Wow excellent precision. Now all they have to do is put that kind of passion into making a luxurious interior instead of making them look like cheap home audio systems from the late 1990's, they will sell way more NSX's
Honestly, I have driven a Ferrari 458 and it doesn't look any better. People criticize the NSX for f.e. having plastic gear levers, but the 458 has this as well and other cheaper finishes.
How is it expensive? It outperforms everything in the same priceclass (in terms of performance, value for money, driveability). Carbon parts are available options.
@@djoetma No it doesn't. 570S and 911 Turbo S are both similarly priced and both outperform the NSX. The hybrid system added a huge amount of weight and cost and that was not paid back in real world performance.
NSX handles better than ^those two^, particularly in less-than-ideal conditions. How it handles in the wet is worth the money by itself...no other supercar is nearly as much FUN on a wet surface, and in the end, that value is totally subjective.
@@gazman9468 I'm talking about performance in terms of more than just speed. The hybrid system is a huge pro. You can drive the NSX solely on the electric system like an EV, so entirely quiet with no gas usage. On tracks the difference with the 570S and 911 Turbo S is really small, and in the wet on the Autocar testtrack it destroyed the 570S' time. Don't forget, most people aren't racing drivers. Providing people with a car that is fast yet accessible is a great performance by Honda.
Nissan did not improve GT-R design at all because it is owned by the French and Europeans does not want a non European brand to be better than, well, European brands.
@@djoetma No. Im not crazy. Thats just what i think. Selling "buisness card" at zero profit is in every way better than not selling at all. Btw, not selling (paradox: not selling even with profit!) adds only costs. Afaik this car is not selling well. They should sell NSX at zero profit, they should sell it at the lowest price possible. In this case the profit is not the money. Type R should be non-hybrid. This is the biggest problem with this car - personality and weight. I still love this car.
@@jareknowak8712 It's not a business card. Why do you think this car sells so terrible? People don't want to pay this for a Honda (or any Japanese car). Why should Honda allow these people who in reality don't appreciate their brand, give the opportunity to buy their car against zero profit prices? They don't make money from it and people will still not buy their cars.
Their is lots of comparison videos of racing, but which other hybrid is in sports car class or true torque vectoring?, Or comfortable as a daily driver?, Or is fast but not trying to kill you? Or reliability is best in class?!!!? Really! The NSX is the future in the present! And even though all the sport and hyper cars look and sound great and faster! For the price value...New NSX is best.
Plus! True exotic car owners if they're honest! How much maintenance, and repairs, as well as many issues vs car NSX with far less issues, repair, and maintenance, I believe that Porsche is very good too, but a bastard to fix mid engine if you need to.
video better than the car.. something like 74 units sold last year in the US.. next time maybe they won't bend the design of the halo car to fit into the terrible design language of their sedans.. you could tell that the designers had no freedom.. it's just undesirable.
people be like omg buy prosche 911 turbo s or ferrari or lambo aventador SV instead... they just miss the point that the NSX you can trust a 100% it will go 300.000km with no problems just like a civic. The other supercars have major breakdowns every 50.000km
It's just short of a masterpiece, save for the chintsy interior and wanting upper-range power output. The handling is sheer tits, even being so overweight. But the power is wanting in the upper end ("where's the VTEC, yo?" - Porsche get over 510hp NA in the GT3s - and everyone knows that you can too, if determined, Honda - so wtf gives with these middling output/liter numbers). If it had 100 more lbs/ft and ~150 more hp (and preferably weighed 200-300lbs less, but one can dream) it would be unquestionably the best supercar under $250K. As it is, it tops out around 185mph (pssst - that 'supercar' standard is 200mph, Honda) and gets beat past 120mph by the others in it's price range - that's in dry conditions. In the wet this thing is a boss that can teach a Turbo S or anything else a thing or two about handling.
Most people aren't racedrivers and will be faster in the easy to drive NSX than in a Turbo S or 570S to name two cars in the same pricerange. Both are faster than the NSX in the dry (like you say) in the hands of a capable racingcar driver, but only by a small margin (check the laptimes on fastestlaptimes.com). So in the hands of you and me, the NSX is probably the faster car (assuming you're not a trained track beast). Also, the NSX can be driven on just the electric power unit, so entirely quiet with no gas usage for that time. I'm not sure if this is what the NSX should be and maybe Honda should've made a more extreme car that's just about performance based on speed and next to it a car like this. But even against other supercars, the NSX has a lot going for it.
Not only is the performance lacking but it’s also the numbest, most isolating sportscar I’ve ever driven. Totally numb steering, zero road feel. Just terrible
@@perfectdiversion This is not true. The early base of the design was done by Toshinobu Minami and the tech was developed in Japan. Production and eventual design is indeed American. But the point Dee T is making, concerns the fact that people wanted this to be the output of Japanese excellence. Not an American car with hot rod influenced in the design.
Why? The latest GT-R was designed and is built in Japan, and yet this car is superior to it in almost every way, and destroys the heavy, fat Nissan on the track. It is also sold in Japan as a Honda, and the Japanese have no such qualms about it. "Hot rod influenced"? Such a ridiculous comment means you have no cred at all.
If they ever get a premium interior to match the exterior, that will be the day, along with a proper gear shift lever, audi/mercedes class infotainment and a manual version.
it brings people in to the showroom to buy the MDX and RDX, without it the whole brand would be so boring, just suvs and sedans and no coupes. its about pride and reputation.
easy there, grandpa... there's already a first gen NSX. those with money for one, get one. let's stop living in the past, ok? and do not worry about it being or not profitable. geez
There is so much human intervention - manual labor which would introduce human error. I guess Acura doesn't profit enough from selling this car to investing in a fully automatic factory.
I just bought one because of the Honda quality, reliabilty and performance. Plus it looks awesome in person.

@@perfectdiversion Exactly - and that's why it's such a fantastic car.
Customize 200 pieces for my family
5:35 wouldn't that be a pretty good reason TO use a robot? ???
and now whatch how the "gloryfied" r8 Factory looks compared to this! It looks like a CNC machinal park.......
The problem is the six figure price tag.
Waw....
"up thumb?"
Wait! NSX is not built in Japan? Disappointed.
Werent you supposed to title the video Acura NSX for the lucrative North American market? Dont you dare call that 240SX a 180 or 200 though....
Why? Will less Americans watch it? And they are British, so they know it as a Honda, like the rest of the world apart from the US.
Who put an intergrated restrictive garbage exhaust manifold on a super car?
"supercar"
If they ever get a premium interior to match the exterior, that will be the day, along with a proper gear shift lever, audi/mercedes class infotainment and a manual version.
Why is not build in Japan, better quality.
And they probably have better English grammar skills than you, fan-boy!
Data overload, arrrgh!
Looks to be Too labour intensive to be profitable
Shouldve kept it simple mid engine like the previous NSX
or go fully Electric like Tesla
Search Battista , it's a full electric 1900hp supercar
it brings people in to the showroom to buy the MDX and RDX, without it the whole brand would be so boring, just suvs and sedans and no coupes.
its about pride and reputation.
easy there, grandpa... there's already a first gen NSX. those with money for one, get one. let's stop living in the past, ok? and do not worry about it being or not profitable. geez
Well, its American muscle after all.
this thing not selling though what they building for lol
We don't need that many Accords in the world every day!
There is so much human intervention - manual labor which would introduce human error. I guess Acura doesn't profit enough from selling this car to investing in a fully automatic factory.
Please let foolish pple keep trashing this car till I can afford one day
that "custom built" chair for the alignment rack is just a regular office chair...
honder.
