- The Acura NSX is a Formula 1-inspired masterpiece that stole the hearts of car enthusiasts around the world. The NSX was Honda's first supercar, built to take on Ferrari and launch the Acura brand. The Acura NSX quickly became a performance icon. Representing the physical manifestation of a magical partnership between Honda engineers and the king of Formula 1, Ayrton Senna. This monumental piece of automotive history will forever be remembered as Japan’s most influential supercar of the 20th century.

NSX .. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CARS
MOST PEOPLE CANT AFFORD IT OR BUY IT.
I wish the 2nd gen one actually looked like an NSX, or even an Honda for that matter.
ISSA DINKA JESTER
@@MasouShizuka I mean, it's a supercar. Do you expect it to be affordable?
Not one of the most.
IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL-EST-EST CAR.
I appreciated the NSX more when I learned that this was Gordon Murray’s inspiration to design the iconic Mclaren F1.
Good eye my boy.. what's even more crazier is that the McLaren F1 wouldn't even have missed a BMW engine if Honda had agreed to build an engine instead. I just wish Senna would have been around long enough for us to have some record of him really driving the piss out of that McLaren F1. that I'm sure he would have owned a couple of by now. Or right after they came out... Getting off my soapbox
I was shook when I learned Gordon Murray originally wanted Honda to build the engine for the F1. Imagine. Honda going through with it and we'd have an F1 with VTEC in it lmfao. Maybe. Though Honda even today I don't think has ever put in an engine in a production car bigger than a V6, let alone doing it in the early 90s for a car that would become the fastest production car in the world for like over a decade or so
McLarens today catching fire spontaneously.

@DFB58 The new nsx also smokes the lambo huracan.
@DFB58 Plus the instant torque from the electric motors.
@DFB58 Even in stock form the huracan has a few more horses than the nsx however because electric motors do not have to warm up, they provide instant torque. It doesnt have much to do with forced induction. There's a saying that gors horsepower sells cars but torque wins races.
@@crankybear1236 Yes, it can beat Huracan, but only in launch start, or on very short straight. Huracan is much lighter, has better suspension, better chassis, better braking, more powerful engine...It will beat nsx in just about everything else.
@@arkham7694 Again, electric motors do not have to warm up which means instant torque at all times which is why the nsx beats the huracan despite being heavier.
Talks about the creation and legacy of the original NSX.
Starts talking about the new NSX, video suddenly ends.
Thanks James.
ToaGresh300 exactly what happened to the car
It's inexcusable for a manufacturer, with all resources available to them and no shortage of smart people, to think that it was a good idea to make the car look nothing like the original.... especially since the appearance was the main feature that attracted people to it.
They could have taken a 90's NSX and mildly modernized a few parts of the body and the interior, given it a turbo v6 and sold way more cars for way less $$ , and gained respect from car enthusiasts everywhere. We're the ones that dictate what's cool and what's not (aka sales), the manufacturer doesn't have that power.
Nick Kautz no haha. It’s not like they have old NSX parts laying around they would have to remake everything which would be kinda backwards. They should’ve made an all aluminum body designed by pininfarina, turbo v6 mid engine layout, with a dual clutch to go up against the new Corvette. That way they can reintroduce a S2000 successor with the Type R engine, rwd and a manual to go up against the 40 grand sports cars.
@@MaddNomad1015 That's similar to what I was thinking but in my imagination they still had the tooling programs for nsx production, so it would have been cheaper and easier to piggyback off of the old car. I have one right in front of me , the chassis is nicer than some new cars.
Some NSX chassis are signed by Ayrton Senna. Those are priceless. In Japan is known as Honda NSX-R
Don’t forget, the wolf have one.
I thought they were like NSX type R
@@MohammedAhmed-jg2rw the type r is the stripped out one
the wolf from pulp fiction?
@@lightningmcdweeb yep
45 minutes drive? I'll be there in 20
Next video should be,
My Dad - Everything You Need To Know| Up to Speed
Lmao, I'm surprise not many people aren't asking for this
Sounds like a short video
The next one should be my ex- everything you need to know| Up to Speed
Lmao
Release it on Fathers Day! Lol
The V10 is dead, just like my dad...
This dude is amazing. If he is ever replaced I will unsubscribe.
I think it's not likely since he has a very high position there.
I am willing to bet that the video editors are just as important.
Well it's his channel so. . .
@@keith8880 no I think he's not.
But what about science garage or Wheel House?
So you telling us the first prototype NSX was basically a Cybertruck?
👀
oh no
yeah except it’s a coupe
Cybercoupe
Anyone noticed how sweaty he is in all of his videos caused by his passion?
The kid in the class room scene is with his hair wet. It's actually pretty funny, if you're referencing that.
And he turns red

