Still one of the best looking sports cars, ever! I wish they would of kept making incremental changes over time, like a Porsche 911. And kept making them through out the years.
Great video. BTW, the Drift King's name is pronounced "Kay - ichi Tsu-chi-ya". You also had his picture on screen instead of Satoru Nakajima's at 6:55. But aside from that, it was a video worthy of the legendary NSX.
@@24X7CARZ That's because of the large German ancestry in the US, leading to many words coming from German, and pronunciation rules along with it. In German, "when two vowels go a' walking, the second one does the talking" so the vowel combo "ei" you pronounce the letter "i".
When I was 15, I've played Gran Turismo for PSP a lot, and even in that game the NSX was simply different of any other cars in terms of driving and fun. Great video, mate!
What an amazing video man, this is a masterpiece. I can't wait to see you blow up in popularity one day. This video solidified my dream of owning the same NSX you have and also inspired me to give a like and sub. Truly amazing video work, keep it up man!
Agreed, this video is superb. Thank you for your diligently-crafted tribute. It's fitting, considering the subject. I've long dreamt of owning an NSX of my own someday, and plan to do so. I used to own its little brother: a '95 Integra Special Edition (in championship white), and what an incredible car that was. Would love to hear how you got your NSX, if you ever feel like sharing. Thanks again for your efforts and your time, man.
Great video! Brilliant story telling and loved the part about the influence on the McLaren F1 development. But I do have things you could improve though. First is memorizing the script more. I'm not good at this either so who am I to say, but it does come off as unprepared. Second is getting names right. The Japanese driver was Satoru Nakajima, not Nakajimi (also, not shown correctly on screen), and Gordon Murray's name spelling. I don't wanna come across like a teacher criticizing a student for small essay mistakes, but I hope this helps to grow your channel more! Can't wait for more content from you!
These are my favorite comments actually, because more than anything I want to make better videos. Appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video!
That means so much homie ❤️ your vid was low key the inspiration for this video and one day I hope to be as good at story telling/presenting that you are!
The first use of variable valve timing was on the 1903 Cadillac Runabout and Tonneau created by Alanson Partridge Brush Patent 767,794 “INLET VALVE GEAR FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES” filed August 3rd, 1903, and granted August 16th, 1904.
VTEC is like having 2 cams. A slow rpm one and a high rpm one. The 2nd lobe has different timing as well as greater valve lift. Its a very reliable system.
That must’ve been really cool! Anything interesting he said about it or what inspired it? I’m debating doing a video on the similarity between the NSX and the Nissan mid4 and mg ex-e and any info would be greatly appreciated!
@@driftindonuts - His name is Andy Ogden I remember everyone was going crazy when the NSX first showed up in car magazines. In one class, I heard that Andy asked if the car everyone was excited about “looked like this,” then he pulled out a marker rendering of an NSX prototype he’d drawn years before the car actually went into production.
Nicely done! Well done on keeping the video story simple, without going in to the many versions and iterations over the 15 years that the NSX was gradually improved - that's for another video, hint hint. I have a JDM NSX Type S, which has an even better engine, suspension and interior than the debut model. Love my NSX.
All that reading off of the script from the corner of your eye, just to read Keiichi "Te-sushi" won Lemans................ Great video, and nice piece together of quotes from various automotive sources otherwise. 🤭
As the owner of a Spa Yellow 97 since 97 I take exception to being referred to as a member of a Cult Following. I prefer an owner of a car that to this day is still consider very rare and very special. A car that shows up and immediately recognized as very special and very much desired today. I found your vid very accurate you did a great job.
@@driftindonuts didn't make many , from 96 to 2002 the production number got smaller and smaller then they switched to Rio yellow nice color but very different
Thank you for the video... the NSX Motor Trend considered to be 15 years ahead of its time when it was released... but I didn't know that information about Gordon Murray and the McLaren F1 that was very informative thank you for your channel
Not a bad video. Teleprompter work is needed and if that’s your car we want to experience your emotions about such a supercar icon. Congratulations on a great car.
when Honda and McLaren worked together at f1, Murray said to Honda to but a bigger engine in the NSX. Honda said no, so he build the McF1 to but he couldn't ask Honda for an engine. so he ask Bmw as the others capable brands were enemy in the circuit.
If you want to do a video on the car that most changed the supercar industry, do a video on the Tesla Plaid. Actually destroyed motorsports as we know it. On the street, it is untouchable period. It humiliates all the exotic cars we once thought were quick including multimillion dollar hypercars! The NSX is beautiful but dramatically underpowered compared to the Plaid. Excellent video by the way.
The search traffic on CZcams is exponentially higher for “Honda NSX” than “Acura NSX” so that’s why I titled mine Honda. I assume other creators did the same
I remember in 1989 the first nsx at the motor show on national television I was 17 living in Ohio moved to Alaska in late 89 in 91 seen the nsx in person first nsx sold in Alaska at that time nsx was my dream car in 1999 living in Texas I drove the nsx the first time the nsx handled like a dream
@@driftindonuts lol from late April til late August we have 24 hours of warm sunlight shines brighter up here than the lower 48 plus Alaska is gorgeous like god's painting 🖌️ the last time I seen a nsx in the summer of 22
Um, I would like to say that the NSX is STILL more reliable than modern super cars! Modern super cars became a bit easier to drive, and more comfortable....but they did not get more reliable because, if they did, there would be more of them actually being driven. Lamborghini and Ferrari have NEVER truly cared about making reliable cars, they just make art pieces and that is the end of it. Ferrari himself, only cared about racing and practically hated his customers that bought the road cars. Ferrari never really bothered to step up their reliability on the road because their customers rarely drive their cars. And, those that did try to drive their cars regularly found very quickly their cars were, well, garbage even now.
Wonder why they destroyed the new - honda xsn (as its not the nsx)? Hoping that Honda does produce an even simpler, better and timeless NSX, just as the original!
Car Design story - I worked with a guy who worked at Rover-Honda 80s era. The designs were a joint venture with the two brands, just look at the history. The NSX was actually the MG EX-E (I think it’s called) concept from the 80s. Look at the proportions/design and it’s clearly the NSX. He said the Honda partnership went sour and Honda had all these ideas that they stole. The story goes that they went to pinifarina with all these designs to clean up and come up with a slightly different modded version as the Rover studio were basically designing the Honda cars before. This chap was one of the designers on the EX-E and said how over night the guys in Honda basically stole their design/idea to produce there own supercar. As a automotive designer, it pains me to say this happens quite often in our field. But if you get a chance to edit the video, add a little mention to the MG concept from the 80s
That is very interesting in all my research I hadn’t heard that story but after looking into it the proportions are bang on. I will most likely make a video about that car and talk about the Nissan mid4 because they both seem to be what actually inspired the NSX design and to me car design is fascinating
@@driftindonuts Definitely! Fantastic video btw, try to get some designers if you can during that time. If you ever get a chance to do the S2000, that will be fantastic. One on the best car designs imo. Story goes that was inspired by a caterham, I think it’s in some Japanese Honda S2000 book when the car was released in the 90s. Designed by Pinifarinna too in mid 90s and the volumes and stance still stand good today. Compared to its rivals at the time it was way ahead.
The old nsx is the r35 gtr!!!!! I own 2009 gtr my friend has a nsx . Bolth lighty modded. My gtr kills it All day LoNg !!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!! The nsx is a blast to drive!!!!!!!!!!
Uno de los mejores deportivos de todos los tiempos y muy fiable como buen ahonda este modelo sirvió para crear el McLaren F1 Gordon Murray se inspiró en el NSX al probarlo y verse sorprendido de la joya de Honda como cliente de Honda desde hace 30 no quiero ninguna otra marca Honda es la N.1 con diferencia conducir un Honda tiene algo especial que no lo tienen el resto de marcas calidad japonesa
Fun fact there were 991 likes when I started the video, now there are 992 likes. Little Porsche joke hee hee. One should always immediately like an NSX video before watching. That's just good manners. There can never be enough content on the NSX, which is essentially the McLaren F1 for the everyman.
Wow when you said "follow me" I look at your subscriber no. I Was really surprised to see 99 subs, well a 100 now sence me haha Best of luck with the channel
The NSX is really just a spicy Honda Accord with a body kit and the engine in the wrong hole.
That is definitely a way to describe it 😂
omfg 😂
The most stupid and ignorant thing I've read in a long time
No, The Acura Legend and Ferrari F40 had a baby, the NSX was born!
@bullittwood3320 l love this I'm going to use it too.
Heard the NSX origin story many times now and I never get tired of it. Truly they don't make them like this anymore. A timeless car!
This is still my dream car
Man this was my dream car as well
Same here, one I will get you.....
Not me, the S2000 stole my heart ❤️
@@bige7186 that’s my second favorite Honda
My dream car. Can't afford it anymore!

