So a fun story about the NSX. I worked as an engineer at the Honda Anna Engine Plant in Ohio back in the late 90's. They had an employee improvement plan where as you made suggestions for improvement, you got points if that improvement was implemented. At the end of the year you could spend your points on gifts, etc. One prize was a weekend with the NSX (we had one at our factory parked outside with other fleet vehicles). My supervisor won the NSX for a weekend and he took me out in it over a lunch break. We tore up the back roads for a half hour. It was an amazing experience!

Hi Doug, the "Half Antenna" button wasn't only for aesthetic purposes. It was so you don't damage the antenna when you drive your NSX inside buildings with low ceilings or low roof parking areas, a common thing in Japan. Also because the antenna was something like 50 cm long at full length.
was thinking about this but i feel like it would still be low enough not to matter since the car is already so low. More likely for high speed to prevent damage is my guess.
Don`t have this half antenna feature in my 1988 RX 7 FC. But if I listen to CD or MD ( depending what is installed ) , the antenna dissapears ...
One of the biggest antennas I've seen
I assumed Doug was old enough to know this!

Excellent review, Doug, as usual. I just wanted to add a few points that I think are important and worth to be mentioned: Honda is still manufacturing and providing ALL PARTS for the NSX cars up to date, no matter which year it's been built. Moreover, later models parts are compatible with earlier ones, they are fully interchangeable. You can even change earlier popping lights to late fixed ones or vice versa.
The blank button on the console of the model you reviewed is for the headlights height setting which curiously was an option.
The NSX was the first mass production car that had a full aluminum chassis.
Last fact/feature: the engine was the first in the world to have titanium rods to improve the revs
Honda manufacturing all parts has not been my experience, a lot of NSX-specific, non-maintenance parts are now discontinued - windshields, for example. If you have a source for parts I'd be interested :)
@@victorzaccardo well I'm sorry to read that. In France there is an NSX club who can maybe help you. I'll check to find their contact. Now maybe it will not work for parts like lights or bumpers cause safety regulations are different but for the rest of the parts it should be OK. I'll check and get back to you 👍
NSX rods were an alloy that actually only have a small amount of titanium. Rods in the C6 Z06 were actually full forged titanium aftermarket rods supplied by either Pankl or Mahle.
That is probably not accurate I'm afraid; either in availability or interchangeability. Case in point would be the cruise control module (don;t remember the exact part name). The module in my '99 died, and it was not available any longer. Unfortunately several different P/N modules were used, and it is a guess as to whether or not interchangeability is possible. It might be, but it's a rather high cost risk to take as they are generally not returnable, even from Honda/Acura.
That said, this was my experience. I may have a lazy dealership, so if you have a supplier, I'm all open to suggestion.
Really disappointed you didn’t talk about senna, the 8k rpm, and vtec.
I like Doug, but his videos are 80% quirks and features and 20% driving - not really talking much about the actual performance of the car....
@@wesleywalls7582 right! Which is what most people are curious about especially if they’re just looking for reviews of what they might get if they’re in the market. However, this isn’t just any car. Really missed the ball on heritage here. He did mention there are tons of stories for this car but didn’t even bother quickly talking about the most important. Senna.
And New Sports eXpermental =NSX
@@dw4lubu Just proves that Doug doesn't know SHIT about cars...
He's showing the car to people who have never seen one in person. It's actually really informative from a practical perspective instead of a figurative one like most reviewers have always given. He has to know much more than he talks about but a lot of the history and mechanical specifications are not relative to the subject matter that Doug is showcasing and reviewing, what it's like to actually drive the car.

Still can’t believe how bold and daring Honda was back in the day.
This was 1990. Great economy great cars and risk.
@@zuranku yeah no kidding, 80s and early 90s Japan was no budget on everything lol...most of Japanese manufactures had multiple sports cars being produced at once...most any manufacture that isn't high end has one sports car if that...and its usually re-badged or has borrowed parts.
