    Jay Leno really should buy a large piece of property outside of LA and create his own Top Gear-like track where he could really push these cars without having to worry about speed limits. Who's with me!?

    What a great review! So comprehensive in every way down to the design and engineering detail based on discussions with Michelle and Ted. Thank you Jay Leno and your crew for making this possible. Thank you to Honda, Ted Klaus and Michelle Christensen for the development of an outstanding Supercar. Sometimes the best kept secrets are the ones that are mostly kept quiet and in the case of the NSX this couldn't be more true. Just like the original NSX it took many years for the world to fully appreciate its brilliance. The Lexus LFA being yet another example.

      Statistically you will probably get less attention from the police in a black car (or white) of the same make and model then red, yellow, orange or any one of those colors young blond girls seem to delight in. I know that sounds a little feminist, but it only takes a little paying attention on the road to understand that it is mostly a true statement.

      I was also frustrated before they explained that they are directing air through the vehicle not just over it which can increase drag. Drag coefficient would also be a different number for those vehicles with the aero components etc. etc.. Low drag coefficient is more important in a vehicle designed for low fuel consumption imo.

    As a retired Human Factors Engineer, and former race driver I found the original NSX headroom of 36.3" too low for a large majority of possible buyers. I think they used the ergonomics of the Japanese drivers as a baseline. I noticed that the latest model now has headroom of 38.3" which was, in my opinion, a better number. By the time you add a helmet to the average race driver you will find that even more room will be a benefit.

  • @bizzwoofer
    @bizzwoofer 8 лет назад +11

    Everyone is hating on the new NSX. Call me crazy, but I'd take this thing in a heartbeat over a new Dodge Hellcat or even alot of the Porsche lineup such as the cayman. To me, it's more meaningful, the aesthetics and overall design and with Honda you know the parts are true to life and quality. Really a Honda-lover's dream car I'd say. Also, I absolutely LOVE how the air flows through the design of the body, it's SO cool. You could say I'm in love with this car, reminds me (sort of, though different distinctly) of a Trans-Am or 300GT, of course more modern and updated.

    • @McVerne
      @McVerne 8 лет назад +2

      I would agree if the new NSX wouldn´t be much more expensive than all of those examples you listed up. It would be great if it came with a Caymans or Hellcats pricetag. But it´s more in the (pricewise) league with a Porsche Turbo or a Dodge Viper and almost up to the cheapest available Ferrari. And I think you would have way more fun in any of those and they also have their own unike design, wherelse the NSX looks kind of like a supercar from a arcade racing game where they didn´t bother with original licenses. Acura dealer would have a hard time to explain to me, why I should buy this over a Nissan GTR which outperforms it and is 50k cheaper...

    • @bizzwoofer
      @bizzwoofer 8 лет назад +1

      You're right about the price, and strictly looking through the lens of a buyer you make good points, but If I had the money (and I know it's a dream scenario for the great many) I'd definitely get one. Maybe wait a few years for the price tag to drop on this one, it is brand new out the gate of course.

      yes, and of course point made. If you factor price into the equation it's fair to say, it may lose in the value measure. Of course, it's truly a luxury buy and I'm simply basing my opinions off the idea that money isn't a factor. The new NSX is certainly spendy, and you won't be approaching one anytime soon without the bankroll, that's for sure. Cheaper HP can definitely be found elsewhere, but if you are in love with the aesthetics and performance like I am, you simply won't care.

    Did I hear something about light weight, or keeping in spirit with the old NSX? What a joke. This thing weighs 3800 pounds. The real NSX weighs 3200 at most, and as little as 2800.

      Adolf Hitler Eh, atleast it has 6 times the horse power and I'm pretty sure the new NSX would completely dust the old NSX around any track right now with its torque vectoring wheels everyone made fun of the old NSX when it first came out too saying it's a garbage car but now people are using the excuse "it doesn't look like the old NSX" to hate on it.
      Lol, like they're going to design a car to look like it's from the 90's or something don't get me wrong I like 90's cars but come on let's be realistic here this is 2017 not 1990s with cassette tapes and boom boxes.

      it's about the whole driving experience with that car
      not just some numbers on a chart
      the new car is "faster" and "grips harder" but it's dull to drive and too heavy to be a true sports car threat
      the lexus LFA is infinitely more special than the new NSX
      old NSX all day and everyday

      ***** New NSX gets hate for no reason same thing they said with the new GT-R on how it was "dull" or took no "skill" to drive because of computers, etc.
      It was pretty funny to be honest. And also to be bad so sad sucks to suck.

    Jay's been in the garage way to long, I think the leaded gas is starting to effect his thinking; so between the pretty blond designer and the nerdy engineer Jay went for a ride in shinny NSX with the nerdy engineer.
