything well. Those who disagree haven't driven or lived with one for any amount of time. My favorite car I've ever owned period.
Hit it right on the head
The NSX is a beautiful performance car!
Gorgeous!
Always a great time when Justin and Pat get together for some automotive fun!
Absolutely! 2 car guys, and cool cars, what could possibly go wrong?
I’ve watched at least 30 videos on this car and this is the first one that showed the speakers behind the seats and the center compartment. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Honda engines are super underrated. They're also bulletproof.
I'm not typically a fan of Honda (outside of their motorcycles) which is probably why I was so surprised by this car.
@@HorsePowerObsessed yeah they'll surprise you. Especially the J35 V6. Once you get them up in the certain range they'll rev. The NSX with the electric power and gas mix with how they did it, is engineering greatness.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Most people aren't fans on Honda because they have been known for years to build small economical compact cars with tiny 4 cylinder motors with very poor performance numbers. However. most are unaware that Honda dominates F1 racing and it was because of Honda that McLaren became F1 champions in the early 90's with use of Honda race motors in their cars. In fact, McLaren even came back to Honda for engines to use for their production series cars back in 2010 but Honda declined. McLaren ended up using the old VRH35L TT V8 from Nissan modified to their specs. Pound for pound though Honda is a superior company to most out there. It wasn't until I owned a few that I changed my tune with the brand. I was like you initially, always considering the big loud and obnoxious car brands that made spectacles with absorbent amounts of power and strictly straight line performance numbers. There was a replacement for displacement it's called turbos. And now, there's a replacement for turbos, it's called electricity. ;)
I am 40 and can remember wanting a Acura nsx when I was 18 I would love to own that car amazing
Same as you, except I had an opportunity to own one and went a different route. Still kicking myself for that one! THAT car was amazing, this one, not so much.
@@brois841 i mean you can probably get one cheap if you look for a automatic one and manual swap it
I had a Honda S2000 they know how to make a great sports car , I wish they would make a new version as the working man can’t afford the nsx
Honda products are bulletproof...but the cost factor favors the C8...IMHO...disclaimer I’m a Corvette owner...
100% agree.
Not doubting the nsx build quality, I would think that when it comes to repairs , the ability to modify etc. that the c8 would be cheaper and easier to repair and modify. respectively ..
You even like the looks of the original NSX? Dude it’s one of the best looking cars ever made,it still looks better than most things even 30 years later 😎
I asked not long ago what HPO's driving impressions of the NSX was. HPO paid off in a major way. Fantatsic video breakdown. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! I LOVED making it!
My daughter's boyfriend has a Nissan GTR with over 800hp at the wheels and an Acura NSX. He recently ran the quarter mile @ 10.478 and 132.72mph with the NSX. Beautiful Black car with black and red interior.
Very respectable numbers!
You are awesome I like your videos so much. As cool as the NSX is, I couldn't help but keep staring at your C8 (and also wishing the ol' ZR1 was uncovered so I could look at it 😆)
Lol thank you! You'll get a good look at the ZR1 soon enough! 😁👍
Those aint “radiators” on the sides they are intercoolers lol
I snuck up on a newer NSX (yesterday, 12/22/20) in my 2011 CTS-V and blew by him with my supercharger whining. I know he could take me from a dig or a roll, but I didn't give him the chance. He didn't pursue so I got off it. Merry Christmas. Thanks for the Vlog! Pat's NSX is gorgeous!
A car like the NSX definitely excels (pun intended) from a dig but roll racing it's going to be relatively easy to beat. Thanks for the support, my friend!
@@HorsePowerObsessed A stock one perhaps. Not a modded one on race fuel. Good luck! I have beat P100D on street from digs on the JB4 with supporting mods on race fuel. Just recently raced a Plaid on the highway. Guess what? Although he put a considerable gap on me from a roll initially, I caught him and past him at 160 and proceeded to walk him with about 3-4 car lengths. Don't underestimate these NC1 lot of us owners are figuring out how to make them faster now. ;)
This video in one word is simply AWESOME!!