All the Japanese companies dropped sports cars back then. Supra, VR4, RX7, 300ZX, etc. As for other Hondas the Del Sol was also really beautiful especially with the targa top off. Del Sol was my first car 21 years ago and I was hoping to score an NSX one day but not for the price they are asking. I settled on a used S2000 and feel satisfied with it.
Fun Fact: Ayrton Senna had a hand in the development of the NSX.
Another cool fact: Gordon Murray got his inspiration to start developing the McLaren F1 (arguably the greatest road car ever made) right after driving an Honda NSX.
The Honda NSX might be the reason why the greatest supercar ever made exists.
Another fact, a stroked reinforced twin turbo NSX can give a McLaren F1 a run for its monetary worth. I've always liked the first gen NSX but I don't like the design of the car revolves around the V6 Accord drivetrain.
RIP
@@JoRgEChavez-to2xd but they didn't revolve around the Accord V6. The engine was from Honda's V10 formula1 platform. They just deleted 4 cylinders. In the 90s Honda was the top F1 manufacturer when they were teamed up with Mcleran.
@@johnroe3915 That was during the late 80s toward the end of the turbo era. They were 1.5L V6 turbocharged engines. Honda during the V10 and V12 90s fell off. That's when Ferrari took over.
Maybe if Honda put that security light on the civic and accord they wouldn’t get stolen as much 😂
Underrated comment
Doug is a type of guy who shoots a video of the early NSX without mentioning Senna's name at all.
Cause he didn't know.
I there is a special senna edition nsx. He also worked with Honda on development handling. He also drove an nsx himself.

Actually, you can operate climate control manually. Just push “mode” and auto mode will be switched to manual one. And push “auto” to switch back to automatic climate control.
Do you also happen to know why there are 2 blank buttons? I own a 91' and they controll fog lights, they are not blank. I also dont have cup holders, but a way larger storage between the seats. Didnt know they changed that later on.
Doug has reviewed the interior controls of hundreds of cars and he can't even figure out the ventilation settings on a Honda. The fact that the display shows that the auto setting is on is a clue that there's a way to turn it off!
@@evenask my guess those blank buttons were for the heated seat controls i could be wrong
@@jaimeramirez-perez7198 No, I have them in my car, and they controll fog light + light higth. But I wonder why they are blank in the later car. Like, the later car still have the same lights to my knowledge.

About cup holder I can tell you that you can buy special thing (for example, from Honda Accord VI), which will separate large storage between seats into 2 cup holders.
Never seen an NSX in that color probably was never made available for the NA market. Such a stunning, yet simple, design. I'll end up owning one of these before I cease to exist.
I really miss those clean and simple designs of the 90s and 2000s cars😔
Same. I feel like the cars now are so big, boxy, and complicated-looking
Car makers now care too much about aerodynamics. That often makes cars too much complicated
That’s why I love the new proto z, refreshingly simple compared to designs like the new Supra
Agreed but I don't like the front. It's toooo simple
All the Japanese sports cars from the 90s so amazing. Simple clean reliable
Horsepower was 270 in the 3.0L manual, when equipped with the automatic transmission it was 252 hp. The 3.2L with the manual had 290 hp.
In Japan, all cars are limited to 276hp due to the law known as gentlemen’s agreement. Even the later 3.2L is still restricted to 276hp in Japan where in the US it’s tuned to 290hp.
@@lordmaster5522 it is labeled as only having 276hp in japan but it indeed had 290hp like the exported cars. It was and still is a funny law but they definitely make more then the 276hp.
@@lordmaster5522 Only advertised have 276 HP. NSX JDM version still can reach more than that in dyno.
I think that was before SAE adjustment, J32 is around 250hp
@@6speedvtec789 I think Doug was referring to 250hp at the wheel while Acura/Honda spec it 270hp at the crank. So there is about a 20hp drivetrain loss which makes sense.
