Thanks for watching!
I have a strange feeling this car is going to go through a similar situation as the LFA. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed no-one really cared about the LFA when it came out. Now everyone loves it years later and finally appreciates it. I think these NSX's are certainly going to be the new "underrated" super car at some point in the future.
The reception of the LFA was tainted by its astronomically high asking price. No one doubted that it was an engineering marvel, but no one who could afford it valued it as highly, and as it was notably less powerful than its price competitors, it undersold tremendously. In 2017, the NSX’s was a similar story. I think most people who’ve driven or owned these are hard pressed to say that it isn’t a great car, because frankly, it is. Minus the somewhat tame driving experience, it performs extremely well. But for the price, there’s a bevy of better options. People simply didn’t want to pay Audi R8 money for a Honda. There was also a bit of bitterness towards the spirit of the car, whether it’s a ‘true NSX’ because of the electrification, etc. The Type S just improves upon an already wonderful machine.
@@frogogogo This car is way faster than an Audi R8
expect the lfa is actually cool and this is an ugly hybrid
@@lilgloomfnord People thought the LFA was ugly when it was new. And people criticized the Porsche 918 when it was new for being a hybrid.
No one wants a hybrid 600 hp automatic supercar
Speedometer is so high tech that it blur’s itself out😎 this type S is awesome though. The nsx was definitely a car before its time
it blurs itself cuz this guys a dingbat lol
Acura itself is a huge sleeper brand. Sure, they aren’t the fastest, but they do so many things great. If you wanna sacrifice reliability, you can easily get some work done to a different Acura with a tune and after-market parts.
@@Cynical496 oh yeah!y first car was a 2009 Acura TL and i loved it
@@TTGamingTrinh I’ve had an 2000 accord, 2006 modded civic and now a 2016 highly modded TLX top trim. Love everyone and never had any transmission or engine problems.
That blurring of the speedo was to conceal how it leaped up to warp factor 2 speed for a moment or two. Some specifications must remain secret.
I just LOVE this Type-S.
Get one then 😉😏😩
@@whosthis1230 you gonna pay for it?
@@whosthis1230 There aren't any left lol
@@TheMstwntdLMSV123 course i got a few million monopoly bucks 😉
You've gotta drive this!
This powertrain is very advanced. Honda did an amazing job. I’m shocked they don’t get more love. Even the base NSX was amazing to me. It took so long to develop these but for good reason. Well polished and great driving product.
New Sport Xperimental!
They don't deserve the love! They shouldn't have made the NSX Type S limited production!
@@NativeWarrior081 even though the production is limited you can’t deny that they did something impressive.
Its a v6🤨 what Yu expected
@@NativeWarrior081you have VAG money to give them? Especially for the loses they had for the 2017 models that didn’t sell well because of asking price?
So sick. I’ll never understand why some people don’t like it
It's sick but it's not $130k sick. There's better cars for less money imo
@@ralkia Wrd for 130 u could get a r35
@@ralkia this cost more than 130k. This has tech of million dollar car. This ain’t no cheaply made corvettes. You should say that bout BMW I8
@@styptic6182 ur 12 lol
It’s competes with the r8 as a livable super car
Exterior looks absolutely amazing.
Interior looks absolutely unremarkable.
I laughed out loud! lol 😆 🤣
Who cares? If you care that much about interior spectacle, get a Mercedes crossover.
@@thrillhousecycling7260 a lot of people care. You spend most of your time looking at the interior, if you’re going to pay a ton of money, it should look the par.
@@xwarped83 exactly and that goes for the GTR as well.
@@BenBrrown then buy gt r
Everyone made fun of this car when it came out a few years back. It's too heavy! Overpriced! It's just a Honda! Hybrids are crap! Shoulda been a manual! I don't understand why the hate as it's a baby Porsche 918 for 1/10th the price. The performance is staggering as well. The NSX is reliable, has the ability to get an oil change or any service at any Acura dealer for pennies compared to it's super car rivals, all while being comfortable for daily use. I was one of the few that loved it back on release and still do even more now. I can't wait to see everyone change their minds on the second gen nsx in 5-10 years just like people did with the LFA.
