That and it's still also a Honda, a very expensive honda. I say this as someone who likes the nsx

Good job Mat. It's good to see a positive review for this car. I got kind of tired hearing so many fussy and completely anal car reviewers knocking it for not being perfect. This is a brand new car, coming from a team that had the nuts to rethink and redesign the the drive train midstream, enduring the criticism for not getting it out when it was first anticipated to be released. They can always refine the car later, but they should be congratulated for building a brand new platform they cared enough to get right, no matter what.

What are you talking about. Considering this has decimated the likes of the Pagani, Bugatti and tied with the Viper ACR around Thermal the NSX has tied if not competed with literally everything in it's class. It was even a second faster than the 675LT around Thermal that commands a 400k price tag...

The new NSX is just too heavy for a supercar. On the other hand the old NSX is purely a driving machine. They are totally two different cars with no relationship in my mind. I think the Honda engineers should have a look on how the new MX5 is made with similar concepts from the old ones. Sometimes revolution is just not as good as evolution.

@skarpheinnsmundsson9741

7 жыл бұрын

the gtr is heavier and r8v10plus is just 150lbs lighter so it´s right in the mix with the class, and the old NSX wasn´t just a pure driving machine it was built on a similar concept as the new one just it was built 25years ago, it was loaded with tech for that era and so is the new one just tech has come along way in those 25years... they have very much in common from a engineering standpoint but are seperated by a quarter of a century. And one thing to add is that they don´t have the same name but just the acronym NSX is the same, old one is New Sportscar eXperimental but new one is New Sports eXperience and according to all the reviews the new one fits that name perfectly.

Nice review but with a few errors. The original NSX has a rev limiter set at 8000 rpm, not 7500. Only the NSX Automatic which had 252 Hp had it set at 7500 rpm and that's not the NSX you would want. During it's 15 year lifespan, the NSX was evolving constantly, although most of the changes are underneath. I happen to own a very good '98 NSX to which I've added a lot of modifications to keep the up to date performance wise and it still is a absolutely fun and amazing car to drive. I have been in the new NSX (one of the pre-production models) on the Spa track in Belgium and the new NSX feels amazing. Honda did want to just build another supercar like a R8 or Huracan or 570S, but do something new and they did. Simply put, with the new NSX, Honda has built a kind of Porsche 918 for a fraction of the price and then still has something new to add. It is basically the example of what future supercar will be like.

Gee man, I wonder what else had an analogue driving experience back then. Oh wait! It’s EVERY SINGLE SUPERCAR! They don’t have it anymore, but you don’t hear people complaining about how the 458 isn’t analogue enough! You guys don’t even understand the point of the nsx. It was never a fun little sports car. It was a actual supercar, and so is the new one.

You forgot to mention that it's infotainment system is not as good as the idrive on a BMW and that it lacks the virtual cockpit of the Audi, also you forgot to mention how much could we save if we compared prices through carwow 😂

The first positive review of the new NSX that I have seen or read from any online reviewer, Wow!

ok first of all, thanks for the audio fix. I've been following Matt since years and think his reviews are the best (even better than CH. I'm a big fan of Matt) but this one just felt like he's a JDM fanboy or he has been paid in surplus by Honda to be extra generous to the car.

4:24 that's some honest/blunt reviewing right there ;-)

I would like to see reviews of the old cars. Like if you agree!

much better edit Matt. Thanks!

In 20 years, car guys who hated this new one will sing it's praises. Just like the original.

Anyone remember when Jeremy Clarkson drove the NSX on Gran Turismo 4 and then compared the time in real life on the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca? lol

The original looks 10x better. I'd buy both and put the modern internals in the original's body, if I had tons of money of course.

my gosh that original NSX is a beauty, a really unique supercar, just like the Skyline GTR R34.

One of our lot drove an R34 to Le Mans last year. It's brilliant and easy to fall in love with - not *that* fast by today's standards, but has a beautiful feel to all the controls. It was a stock one owned by Nissan - hard to find unmodded ones!

nicely done..thumbs up

Thankfully both cars look fantastic! I wouldn't mind owning either of these.

Great machines, the new NSX is a car that precedes a new wave of technological enginnering cars, however the old NSX will still be pattern as few other great marvells like the 959, now they may not be as mind-blowing as their new generations... But... I'm still choosing the old NSX. Cool videos and great cars!

i am so glad that honda made this new nsx so good...great job!

The problem with the new NSX is that the old one offered supercar performance at a much lower price, the new one is pretty much as expensive as Porsches, R8's, Ferrari's, Mclarens, etc. And it's probably not as good.

the new one sits about the same place compared to others as the old one did just right in the middle price wise and cheaper then all you mentioned. And your probably not as good means jack shit as no real comparision has been done compared to it´s rivals but what we have seen seems to indicate that it´s just as good as most but offers far more tech so it´s price can be considered a bargain for it´s class. There is no problem with the new NSX other then peoples constant badge snobbery around it´s price and whining about it´s tech but for those who have an open mind will see how good it really is and will enjoy it for what it is.

Who are the potential buyers of the new NSX? Honda tuners I talked to in Japan in May said customers will not get the new NSX because it will be too expensive. The tuners will not get any business either. Customers will rather refresh their old S2000 with new parts and pay 20 000 USD for a new K-tech (insert different company) built engine than buy a new NSX. The 1. gen NSX was 60 000 USD in 1990 and competition was 110 000 USD + (911 and Ferrari). Average household in the US was 55 000 USD in 1990 and is the same today. Why would and potential customers pay 156 000 USD for a Honda (with no NSX legacy the last 10 years) when they can get a 911 GT3 RS for the same performance, more prestige and price incl. better resale value? What will Honda link the new halo car to in branding and marketing? They have one "performance model" at the moment (UK built Type R) and maybe the S660 in Japan, but that is hardly a sports car. First gen NSX had F1 victories, Senna, CRX, Prelude, Civic SIR and the Integra.