I love watching Doug’s videos with my son. When it gets to the Doug Score, we end up shouting at the iPad to see who can guess his score!
In my opinion this is a perfect sports car. Looks awesome, very simple and yet so good interior, the engine ? yeah not so powerful , but it is pretty good. Trunk? it has a nice trunk for what it is!. And finally, the driving feeling and handling. The NSX has it all, so for me i can say it is the "perfect" sports car!
How dare my dream car from my teenage years become unattainable to my adult self!
god I was just thinking that
Sadly this happens a lot with all our affordable dream cars which become not affordable😂
@@Jmoraa damn couldn’t have said it better, you find your dream car as a kid Bc it’s a decent price you know you could get it and bam it’s worth triple the price it was 20 years ago
I know its no NSX but old 1980's Toyota MR2's are awesome cars! I had one when i was younger and it was a blast to drive!
Countach, F40, Testarosa, Diablo, and THISSSS
All well out of my price range. They all had a hand in sparking my art interest. All are beautiful in different ways. Hell, I even dug the XJ220. Bloody amazing vehicles, even if the Countach and Testarosa were meh driving cars.
Nah Doug. The half button is so you can pull into a low ceiling garage without the antenna hitting the ceiling. Super common in Japanese cars.
He knows, and has said this of similar systems previously. Maybe he just forgot.
Richard Hammond also misattributed it to aerodynamics when reviewing the NSX-R saying the engineers did that to enable higher speeds when the radio was on. It gets frustrating when high visibility journalists make these kinds of mistakes and then you spend the next 20 years correcting the internet hivemind about it.

11:36 - I remember the front wheels were 15" and the rear wheels were 16", which could also be considered a quirk. Around 1996, they received a new design and were increased to 16" and 17" respectively.
Did the 16/17 drive better? Any performance increase?
actually late 1994 (same year as the one in the video) received the larger wheels. He mentions 1995-96 for the targa which was def 1995 also

Get back to your boat, Boat wizard.
Wiiiiizard you can now add a WiiiizScore to your NSX video, so you steal his idea :D
WIZARD! MAH CAR BEEN BREAKIN APART!
Another thing that made the NSX special was it was one of the first street cars with variable valve timing, which was a HUGE thing in F1 in the late 80s and early 90s. Honda was big in F1 at the time. They took their variable valve timing and put it in the NSX. And VTEC was born.
I'm old enough to remember the original magazine reviews on this car. At the time, it was regarded as nice, but underwhelming--reviewers walloped it hard for only making 250 hp compared to it's rivals. I do like the canopy-style roof---even in 2021, it still looks fresh and futuristic
“A lot of people know the NSX as a targa model..” me, sitting here, unaware that it was ever offered with a removable roof...
Only in since 95
I only know about the convertible version because of a brief appearance in Fast and Furious four and as I'm not American, for me it is the Honda NSX, not the Acura.
I would absolutely prefer the fixed top.
The hardtop is nearly always better looking than the convertible (Toyota 2000GT, Aston Martin DB6 etc).
The targa top just made it a worst driving car. Like any car you take the top off of that wasn't designed as a convertible first
Great review Doug! As an NSX owner I never noticed that the AC recirc buttons were profiled as a "bloated NSX" cool to point out the quirk.
A few corrections: the original NSX has 270 HP not 250, and you said that this is somewhat of an ordinary engine. I would say that is in fact an extraordinary engine; it was Honda's first VTEC "yo" in a production car, it also has titanium connecting rods and an 8,000 rpm redline. Honda was at it's peak in F1 racing during that era and they wanted to show off with the NSX. So, that's not your everyday minivan V6.
The wheels are 15" in front as you said, but they are 16" in the rear. It was purposely double staggered to make room for a dead pedal and to make the pedal placement proper (unlike it's Italian competition) and to make a low sleek hood-line. Those little wheels are super light since they are forged. By the way from the factory they came with bespoke super soft and sticky Yokohamas and a what many would consider a "track alignment" so grip was incredible even with the relatively small contact patches.