Agree with everything you've said. This thing is a beast.
This thing is a masterpiece but the $169000 starting price puts it WAY out of my budget LOL
True this is an amazing car to live with
It's nothing less than any other sports cars brand
Don’t compare this thing to the god the Porsche 918 Spyder is. It’s a good car but I wouldn’t make that big of a comparison
@@vwjetta4138 Yeah? Tell me how the tech isn't similar.
such an overhated car. the NSX is right behind the R8 in terms of my favorite supercars...beautiful car in every way.
R8 has a way better exterior and interior not to mention the v10
@@ruskibruski I mean…that’s why it’s my first lol. I’m an Audi guy through and through I think they STILL have the best interiors in the industry. And yea, the V10 is great. The NSX is a special car for sure thoufh
Well.. I have seen the two in person..and the NSX make the R8 look like a corolla
@@urmahLyra lol I have too. I wouldn’t say that’s true by any means, the NSX has a lot more angles to it but they’re both beautiful cars. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder though, so I’m gonna leave it at that- no point in arguing over opinions😅
@@ruskibruski The original R8 was absolutely gorgeous...then Audi ruined it with the facelifts.
Great mention of the steering wheel, because it's something I think a lot of people may not notice how nice a good one can be! Acura has been impressive with comfortable, ergonomic, and well shaped wheels throughout the 2010s, that gives a confident grip and sense of control without being too spartan or aggressive to be comfortable while cruising long distances. You never realize just how much it makes a difference until you've taken thousands of miles upon it. My only wish for mine was that it was heated.
Pure Beauty, I am 63 years old I remember the Gen 1 NSX, This type s is a work of art .
Stunning sound! The acceleration is astonishing
Can you imagine this car with a light and compact, high revving V8? It would be perfect.
First comment to say beans.
Damn u got me
Well played..
True
Last comment say fart 💨
White rice pls
2:28 Topher's getting an S2000 - Easter egg confirmed
I love the fact that when you put it in Track mode...the infotainment turns off, because it's just not important in Track mode. 👌👌
I love these things, they're incredible.
Crazy how so many are caught up on the interior when most supercar interiors are also very barebones and nothing special.. They're not supposed to be. You buy a supercar because it's a supercar, for it's driving characteristics, not it's interior or infotainment. If you're caught up on that, get a real luxury car for dailying. This you bring out on weekends or special occasions or whenever you want a real fun driving experience.
Excellent vid as always, the NSX is definitely a special car. Hope one day to be able to one own
Such a stunning car for real, the NSX is one of my dream cars to buy!
We'll start saving. If your lucky within 5 years one of those S-es are for sale. Unfortunately they will hold their value I'm sure.
I love what they did with the front end on the Type-S. Went from being okay looking to to downright sexy.
dude, i LOVE that you ramp it up and blur out the speedometer. fantastic!
I love the NSX Type S. When the 2nd gen NSX was first introduced, it received so much criticism in the Exotic/Supercar class, but since then it has just proved it was a automobile built before it's time.
It never seemed to move the needle the way the 1st gen NSX did though. The 1st gen NSX, especially the last model year is my favorite car ever built. Just about perfect.
I saw Jay Leno literally shopping in his NSX. Don't know if he has a Type-S or not though. Love that car.
Honda's pillar game has always been strong, but this is just on another level. It's almost looks like I'm watching a 360 video from this single point.The visibility must be insane, and that's rarely the case with these cars.
it's like a really good handling, steering, suspension regular driving car with awesome feedback yet at the same time ya feel the need for speed - BAMM it's right there like a fricking rocket, love it. I'd go on road trips with you anytime : )
That engine sounds excellent.👌🏿👍🏿😎🌴🌙 That’s great that you were able to get a review from the NSX type S. Love the front of the car and the color.
without question my favorite supercar.. very advanced and versatile....and the looks are amazing.
love the car but his voice is soothing and relaxing me every time i’m watching his video
Really enjoyed watching this video. I completely agree with you on every aspect you mentioned about this car. I was lucky to get my own Type S. Since then I'm getting so impressed every signle day how Acura/Honda designed this car so well. I daily drive my Type S and I cannot wait taking it to the track as I used to with my old 1991 NSX.