Wow, thanks!
The upcoming hybrid has inspiration from the NSX according to Tadge, but is configured more like the 918. The NSX is a great car, but 200k fully loaded is pushing it. The sales numbers for the NSX were abysmal at best.
Exactly. The NSX is awesome but the price really put a dagger in it. I think Chevy is on the right track to draw inspiration from this car, though.
The sales numbers were exactly as Honda/Acura expected, and exactly as I want them. Build #1816 pictured left. I kinda laugh when people think that the people at Honda were smart enough to build/engineer the car, but weren't smart enough to price it properly...🤣🤣🤣...right.
I have one of these, you got everything pretty much right. And you are correct, massive visibility issues when making a 45 degree left turn. Impossible to see oncoming traffic on the right. I avoid an intersection near my home for this reason, lol
Yup. Mid-engine visibility is not great.
I’be had my 2017 NSX for two years and love it. Never driven or been in a C8, or any corvette for that matter. I’m sure that ZR1 is a complete monster but too much engine and not enough grip for me lol. Plus I like the low cowl visibility out the front, even though side and rear visibility is poor. I probably would not like looking over a long hood with a v8 and blower out front lol! I’ll keep watching your content
Such a pleasure watching you get to know & love a great car!
I enjoyed it too, my friend!
Love the NSX. Interestingly, I just learned it stands for new sports eXperience. Thanks for the awesome video
Very cool! I didn't know that.
Drove one on a track in Vegas a couple of years ago and it was amazing. ❤️the NSX and its my dream car, but can't bring myself to spend that much right now. "Settled" for a GT350 instead (amazing in a different way) and am totally happy with it. Looking forward to adding an NSX in the future when (if) the prices drop.
same here drove one in 2019.. if you haven't yet please do before commenting.. this thing is amazing.. the price is right. you're getting hype car tech for super car prices.. the only prob with the nsx is acura needs to start working with k tuner and hondata for aftermarket tuning.. to get more out of the engine and electric motors.. or do it themselves.
getting the tlx type s in the spring
Your smile in the rear view mirror is priceless!!
🤣 Can't contain true excitement!
Great vid! Those are my top 2 cars I'm eyeing
Good choice!
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT!! For the people saying it costs $200k...NO ONE AFTER 2017 paid $200k for an NSX, lol! There are major discounts putting it around $170k or less. It’s not a mustang gt. Show me a supercar less than $170k fully optioned.... because it’s an “Acura” people think it should cost less.
For me, it's not just because it's an Acura, I just don't feel like the performance is worthy of a 200k price tag. For what Pat paid, however, it's much better.
170k or less after discounts! WOW! What a bargain! Haha 😂
@@d.stiefel869 damn! That’s still to expensive for you? Some Hellcats are over $100k! You should probably be looking at Malibu’s or Altima’s then.....
@@Kanine73 nah, I’ll stick with a C8. 170k for an Acura is like wiping your ass with $100 bills and flushing them down the toilet.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Dealers have been charging over $100K for a C8 since they hit in 2020. for 495hp NA V8? I bought my NSX in 2020 for $129K 1 owner car and it only had 2,200 miles on it. Warranty still had 3 years bumper to bumper and 5 years left on the hybrid system. My NSX is now worth it's original MSRP of $175K today and is gradually increasing in appreciation.
It’s so cool watching your videos and I’m like I drive on those same roads lol
🤣🤣🤣 Right?
Corvette can be whatever it wants ,but it will never be better then a Acura NSX,straight out like that.
Justin that NSX is a good looking car but your C8 is just plain NASTY lol. I don't know about the ride but my vote goes to the C8.
You and the family have a Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Years!!
Thank you! Merry Christmas, my friend!
Looks and specs had me immediately wondering, why wouldn't this sell beautifully? MSRP answered that.
Yup. Unfortunately, this is 100% accurate.