This is also the 30th anniversary of the NSX. Unfortunately it's during covid so Honda could not have a big celebration of it's cost-no-object, hand built, 90's flagship vehicle this year. And yes the ignition key is cool too, it's heavy as you mentioned, but it's also made of Monel alloy which does not react to sweat. One final design aspect to point out--the whole chassis and body is aluminum, a first for production cars, and its a semi-monocoque design, not your typical uni-body.
So the NSX is special, and people like me who wanted one in high school can finally attain one. That's really why the prices are steadily rising.
TLDR. It’s just a spicy Honda Accord with a body kit and the engine in the wrong hole
He was half right. The automatics were 250 hp, but the manuals were 270 hp. Also all of the 3.2L engines were 290 hp, but rated at 276 hp in Japan due to the gentleman's agreement.
It was also the first "production" car with an electric power steering system when the 95-96 NA1s came out (and the NA2s from 97-05). I have a 97 and I love the fact that the electric assist turns off once you hit 37MPH so you have much more steering feel at higher speeds...don't know why other car companies haven't implemented a similar design because it works beautifully IMO.
It might have been first car in US with VTEC but not Honda's first VTEC engine , in Europe we got civics with b16a VTEC engine in 1989 first nsx wasn't released till 1990
@@DAYTASAN the automatics had electric steering from day one.
The NSX is absolutely my favorite car design of all time. It is definitively timeless. I think as time passes its importance as a magnum opus of auto design will continue to solidify.
Post your "I almost bought an NSX" stories here:
My sad story goes as follows. Back in 2017 I got the bug to buy one. Took me about a year to find the right one. Finally in 2018, I found a 2001 6 speed, Red, tan interior, 99% stocked, 68000 miles, garaged California NSX. The 2001 version was the last year with pop-up headlights too. All service done at a highly respected Honda/Acura repair shop for most of its life. Owner let the pros take care of the NSX, he maintained all service records too. He wanted I believe $74K for it.
So off to my local credit union I went. That did not work out, they deemed the NSX too old of a vehicle. What I said? I then went to PenFed. They could not give all the funds. I had to come up with $20K in cash to make up the difference. Plus, the seller would NOT budge on the price. I offered $68K for the beautiful red NSX, but he would not go for it. So $6000 was the deal breaker.
I was so planning to drive that beauty everyday. I even cleared out my garage for her.
Sad, but probably a good move financially. If you can't lay cash comfortably, don't.
Should of sold drugs for the weekend to come up with the money. The car is probably gonna be worth much more soon
You wouldn't have been able to afford it anyways. if you can't come up with 6k cash you can't afford to maintain it. Plus paying back the loans.
I got a chance to buy one 1991 NSX with 57k miles for $39k. I sold my daily the next week and bought the nsx and had it since. Used it as a daily for almost a year untill I got a new daily driver. Never regret it (obviously) was always my dream car as a kid, and Im glad I bought it. Today I would not be able to pay ~$60k for it.

The "Half" button is for clearance in car parks and domestic garages (Japanese models only). In other markets the "Half" button became front fog lights and the "blanks" were used for heated seats or light adjustment.
In 1990 when I first saw the NSX I was in love, and now when I see a pic/vid of it from time to time I still fall in love with it. Its just amazingly proportioned not only horizontally, but vertically too, from all angles, sides, front and rear! There are maybe two dozen cars as simply eloquently designed as the NSX in the passed 100 years!
Buy an NSX if you can acquire one, and dont drive it keep it in protection wait 10-20 years, I'm not the Creator I dont know for certainty the future but it'll be a supe high collectors assest as more years pass especially extreme clean samples.

Great vid Doug. But you didnt mention the main fact that this car is so valuable. The Honda NSX heritage from Formula 1 (the central engine comes directly from this). Honda was 6 times in a row world constructors champions (2 with Williams and 4 with MacLaren team - 1986 to 1991). And Senna have a famous chapter driving this cars (wearing mochacins) in Suzuka. Cheers!
