Honda NSX

To target Ferrari 328, Honda came up with an ambitious mid-engine sports car which they called HP-X (Honda Pininfarina eXperimental), a prototype  which they later put into production with the name NS-X (New Sports car eXperimental). It was launched in late ’89. It showcased impressive technologies and used what were then unconventional materials, like extruded aluminum for chassis and titanium for its connecting rod, for its construction. It also became one of the finest handling cars ever made. Honda offered NSX a variety of configurations during its 15-years. Only 18,000 were ever build and is so one of the rarest car. It had 270hp and later 290hp V-6 engine.

     

Owning a second generation NSX will soon be a reality. The all new supercar will feature around 550hp using a twin turbocharged V6 and also electric motors that will manage torque at each corner. The new 75-degree six cylinders will be mounted longitudinally and therefore, the car gets a SH-AWD configuration. The power will be transmitted to the wheels via a 9-speed, dual clutch gearbox. A whole lot of carbon fiber will also be added to the car.