You're lucky! How did you get yours? Do you have special connections with Acura or your dealership? Or did you pay a lot more than MSRP?
@@Philmoscowitz No special connection or whatsoever with dealers. I was one of the hundreds who didn't get an allocation from the Acura's original order process. Yeah, I ended up paying a lot more than MSRP. But that's ok because I plan keeping it forever to daily drive and tracking.
@@Philmoscowitz Great name.
Sincerely,
Hong Wei Lo
@@KazuyukiNakayama - That's great, dude. Enjoy it!
The ultimate daily super car. Dated looking interior, sure, but still an absolute monster that can wear sheeps clothing when you want it to. Amazing.
I have no problem with the interior whatsoever. It's fashion. Fashion returns. And when it does, all other cars will look dated. 😀😎
@19:53 Loved the 2nd gen NSX since day 1 and this statement is what I said to all the haters that said it's overpriced. A sub $200k hybrid supercar compared to the competition that's in the millions and can still get excellent fuel economy. Sure it wasn't the top amongst those guys in performance but the tech was there. BMW had the i8 but that thing was nowhere near the performance of the NSX. The NSX has always been my all time favorite but I appreciate this 2nd gen more and snap my neck anytime I see them since they're so rare.
Me personally I'll take the 1st gen over the 2nd gen but both are magnificent
I own a 05 NSX. The 2nd Gen is a fantastic car with brilliant designs. I was torn for a long time about getting one, but for $185k, I just couldn't justify the purchase nor get past the cheap interior and the 6-year-old tablet-like infotainment system. So I eventually bought something else. In addition, while it performs handsomely on roads and tracks, its competitors, from Porsche, Mclaren, etc., can do equally or better with better interiors and technologies in the cockpit. With so many options in this price range, you'll need a lot of love for Honda to buy this car.
I really like the modern NSX, but my only issue is that the interior feels like a Honda Accord inside of there. Like the steering wheel feels nice, but the comfort and quality just felt like I was in an Accord.
I don’t care about what others say I am blown away by this car
this is a proper daily drive supercar u can’t drive a r8 or a lambo daily it’s just not meant to be
This car is smooth , quite and is meant to give u the supercar experience and not annoy others. This is so perfect for ppl who don’t like loud cars but wanna own a supercar this thing is great. It’s actually not that expensive either yes u could get a r35 for lesser that 140k but who cares this car stands for what it is
And ppl who buy this have their own reasons. This is prolly the smoothest and quietest feel u will ever get in a supercar it’s a type of a car that ppl would love to daily drive it’s fule economy isn’t bad for a supercar and it’s all electric mode is perfect to not annoy ur neighbours while leaving 😂
every Cop around will know you on a first name basis - I forgot in the below comments how pretty the exterior paint works with the outstanding body styling/design. I just subbed you channel
Been waiting for this.
Immediately there is a big problem with this car. For a Type S, that interior is simply not exciting and different enough from the base NSX. With how bonkers the exterior looks, it's a shame that Honda didn't experiment with the interior a bit more for the Type S.
Honestly for me I could totally live with that interior knowing I'm driving around in what's basically the Batmobile. But yea it's pretty dated Acura.
Unnecessary, there are plenty of other cars you can buy with a nicer interior, this isn’t trying to be a luxury car
@@user59371 it doesn't have to be a luxury interior. but the dashboard looks like it came out of a sedan
Such a beautiful and yet menacing looking car!
Very exclusive, thanks for bringing this experience to us!
Can you do a proper driving impressions on the TLX Type-S!
ruclips.net/video/-jphoGYq1tI/видео.html
I drive a CR-Z and a lot of stuff about the new NSX reminds me of my car. I wonder if they were being developed at the same time or something.
The NSX was originally supposed to come out around the time of the CR-Z (with a front engine V10) but that powertrain was scrapped due to the '08-'09 recession. There were also plans for an Acura V8 RWD flagship...also scrapped because of the recession.
I said the same thing… I had one as well (Got totaled) 😞… Not the fastest, but most fun car I’ve ever had.