Thanks for the awesome video Doug! Love the NSX, now you have to find a 3rd gen Prelude with 4 wheel steering
Fun fact: Ayrton Senna helped they build this car. He was very critical about it's rigidity and the engineers had to change it.
He didn't even mention Senna 😔
I already knew that
No, that has been so overblown it’s unreal. He drove a McLaren/Honda F1 car and so drove the NSX for promotional purposes. He even said “I don’t really know what to tell you for a road car”. Don’t act like he worked in the design room for two years, he drove it once and said what he thought was bad about it. The NSX was an overpriced accord with a fancy body, a GT86 is a way better buy for the same approach to car design.
@@nunyabusiness896 I agreed with you until you said it was an overpriced accord. The early gen nsx’s were matching Ferrari’s performance at its time, for 4x less the cost.

This once again proves that the 90s led in automobile innovation: The NSX, Supra, 300zx, Corvette, Camero, Trans Am, RX7, 3000gt, Stealth, Mustang etc... The summer of the 90's was a line up vintage vehicles and I was blessed to be apart of it with my 1994 300z.
I remember going to a car meet and there was an nsx, but the owner actually let me sit in it... Best day of my life it felt so unreal yet so exciting, the nsx has been my dream car for soo long I can't remember it's just a masterpiece of engineering 🙌
Door handles are hidden to not clutter the doors.
Keyhole: hi there.
@man0z keyholes should always be buried in the most hidden spots. They look fucking ugly.
@@jackdren9974 it looks ugly now. Back in the day, nobody cares. Am I right?
ferari: have you seen mine?
@@superlight1999 it was a necessity back in the day so no one complained, but having it visible on a modern vehicle with keyless entry is a big no no.
General Acurobi! You are a bold one!
"Only" having a six cylinder never hurt the Porsche 911.
This is true, however the Flat 6 design definitely mixes things up along with stuff like the straight 6 from other manufacturers
It’s still a boring car
@@jonaveul sure as hell beats the new one, plus it has incredible handling
now it'll go up more in value
911 never forget
I came here because I saw this same model of NSX yesterday. It's my first time seeing this in person and rarely shows up on the road, I really appreciate this legendary car What a looker!
heres why doug demuro is shooting up in value and heres why he is the most valuable youtuber,
Me: "Okay, I'll see what kind of bids they have"
Seconds later
Me: "Nope"
The numbers Mason! What do they mean??
42k. Wow! With mileage you probably have another 100k miles you can put on it, but it's weird it is still so expensive now.
i’m so broke i can’t even afford a bread crumb. i love this car is so beautiful. the styling is stunning.
Go steal one
Hope god blesses you
Go steal a bread crumb
@@nmzanie steal is haram
@@akram5701 a what ?
Being so low to the ground and great looks , I can only imagine how crazy fun the nsx is on tight turns.
Here in Houston we have maybe 5 of these that I’ve seen. Over the years 🤗. I just have to salute Acura for this design. Timeless
Well now it’s going to go up even more in value because of this video
Making it further out of reach for me...
It's not gonna be worth it anymore if it's 458 money. Same with every popular jdm car
Correction, the wheels are 15" front 16" rear, the 3.0 engine is 270 hp, the climate control has auto and manual controls. Great video.
I noticed the wheels. Was wondering about climate control. Mine is never automatic and I frankly forgot how you switch. Doug missed the funky side vents that stick up up when pressed on the sides. Figured that would be his favorite quark...
@@MikeNSX 👍
👍
@D W, correction for your correction. The model he reviewed is from Japan where they have the “gentlemen” agreement where HP is limited. And in the US, the Acura NSX had two engines. The manual 3.0V6 is 270hp while the automatic 3.0V6 is 252hp. In Japan, all Honda NSX uses the detuned 252hp engine regardless of manual or auto. However, in the US because it’s badged as an Acura instead of Honda, the manual is tuned to 270hp to distinguish it from the lesser Honda brand.