@@HorsePowerObsessed that's 100٪ Acura 🤣
@@HorsePowerObsessed yea if I had the money, I’d rather buy an r8
Such a tragically underrated machine
@23:25 Im definitely recognizing that split section of RT 30 with Loyalhanna Creek running between it.
Yes sir! 👍👍
Thanks for the review. Nice car.
You're quite welcome! 👍👍
Him "a small center console that pretty much fits nothing. Me" you can put your weed in there"
🤣🤣🤣
WHAT a jew
@@smm7540 thanks
@@ericknabenshue5689 oh it's definitely NOT a compliment lol
@@smm7540I want ro be offended but Ive been called worse
I am lucky enough to have a good friend that has a 2018 NSX (Modified to 650HP, of course) and he lets me drive it! I thought I knew the meaning of acceleration and speed because I have owned several very fast bikes (1000 interceptor, Superhawk 996, and a BMW S 1000 RR) , but they are no match for the NSX - even before modifications. This car is amazing.
The NSX feels faster because of the 3 electric motors that make max tq at idle for an early and wide tq curve before the turbo kicks in. The 573 hp total is the highest number achieved at the same times from all 4 motors at any rpm.
I have a question how many C8 in 2020? And how many did they build so far in 2021?
the wheels on your c8 look sick really completes that supercar look
Thank you!
The 2020 NSX is even better check out a video on that baby. Good video out there on after market electronics for NSX gets another 80hp and crazy reliable.
Very cool car. How come you guys didn’t roll race them😁. Nice video. Merry Christmas to everyone
We discussed this right after I used launch control (off camera) but it got so cold so fast here in PA we didn't get a chance to. Hopefully in the future we line them up (we've already discussed drag strips for this) because I think it would be quite an even race!
Good review..Funny how you point out things in the NSX that remind you of the C8, since the NSX came out before it ! 🤔
Thanks! I owned the C8 before I got to review the NSX that's why.
That NSX over any corvette ANY day of the week and Twice on SUNDAY.
Great review Justin. After driving the NSX like you did, would you ever consider trading in the C8 for one? The NSX was the other car I was also considering before purchasing the C8.
Thank you. I would absolutely consider that trade. I actually asked Pat if he'd swap car for car but he said no. I feel like the NSX drives a lot like the ZR1 but looks more like the C8. It's kind of a mixture of both and that's not a bad thing.
@@HorsePowerObsessed i need to make a decision too, its either a lambo or ferrari or this nsx, im leaning toward the nsx cause it will out last the other two brands and less maintain cost
Being that the hp and torque are not too far apart between the nsx and the c8, how do u feel the v8 torque feels in comparison to the electric assisted torque in that nsx?
I feel like the torque in the C8 is more readily available. The NSX didn't feel torquey at all and much more reliant on that higher RPM.
@@HorsePowerObsessed It's not. The NSX's TMU provides instant torque at zero rpm unlike the C8 requiring RPM's to create the requested torque.
Can the front motors be disabled on demand if you desire to have it perform like a traditional rear-wheel drive car?
I don't believe so.
I think people won’t truly realize just how good the current gen NSX is until people are talking about just how good the current gen NSX was 😳
Well said. Unfortunately, I think you're right.
I'm happy for all people who can afford this car. This and the Giulia QV and you're set.
After seeing the price tag it makes me appreciate the c8 even more....Looks better,drives better, sounds better, better interior, front lift features that I don’t think is included in the 17 NSX etc...I could of kept going until 2021.But I still appreciate the existence of the NSX tho and getting the drive feeling/reliability that you paid for.
Drives better? Lol OK. Looks are subjective but the nsx is vastly better than the C8 in every way except price.
that's one hell of a redline in the nsx! must feel crazy after coming out of a c8!
Definitely different that's for sure!
Great review, out of curiosity how tall are you because it doesn't look like you have a whole lot of head room in the NSX.
I am about 6ft. I felt fine though, the GoPro makes it look tighter than it really is.