2nd gen NSX is such a sleeper. People that have bashed this car without driving it have said it's unimpressive as soon as they know thay it's a hybrid. Little do they know, those things launch from 0-60 in under 3 seconds
My favourite carrr soo far!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Man is stability very good flat smooth drive very lower car sound amazing real natural not noise dam I love Honda NSX. McLaren 765lt and Honda NSX trust with closed eye the best stability quality sound unique.
Those turbo noises 😍
@5:10 "Quicker shift speed."
It does not shift any quicker in Sport+ mode.
When going from "Sport" to "Sport+" mode, the transmission downshifted. That resulted in higher engine RPMs, making the throttle seem more responsive (it is more torque-y). But it does not shift any faster. It simply lurches forward faster, due to the lower gear.
Oooh yeah another dose of Chillout with new episode of Topher! 💯👍🏼
Very responsible driving, stayed within the speed limit the whole time!
Most of the time. 🤣
This engine sounds incredible
Didn’t think I’d like the appearance as much as the base model, but the Gotham grey matte paint really changes my mind.
Beautiful. Very nice to watch this one. Thanks! 👍
Wish i had money to buy it. Mark up will be insane for this one.
Thanks for this video. I'd love to have this exact same car. Unappreciated except by those who know cars. Heck, even Chris Harris loves it for it's intended purpose: driving really fast.
Mr. Ratis Rides is in love with it too.
Love that 50-blurr pull.. feels fast without being.. fast. you know..
If you've ever had an old Acura Legend you'll know that this engine sounds just like it, but revs higher. Definitely can hear the relationship though.
I'm not really a fan of mid engine car styling but these things look great
I am. I had a Fiero GT with turbo.
Love the slow shots at the end! Hope u keep that for future videos!
all I can say is ACURA nailed it on this one - KUDOS AUDI > such an extremely well rounded excellent daily sports car at an affordable price point = LOVE
Honestly, this car did what it was set out to do and never did anything wrong. It used a very cool powertrain with a lot of practicality and reliability built into it. The interior is not covered in the most incredible interior, but it is still well put together and in a sports car, I could honestly care less for chrome plated door sills. The looks are good and this thing is so nice to see in person. The hate literally stems from the desire for a continuation of the original NSX, which was not going to happen.
I completely agree. 👍
A lot of the initial hate came from reviewers driving pre-production cars that weren't quite sorted. People were already sceptical of the new gen due to the hybrid powertrain, and the early negative reviews about the driving experience cemented that bias for many. Unfortunately, all the positive reviews after its release (and the subsequent updates) didn't sway public opinion much
I had a new 2019 model year with carbon ceramics brakes and other options. Got a hefty deal too from the dealer and got more attention than any lambos and ferraris driving around my town. One guy sneak up on me after parking asking what this was. Memories.
Fantastic car. Honda is great. Look futuristic
Such an underrated car
it´s the best Japanese TT Hybrid AWD Sportscar of the World 👍.
it's a supercar
I’ll say that the most interesting feature of the car is that the speedo goes blurry when ever topher floors it 🤔
I just now realized that the nsx Interior is what that one supercar interior used in every car in GTA is based on
What is max acceleration like in QUIET mode?
Love these videos!!!
Nice sound!
This has always been a tricky one for me. This 2nd gen NSX was the first car I remember reading about where everyone who drove it had a wiiiiiiiiildly different opinion of it. I remember Automobile Mag loving it right away, Car and Driver and Road and Track being kinda lukewarm on it, and Motor Trend not feeling it at all, at least initially. For me personally, having been made a car guy from the 911, I really appreciate how steadily and carefully it’s evolved from generation to generation, and that evolutionary approach has made it easy to maintain a mental relationship with it. This, by its very name (New Sports eXperimental), can’t be that, and I’m not saying that that’s bad - it’s just not what I’m most naturally drawn to. Though I should disclaim up front that I’ve never driven or even ridden in one, I still find the powertrain tech to be overboard and little too much for a driver’s car. Personally, I wish they’d gone with a RWD setup with just the rear electric motor for boost/torque fill and ditch the front motors. Yes, you’d lose the AWD some of the handling tricks those front motors can do, but the return in actual mechanical feedback would be absolutely worth it imo. I will say, though, that I think the criticism these get can be too harsh. Cool that Acura decided to even develop this, even if it’s not what I’d hoped it would be.