@@lordmaster5522 but i think the later JDM models have over 270hp too
It's crazy how cars we liked, and had as kids are now how we wanted the cars of our parents late teens and early 20s
Dear Doug Demuro, in my NSX, near the handbrake, there are all four buttons! Front fog lamp, rear fog lamp, headlight wiper, headlight height. My 1991 NSX 3.0 manual transmission has 274 horsepower! He doesn't have 250!
Doug is the type of guy to wear 3 t-shirts to a wedding instead of his normal 2 because it’s fancier
"One for every year she's away, he said."
4 shirts when he’s at a funeral because its respectful ✊🏻
@@MiamiSunrise lmao
It doesn’t matter if you love an specific kind of car, whenever you see an NSX, you can’t help but stare. Timeless design IMO.
They look even better in person love it!
Not rather timeless i would say, cuz you can clearly tell what era its from.
@@babineaux. The newer version is def timeless with the updated headlights
you know you have done someting well done when an almost 30 year old car is still reliable and works as intended as when it came out from the factory, aaannnd it's price tag is getting up in value, aaaanndd Doug never stops praising the clutch+shifter smothness and precision
Ahh the 90s... When most all car designs were unique and distinctive.
Its shooting up in value because of this video.
Coincidence.
I’d love it if you could do a review of the Nissan GTR R33 that was in the background
I own a 1995 VTEC Prelude and the 94-96 Prelude VTEC was the mini me to this car. Same things you say...feel of manual tranny and clutch , balance, etc......it is almost as fun. The 5th generation Prelude was a a different inferior car. Not many have driven a stock 94-96 Prelude VTEC so they do not know. If you ever get a chance drive one. Great review.
Doug Demuro going to Top Rank. My RUclips subscriptions are coming full circle!
State of the art engineering, timeless design, spectacular reliability, and being a literal automotive icon of the 1990's!
It's about time!
Doug the type of guy to start his order at a restaurant with “THHHHIIIIISSSSSSSS... is my order.”
he would be like First, I will have the chicken parmesan, and then I will take you on a tour of it and give you all of its quirks and features. Then I will have the steak, and get it out on the road and drive it.
@@jsclar 😆😆😆
Just bought this on CarsAndBids amazing car! Thanks CarsAndBids!
Doug didn't even mention full aluminium monocoque and suspension, yes I do love NSXs ; ))
Who remembers Doug's review of the old nsx a few years ago
The old nsx??? Isn't this an old nsx???
@@bilbobaggins4710 he meant the same nsx only the same review
it's a facelift and made for US market
Newer*
Yes
"I'm not sure I can really give you appropriate advice on a mass-production car,"
Senna told the team. "But I feel it's a little fragile."
Ayrton Senna, F1 driver giving his opinion about the nsx prototype after testing it.
Damn he got that a little wrong lol
@@AN2Felllla Maybe his critique helped them to make it even more reliable and just an overall good car
After Senna critiqued the nsx, Honda went back and stiffened the chassis 50%. They listened to him. Thats why the coupe is preferable to the targa top.
Manuel Aguirre this man knows he’s facts. SENNA THE 🐐
@@manuelaguirre1062 I think he actually helped with the suspension setup on track testing, alongside Satoru Nakajima.
Doug has the ability to shoot any car up in value. He controls the market. Dealerships, salesmen, future builders all watch his videos
Absolutely stunning, one of the most beautiful sports car of all !
As cool as the NSX is, I can't take my eyes off the R33s on the back, such a nice and underrated car
Who knows. Maybe he’ll review one of those R33s since he’s at TopRank.
God I wish Nissan and these other Japanese companies could just replicate the 90s cars sell them here with same engines just updated emissions etc etc. They would sell like crazy
@@faekz IKR.
I don't think any Skyline GTR is anywhere close to underrated
I would not mind to have that in my garage!!