Thanks for letting me know I’ll make sure to double check next time!
Yeah, for some reason North Americans almost always pronounce “ei” like in “Heidi” even though they know how to properly pronounce “geisha”.
@@24X7CARZ That's because of the large German ancestry in the US, leading to many words coming from German, and pronunciation rules along with it. In German, "when two vowels go a' walking, the second one does the talking" so the vowel combo "ei" you pronounce the letter "i".
Great video man! The NSX will always be one of my dream cars.
Thanks, they really are special vehicles
Great video. Shooting Brake just did two on the NSX-R and Type S which I love
Just looked it up, love to discover new Chanel’s thanks for the tip!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TRIPLE BERLINA BLACK " NSX".... FOREVER STILL....!!! SUPERCAR EXTRAORDINARE......!

Cool video. 2minor errors. The NSX put out 270 hp not 275 and it was not drive by wire until later. It also had a twin plate clutch ( 2 discs).
I remember being young and seeing this on the road 4 the first time!...... We were floored!...... Even the name is sexy!
I loved my 91 NSX best Honda/Acura car I ever owned.
Mr.Motoharu Kurosawa, who was the NSX development driver, is undoubtedly the best driver.
Did James and Nolan just have a baby? Story was dope af man keep going I’m subscribed 🔥🍩

Honda NSX is my dream car but they are worth too much today.... so I settled for it's little brother a 1991 Honda Beat that I bought for 8,200$ :P

so he build the McF1 to

Hardly forgotten you haven't rode around with me. I can't take mine anywhere it isn't admired and photographed and it's pretty much stockm
Nothing wrong with keeping it stock, Honda nailed it from the factory

Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ forever Amen.
Are you reading from a teleprompter?
That was true until however the S2000 came out (:
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe to this day that there the highest hp/liter na car on the road!
No offense but you look like the kinda kid who would snitch in class
Sell me that NSX?
How much
I think I’m too emotionally invested in this thing to ever let it go
Japanese is smart enough to build NSX but dumb enough for not keeping the original design..NSX 2.0
that's because they handed it to the American designers to design it..
Honda copied the the nissan mid4
I will say the front end is very similar … maybe an idea for a future video, need to research more
I wish all Hondas weren't so ugly now
They definitely could use less fake vents that’s for sure