People be saying “oh I’d rather buy a 911 for the value rather than the nsx”. What people don’t get is that if you have the money to buy a supercar, then you have enough cash flow to buy another one. At this point, rich people buy whatever they feel like buying instead of looking at what is the best “bang for buck” option.
Wow, nice. Looks so much better than the first (modern) NSX.
Unlike its predecessor the NC1, this type s was redeveloped and redesigned by the Japanese. If the type s had been sold from the beginning, it would have been more popular and would have sold better and development costs would have been reduced. It was a huge mistake for Honda to let Americans develop, design and manufacture the NSX.
Such a nice car, and looks like it’s built amazing
Gotta say great review and fantastic driving
Stunning car! and ever more stunning is that there are people who dislike it.
That's a masterpiece of a car
Looking to get an NSX next year, very thorough driving video. I will be wearing my Speedmaster when I get it too
Love it when the watch and car communities crossover
I’m gonna miss this car.
The rear of this is so aggresive so alien lookin! I LOVE IT
It looks like the AC vents.
Man I love this car, the looks and sounds are top notch. Only car I would trade it for would be GT4 RS Cayman.
"Me? Oh, I drive an Acura hybrid." 🤓😎
I love how Honda's exterior and interior stays consistent.. if we buy an NSX.. we will know its unmistakably Honda's..
exterior & interior is EXELLENT - ya did a great review with this report, thanks for sharing it 7 making every real man slobber heeeheee.
Loved the extra b roll at the end!
Type R!
Hope it stays around long enough get it’s R rating.
nice way to drive, it seems like the driver is very expert doing this.
This is one of my dream cars to have.
Id love to see the type S race the new z06
When are we getting an LFA on the channel?
I like the feature of holding the downshift paddle until the appropriate gear.
What launches harder; the NSX type S or the Porsche 911 Turbo S?
In a non-hypercar world Turbo S smokes everything. With that said this Type-S is still a very quick car to launch.
A car that come at wrong time, but will be appreciated future
The type s version should be the one to get. Love it so much. While it is daily driveable it is not daily liveable like the R8 and 911 turbo is
I drive a 2021 TLX now and this interior looks a lot more like my old 2013 TL. I wish they polished the interior a bit more from the non Type-S model.
I really like these, they seem to not get much love but it’s a good daily friable super ish car
Been waiting for this one
Can’t afford a super car, but if I could, this would be the one!
If i were a $300 million dollar inaire, I’d probably prefer a McLaren 570S for the same amount of money because exotic.
If i were a $1.5 million dollar inaire, I’d probably prefer an Acura NSX for the same amount of money because much better build quality and reliability.
The problem with the NSX is that there are so many "could have beens" with it.
Do I think the NSX is objectively, a great car? yes.
Do I think the NSX is subjectively a great car? No.
The NSX has nothing that technology will not make obsolete. It has no Natually Aspirated engine or manual transmission to pull in old-world charm, its design, while pleasing, is anonymous.
In the future, when the only cars you can buy new are electric, what will you lust after?
The NSX with its Hybrid system, V6 soundtrack, dual turbochargers, and all wheel drive?
Or the GT3 with is manual transmission, rear wheel drive, and glorious 9000RPM engine, perhaps the last of its breed.
It's a good car, but corvette has similar performance and is twice as cheap, or you could get 911 gts, or 911 turbo and they would be as fast or faster. I feel like this car was always decent, but never a dream car material.
Question: If you start in EV mode and the real engine has never started… and you floor it… does it start the motor and immediately redline it cold?
I think yes it does sadly. But at the end it’s still a Honda, so no biggie I guess.
The car will start the engine to warm it up before going into EV.
This car is stored in at my work at the Honda service center in Ohio. We have every color in stock hehe
To me the interior is beautiful like a mix of Cadillac and Lamborghini design tastes