Wouldn't mind ?😂
I dream about having that in my garage
Wouldn't mind to have a garage to have that in! 😍
@Riya Yadav I have all of those in my garage , on need for speed payback
Same!
Starting at $240,000, it's yours.
The reason for the half-antenna button is that a shorter antenna is better for FM radio reception, and a longer one better for AM and shortwave radio reception. People don't remember (or don't know that on these MP3 and streaming days), but in those days, I used to adjust the manual extending antenna on my Ford Maverick according to what kind of radio I was planning to listen to. One of the reasons the car drives so well is that Formula 1 champion Ayrton Senna, who at the time was driving for the McLaren-Honda Formula 1 team took part on the car development as a consultant.
Depending on your distance from the radio station transmitter, half extended would give you better reception. A similar feature in my '84 Accord LX.
I feel like I'm always the only person who thinks the NSX was one of the greatest looking cars of all time. **** the etype. This is amazing.
Mentioning the NSX along the E-Type is like comparing a Garfield strip to the Mona Lisa. Both are great but only one is a legend.
@@Jaml321. I take it your talking about the NSX cause I think the same
Me too.
@@Shane-zx4ps Nice try, but the NSX can't hold a candle to an E-Type.
No sir, I have the same opinion. I have a JDM 2000 RZ-S Supra which I wouldn't trade it for nothing in this world but I must agree that NSX NA1 was and still is the best 90's Japanese car as a whole package.
This car will remind me just and forever Wolf" from Pulp Ficfion.
@НАТО в шоке, США обосрались Say good night, Raquel
9 minutes and 37 seconds later..... 👍👍
Hey Doug great video as always, I'm a die-hard fan of yours, one of the best personalities on RUclips without a doubt. Got a suggestion for u how about reviewing a 1990-1993 Opel Lotus Omega, one of my favorite 90s sports cars ever. Not widely known because they were only sold in the UK and it was considered street illegal in its time but for its time it was a colossally fast car with a top speed of 176 mph and could Sprint up to 100 mph in 11 seconds( not very fast in todays standards but could leave cars like the Ferrari testarossa gasping back then. It featured a twin turbocharged twin cam engine linked to the same six speed gear box used in the Corvette ZR-1 at the time. Believe it or not, it was considered to be the worlds fastest four seater four door saloon car in it's day. Great car would love to see a review.
Oh my God these Skylines in the background, I'm in love!
Finally a super car that isn’t an endless money pit
Hello guys! What think about this ?)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ruclips.net/video/29PxWwN9_p4/видео.html
A supercar that you could potentially use as a daily driver. We may never see anything like this again.
Yeah, a super car that's as affordable and anything to maintain. Not sure if there's anything else like it.
But still its isn't as legendary as Italian exotics like the Testarossa and Diablo
“ I’m Zach and this is money pit”
God i love this car, shame it's so expensive over here tho
Expensive ? Man... we Indian don't even get to see here
Over here? You mean everywhere......
How much is it in the states?
@@rubenlay610 most of the listings on autotrader are $60k or more
@@bryantyoung3207 put in another 5k and you can ship it worldwide. So prices are kinda the same worldwide (except some countries with idiotic import taxes)
Such an amazing car! And yes it didn't make sense to buy that back then as a kid , but now. It's a must!! I've always loved the nsx I'm gonna get one one day. That pearl white color is so impossible to find..
This was most definitely my poster car as a teenager. I had a MR2 turbo at the time, but lusted for the Pearl white NSX...!
This is the official Japanese Ferrari
It weirdly looks better than the Ferrari from that time!
Dont forget the mitsu gto which was only like 4 tenths of a second slower than the nsx in the 1/4 mile
Yessir. And the Ford GT is the American Ferrari.
@@bderrick4944 Yea, loved the movie Ford Vs Ferrari. Ford GT is one of the most legendary American supercars!
@@stunnasaad Definitely. I also love the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F40
