Next-gen Acura NSX delivers devilish charm

Introduced in the late 1980s as a luxury option for Honda, the Japanese Acura brand is known for reliability, durability, and longevity all while wrapping its passengers in the finer things manufacturers have to offer.

Debuting just a few short years after the brand made its way into the United States, the Acura NSX is a powerful convertible that will help you unleash the devil inside.

Starting at $156,000 and now in its second generation (the first ran from 19912005 with the current one beginning manufacture in 2016), the NSX focuses on evolution and excellence in innovation. The NSX is primed to be the next generation of the Japanese-American supercar.

The NSX is sculpted to be bold and brilliant, with every inch of it a marvel of manufacturing. Its aerodynamic form commands the respect of all those who gaze upon it, whether on the road or resting in the driveway. Its beauty is like none in its class. From the precision design and impeccable balance, no matter which trim or color combination you choose, this vehicle will demand all eyes are on it. Choose from eight beautiful colors from an array of blacks, classic red, electric blue, or spy-inspired silver to create the NSX to match your inner speed demon.

Crafting performance beyond measure by top engineers from around the globe is the key to the NSX’s success, illuminating the truly exceptional Acura brand. Racing DNA pumps through the engine, which was crafted not as a machine but rather a piece of art, a vision beyond compare.

A 3.5-liter DOHC Twin-Turbo V-6 rear 573 horsepower engine is encapsulated by a frame intended to maximize the center of gravity. Rounding out the supreme engineering, a Power Drive Unit manages the hybrid motor, a Direct Drive Electric Motor, Twin Motor Unit, and 9-speed dualclutch transmission.

With such powerful engineering, the cockpit of the NSX demands to be comfortable, luxurious, and exciting. The beauty of the interior of the NSX is its minimalism. Prioritizing simplicity and space, the vehicle boasts a car that even your tallest friend will feel content in. An oblong shaped steering wheel allows for better leg room and an unobstructed view of the dashboard. With a tailored leather grip with finger indentations, holding onto the wheel at 10 and 2 will be easier than ever.

A 3-D bent windshield gives way to a greater view while the vehicle’s extraordinary acoustics virtually eliminate all sounds that didn’t originate from the ELS Studio Premium Audio speakers. With the completely custom built eight speakers located throughout the two seater, your music can reach up to 200 miles per hour.

With a history steeped in racing, it’s no wonder the NSX releases so well on the open road. Letting the top down, turning the radio up, and driving toward an undetermined destination will have you unleashing the devil inside — in as safe a way as possible, of course.