Great video, my friend. That NSX is super sweet, and has that stand-out rarity factor. You almost never see one on the road. Plus it has Honda quality and will hold it's value, and maybe even increase in value. Also, have to say, Pat seems like a great guy. Now, I can't resist asking the question...which one is faster...the C8 or the NSX?
Thank you! We hope to have an answer to that question soon!
0-100 the nsx is faster. Awd and electric torque is hard to beat
The new versions have great upgrades and with a down pipe is sounds so much better.
Jason - thanks to you and Pat for the run down on the NSX. Way to much $ for what you get. I would be interested how it compared to the C8 on a quarter mile
We are planning to find out ourselves!
Day late and a dollar short but the C8 loses.
As usual, another great video. For me, this NSX is the only car on Earth I want other than a ZR1 Corvette. For those who don't know, Science of Speed in Arizona offers a package of aftermarket downpipes, super cats, large exhaust, piggybacked ECU and methanol/water injection that bumps the horsepower up to around 700. For me, that's perfection. However, I don't believe that the NSX comes with a CD player in the car. The march of digital progress I guess.
Thank you. I was definitely impressed with the car, more than I thought I would be. I mentally compared it more so to my ZR1 than the C8 because of the suspension and how it was tuned. The ZR1 is more of a track car just like the NSX where the C8 is definitely softer on the road. I can obviously appreciate the desire for the ZR1 and the NSX is right there, too!
@@HorsePowerObsessed What I'm waiting for is the 2022 NSX R model which should have around 650 bhp, upgraded suspension and standard carbon ceramic brakes. Early part of this year they said that the R model would be available now, but I think that the pandemic slowed all of that down. In the meantime, I am contemplating is getting a 2020 NSX in all black with the Science of Speed up brakes. But I still will always great admire your superb ZR1 and the care you apply to it. I've referred a number of friends to your page to watch your videos and they all asked me the same question, "Does this man do commercials or voice-overs, or at last sing". I also agree that your side view of you black SR1 is much more visually appealing to me than any current C8. However, once the more potent versions of the C8 get released, I might change my opinion.
Wow I appreciate that so much! You're a true fan of the channel and can't be thanked enough. I've also read up on the NSX R and if it comes to fruition, it's going to be a mean car!
I've driven one with these mods and it's amazing how much it changes the feel of the car.
@@sketch242 I"m sure it does. I hope I have the opportunity to drive one of those myself. I've seen one video online detailing the experience, and it appeared to be truly amazing.
You chose the perfect road to rip that on. Seems like a beastly grocery getter.
We used that road because it was awesome when we drove the GT4 there earlier!
Have you driven an Audi R8? I would be curious to see the comparisons btw 2017 NSX, 2017 R8 and the C8?
I have not. I plan to soon, though.
Love this car!!! Only thing I don't like is cheap plastics interiors and lot of money, but the shape stunning car period.
The NSX interiors have high end alcantara and dry carbon fiber as well as Aniline leather. Not cheap parts by any stretch.
@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA mean to much gloss plastic
I'm surprised that the NSX at that cost does not have a height-adjustable driver's seat. Now I have no idea whether I would fit. Perhaps the seat rails are on an angle so that the seat rises as it gets closer to the steering wheel.
6:36 It reminded you of a Huracan 😉
Yup. The speedo has a similar look. Definitely not a bad thing!
incredible looking car.
Agreed!
👍Rock on guys. I have 2 minor corrections. The car gets more performance all around (suspension, shift patern (holds the gear a lot higher in track mode), shift speed, awd bias, etc...), plus launch control. The car also doesn't weigh 4400lbs. It has a curb weight of 3800 lbs.
Thanks for the vid!
Thanks, man!
Surprised you didn't make more of a comparison between the handling of the C8 vs NSX......yes you liked it, but which do you prefer...?? And why...??
Future video for sure. This one was already getting too long.
