Acura NSX | One Last Trip Down Memory Lane

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We traveled to Japan to discuss the history and development of the first-generation NSX with the original Honda engineering team responsible for cars such as Integra and S2000. They helped explain the past and how it applies to the future application of sports cars. While the original owners and design team continue to age, the car stays relevant thanks to a new generation of enthusiasts, keeping the story alive.

There are several in the community with over 10k track miles, but I'm not sure how many are still on the original motor. I suspect it was a cost thing, but if I could ask these gentlemen anything it would be if, and how much, they considered a dry sump, or if tire tech at the time was so far from making that a concern that it wasn't even on the radar.

I am not sure the failure was due to any lapse in design consideration. The NSX engineers were purposeful on designing object to last many decades of use at it's normal operational state, maybe they set an unusually high intended limit. Either way, I think Shigeru was right in that they greatly overshot their goal. What is more amazing is how they achieved this on the first try.

    I’ve owned a few NSX-T’s over the years and also found this part interesting. The coupe always felt like a sharp instrument. The T was like a slightly blunt pencil. The feedback through the steering was frustrating and distracting. On a bumpy road, you could actually see the wheel move. I guess the long flexible A-pillar caused some of this reverberation. I’d wondered whether a T-top (MR2) design might have worked better. However, on a smooth road it was great with the roof off, open top motoring is something special. Strangely, I prefer the EPS on the later cars. You lose some feel, but it irons out some of the road feedback which I like. It’s also a lot less physical on hairpins and low speed corners.

In all other ways they were so similar, you could really tell that they came from the same place and from the same people. Visibility, shifter feel, steering feel in both were excellent.

    To those who bash the 2nd-gen NSX, please watch this video. Even though this documentary focuses on the 1st-gen's development, it is evident that the philosophy of the NSX still permeated the development of the 2nd-gen one. You had an engineer that was involved from 1st-gen NSX, to S2000, ending with the 2nd-gen NSX, and the engineers themselves said that the NSX was a product of the times. The 1st one was a product of a desire within Honda to solve a problem in the supercar world: supercars required sacrifices for you to enjoy them. The 2nd one was a template for the medium-term future of the supercar: electrification. The 1st one surely brought us Ferraris that are livable, and the R8. The 2nd one brought us the Artura, the 296, and the upcoming 992.2 Hybrid. The engineers even said that the SH-AWD of the 2nd gen was inspired by the learnings of the 1st-gen NSX's driving characteristics. NSX is a trendsetter. Yes, the handling of the 1st-gen was brilliant and the electronics may have dampened the 2nd-gen's driving dynamics. But people may seem to forget that NSX was also a technological showpiece for Honda and their vision of what the future of sportscars and supercars could be. Kudos to savagegeese for creating a documentary that not only shows appreciation for the 1st-gen NSX, but also showing what the letters N, S, and X truly mean, straight from its creators!

    fair point about the 2nd gen NSX... I just really wish it had come with a manual, if nothing else. Though I dream that they made a simpler (and lighter) trim with just RWD and no hybrid systems/motors too (the race car version was like that). But I'm not against most of that tech per se, I just think (like the engineers mentioned about having to rebalance the electronic aids to get the same feel back) it would have benefitted from a better balance back in the direction of driver connectedness. (Not like I'll ever own one or probably ever drive one anyway though.)

    I dream of a reality that in the later 2000's Honda developed a direct successor to the NSX and the S2000. I desperately want to see an evolution of the 2005 NSX. Ultra clean design, updated materials for the chassis and body to reduce weight while increasing rigidity. Then a 3.5L DOHC VTEC V6 paired with a 6 speed manual that doesn't adhere to the gentlemen's agreement of 280hp. A 3.5L would have likely been tuned to 100hp per liter so about 350hp and 250lbft. Then for the generation after that in around 2015, just implement a mild hybrid setup while keeping the NA V6 revving to 8000rpm and the 6 speed manual. My dream for the S2000 was for it to be updated to an S3000 using a 3 liter version of the NSX motor with 300hp. The 60 degree design of most Honda motors would mean it would fit almost better than the 4 cylinder in the front of an updated S2000 chassis. A guy can dream right?

    Just FYI, the C series engines (Inspire, Saber, Legend, NSX) are 90° V6s, so the packaging would be a colossal issue in the S2000 engine bay. Honda NA/HPD did modify a few S2000s with the J series V6 (60°), though, so that can and has been done.

You've really captured the engineering effort and passion that went into creating this icon, and am the reasons we've all grown to love it. You're passion for enthusiast cars is amazing and something I'm sure a majority of your community shares. I really hope you're proud of this project. Your efforts and passion that went into this has not gone unnoticed.

    I believe the Acura (Honda) NSX is one of the most important sports cars ever made, certainly of the 1990’s. The most striking sports cars of the 1990’s are the NSX, the Dodge Viper and the Porsche 993. It is the NSX that forced Ferrari back to the drawing board to develop the sublime 360 Modena, but the NSX showed what a sports car could be, easy to live with, reliable, fast and beautiful. I know plenty of cars even from the era are quicker, but I don’t think any matched the overall balance of the NSX and the design of the NSX looks modern even today. I like the 2nd generation NSX. I’m a bit sorry that Honda didn’t build a lighter, simpler NSX with a V-6 and a manual absent the complex hybrid system. Still, I think the 2nd generation NSX is underrated and history will recognize it for the great sports car that it is. In an alternate universe, I imagine an NSX that sold well, that evolved through multiple generations to exist today and into the future as the Japanese 911, perfection of balance in a sports car with a Japanese design language and personality. Well it wasn’t meant to be… still I love this video. Thank you for creating the definitive documentary on a car as important and beautiful as any Ferrari. This car, the 993/911, a manual V-8 Audi R8 and the Mercedes AMG SLS remain my hero cars, any or all of which I’d love to drive and preserve in my garage.

    That last line does a perfect job of summing up. Take care of your NSX, and it will take care of you. Exactly.. Try to find any other car, approaching 35 years old, that hasn't been "restored", in order to still be usable everyday. The most "restoration" mine has had, has been soap & water, period.

    What a video, deserves to be on Netlfix! Still haven’t finished, but wanted to say how nice to see how much thought and time went into developing the car. People used to focus on so many engineering aspects of a car, and even taking driver input and so forth. Feel like cars now are just about tossing in a wide screen monitor and as much tech as possible. Everything seems “computer” generated, loses the human touch..

    It was so fascinating learning in depth about the development process behind what for many has become a grail and in my opinion the biggest showcase of the brilliance of the engineers behind my favorite cars on the road (84-00 Hondas and Acuras). I never thought I'd get to see or hear from the brilliant people behind these amazing machines and their stories. Funny enough I just watched the Jason Cammissa revelations on the Gen 1 NSX last night and seeing this today was surreal. I truly appreciate Savagegeese for this amazing exploration.

    Celebration of the people who devoted their days to crafting the products we love is so important, my eyes have only opened to this in the past year or so. Imagine the battles these people fought and headaches they went through to create a machine of this caliber 40 years ago. Genuine inspiration - folks who pursued this concept with a passion, brought it into reality, and lived to see it be appreciated within their lifetime.