Everyone hates on the 2nd gen nsx but honestly if it wasnt called an nsx it wouldn't be hated on.
Nsx the most underrated super car because its an acura..just like the lexus lfa. Ppl rather spend on name than act the vehicle.
Should have known ... currently still waiting on order for 2021 corvette but just seen a red one of these NSX... and hmmmm 🤔 lol
I love that car!
Did you try the most extreme mode? TRACK? 🤔
Off camera I did. Apparently the only difference is that it turns off traction control and it allows you to use launch mode.
@@HorsePowerObsessed 😁 🤙 👍 🤘
I can’t wait to post my video about me and my little brother revving the new nsx! 🔥
That's awesome, man!
Can’t wait for your video!
In Italy it starts from 200,000 euros ... with the euro / $ exchange rate at 1.20 ... crazy.
Nice line up
Thank you!
this should be really interesting.
Nice review, my only complaint would be that you keep comparing the exterior and interior of the NSX to the C8 when in reality it should be the opposite. Remember that the NSX was built first, so any similarly or comparison should be based on the C8 having stuff NSX already processed..!
Yes that's true but, I'm doing that because I experienced the C8 first.
I’m a Z32 owner, and if I had the choice and could afford it, it would be the Lexus LC 500, but my Z suits me just fine! Nice rides though👍🏾
sold my Z Nismo and bought a LC 500 -its in a league of its own as most who drive her know. GT perfection. But, I'll always miss my Z!
@@bbqpitboys I’m doing a complete rebuild on my Z32 up to 500hp, Stay tuned🤜🏽
@@bbqpitboys I don’t even want to know how you like the LC 500😁😁
I went from an LC500 to the NC1 NSX. Would never go back to an LC500 again. 13 second pig with a great interior and awesome sounding V8. Other than that it was boring and dull. NSX puts it to shame.
@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA you think the LC500 is over priced?
Were you guys in Irwin? Lol looks like my neighborhood on rt. 30
Yes sir! I live in Irwin 👍👍
@@HorsePowerObsessed Love your vids bro, I appreciate the reply bro subscribing now, I like this one the best just bought a 2013 Acura ZDX 2 weeks ago, keep it up 💪🏿💪🏿
Thank you! I appreciate the support, my friend!
Beautiful car
It sure is!
I’m surprised they didn’t have a 10 speed available for the C8. Odd to have a nine speed in NSX.
To expensive when new but looks so good. Definitely wish it did better but for the same price you could get more car.
It looks great, maybe the best looking supercar.
Your timing couldn't have been better. The same comparison has been on my mind for weeks. It begs the question why didn't Honda release a non-hybrid version First like the c8 did.
I think they could lower the price a good bit but it is what it is I guess. Definitely would be interesting to see a cheaper version.
Great car but like the look and love the simplicity of the c8 so much even at identical price would rather have c8
The C8 excelled in comfort, touring, fast/hard shifts and incredible sound over the NSX. I still love the C8.
The NSX is nice, but somewhat in the range of a used Mclaren 570s. When it comes down between the two, the Mclaren wins. I'm hoping that a new C8 Z06, when topped out, doesn't enter that territory
I considered a 570s prior to purchasing the NSX. I was concerned about malfunctions outside of warranty, however.
I raced a 570S and beat it in my 2018 NSX. That very same 570S has been back to the dealer at least a dozen times for minor issues since I raced it.
would take over corvette anyday !
Engine bay looks like a Flux Capacitor!
Search youtube NSX Satin Dark Gray Wrap. Highlights the car's lines and adds a just the right amount of menace.
I'm always down for a satin wrapped car! 😍😍
Corvette is very nice and great bang for the buck, but if its my money I would buy the Acura because it would very likely be rarer to see on the road (and I kina like the hybrid aspect).
You nailed this one! Great prediction as it has come to fruition. NSX now discontinued, meanwhile everyone and their mother has a C8 on the road today. I see 5 a day where I'm at and 7 days a weeks.
For those that say the NSX is as expensive as an R8 or whatever, the base NSX starts at 157k. The things that bump the price from 157k to 200k are mostly cosmetic stuff that do not make the performance better but only improve the aesthetics, meaning that the NSX at its cheapest will practically perform as well as the NSX at its most expensive
I would worried about the engine bay as someone who may be jealous or trying to break in this NSX can smash out the engine bay mirror. Yikes! Beautiful car though.
GM adopted the NSX mid-engine turbo hybrid roadmap for the Vette, I guess they're trying match its 5 to 7 cars sold, per month, worldwide. The C8 is already 60% there.
The upcoming hybrid uses a system more akin to the 918 according to heresay. Tadge Juechter noted the NSX as inspiration.
Definitely a wise decision!

The 918 is probably the only car that sells less than the NSX's 5 per month. What is GM's obsession with tanking sales? Imagine if instead of spending $5.5B on the 60% higher price, underwhemling C8, they gave a $50,000 price reduction on every C7 sold for the next 4 years (110,000 cars). Then do a fast, perfect 50/50 balanced, front engine SC V12 C9.
@@FFE-js2zp The C8 is selling extremely well...as well as profit margins. Due to Covid, production was greatly impacted. Also, the C8 is not "poorly balanced", as you claim. You clearly made that up. Physics change on a rear-mid engine car...you do not need a 50/50. In terms of handling, the car is actually more "balanced" than the C7. The C8 is a platform for years to come and will pay dividends for generations beyond. The C7, or other front-mid engine variations, would not pay off nearly as much.

The C8 sold 12,000 of GM's announced 40,000 allocation, its first year, which is 1/3rd the C7's launch year. Its down 60% Q2 over Q2. The C8 has a 62/38 "balance" which is beyond attrotious, even worse than the rear engine poster-boy for unacceptably dangerous rear weight bias, the safety-cancelled Corvair (which sold 250,000 in launch year, then climbed to 340,000 in 1961).
P. S. there are more wrecked C8s, including two by pro drivers in testing, than is coincidentally possible. Jeeze, Sam Crac found three wrecked C8s in his local pick and pull. Thats crazy.
Light front axle weight, and the C8s heffer weight gain, is why it can't turn due to "infuriating understeer" (MT's review). Why do you think a C7 base model disposes of the C8 on the track with the same tires? And is within 3 hundreths of a sec to 60? At near half the price.
Its funny that the C7 makes all the same claims against the instagram-whore-optimized C8 that it always made against overpriced underperforming competition. The C8's worst nightmare is the substantially superior, next level value, C7.
One of the best super car and It worths every cent!!
He kept comparing a 200k car to a C8. Acura is shaking their heads. Haha
Great car, really. Price is a barrier. 200K$ is a narrow market of low volume cars.
Agreed.
My dream car ❤️❤️❤️
Did I miss any talk of potential maintenance costs?? NSX
No. That's an entire video on it's own...
Actually the nsx has 573 hp not 500. Nsx has great build quality and will last for years...Cool video though.
Thanks, man! The engine itself produces 500 the additional comes from the hybrid motors which I discussed in the beginning of the video.
The Nsx is a great car all around.
Yes it is
What happened is, Honda marketed their Taco Bell chicken burrito, against Popeyes chicken, churches chicken, Kentucky fried chicken and Bojangles.
Now when I want a quick taco that will give me a lot for my money, I go to Taco Bell without a second thought.
But you will never ever never convince me that any chicken anything that Taco Bell has is better than Popeyes chicken wrap...never. It’s in a completely different league....that’s why the NSX lost the war.
They battle branded when they should have been marketing their unique innovation.
Because they were absolutely right to make that car, as every future hypercar going forward is following the NSX HYBRID formula. it was perfect, beautiful and way ahead of its time JUST like the original NSX...but they never gave it a chance to sell better than the original NSX.
WOW NICE CAR NSX ACURA Wow wuao beautiful