Ok honestly the new NSX is beautiful and is 100% an absolute beast of a car and I have no idea why people hate it so much. Nothing is ever as good as the original but the new one is just.. amazing.
That's why. If it was called something new like RH2 or something, it would be more appreciated. Kinda like the new supra. It just isn't like the old one, so why taint the name
@@oConshien And people wouldn’t have an emotional attachment to them under a new name. Honda knew this.
It’s a cool car, but not an NSX. The A90 Supra has the same spirit as the old ones, but the new NSX is just a new Acura super car. It would’ve been better to call it anything else except for NSX.
@@ADMONIUS Well, the Supra evolved too. And every time they looked different. That supercar deserves the NSX name because it does match up with its legacy. No matter its difference.
i’m in love with it, regardless of the year
Designer; "An American muscle car in an Italian exotic cars body."
Everyone; "Kinda looks a lot like a R8..."
Designer; *Sweats profusely*
She didnt know what she was talking about, its 4 wheel drive, v6. Hybrid, italian body, and just shaped weirdly.
it doesn't look anything like an R8...you need new prescription glasses
@@johnp1277 it doesnt look like a R8, but I can see where hes coming from
ugh she never said that: @donutmedia stop making it up.
“... The Radio.” And then he shows Cuba Gooding Jr. 🤣
Your editor is cool AF
Own the 22nd NSX in the US, 4th owner. The original owner paid 22K over list, 83K. A lot of money even now. Have the NSX cell phone, looks like a home wall phone. Trivia, aluminum jack.
BWAHAHA I loved how Harrison Ford was presenting the Ford conference 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
You forgot to mention the NSX made it to Pulp Fiction
Oh God I remember that scene, the silver NSX. That movie got 9.2/10 on iMDB
...and a wicked cool white example, at that....
@@johnp1277 was not white
Respect. Things that no one talks about with the NSX that you did: Bobby Rahal, Satoru Nakajima, and the Compliance Pivot....no one talks about the Compliance Pivot.
When i was 17 looking for my first car, my dad told me not to buy an e36, and i was taking his advice to buy a cheaper car, so as i was riding on the freeway i saw an Acura, a great looking one. It was an NSX and i didnt know avout their reputation, and i was like, “Hey dad is that one cheap?” He said “No way.”
Good times.
Uhhh so did you buy an NSX?
You didn't know about their reputation as affordable luxury wrapped around bulletproof Honda design and manufacturing?
So question. Are you going to put
"AUTOMOBILIA EXOTICA" on a t-shirt? Just asking...
Ima say no after 3 years
I am a classic Honda lover. I have a 1990 CRX, 2000 Prelude and 2004 Accord V6 and I just recently picked up a 1991 NSX. The G1 NSX is the most ultimate Honda/Acura car ever made.
*I think, i think it's a supercar*

Zygrene hell yeah! love your videos 👍🏻
And do you know the yellow one at the end next to the new nsx? 😏
Nice!
each nsx's frame was built from a single piece of aluminum.
each car's key,was aluminum cut from it's own frame.
When I see the new nsx, I always think “Look how they massacred my boy”
watergod 83 you silly child
Ok Boomer.
The new nsx is an objective improvement over the old one in nearly every aspect and uses tech that gets compared to other hybrid supercars like the Porsche 918. Except it's like also 1/10th of the price
@watergod 83 Everyone has their opinion, the old NSX was better.
watergod 83 this is true lmao, the nsx looks fine to me
Well-made video with lots of good NSX info. The video did mention that for 1997 and up, a 3.2L engine with 290HP was added; however, it would have also been prudent to mention the added torque and most importantly, the 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION (with revised gearing which better utilized the powerband of the engine) as opposed to the original 5 speed.
Video- “Highway to the...”
Me- “DANGER ZONE!”
+Kent Weisner Same!
just imagine schools started teaching thing to student like him..
Riley Noland Like OH MY like Gawd!!!!
Riley Noland I was being sarcastic brother.
But yeah it would be pretty cool to have a “racing style “ class early on.
Riley Noland That’s a great car man. I’m probably right there with you.
Imagine speaking English

I miss this dude, hope he gets better soon
What happened to him?, i started watching his videos yesterday.
My pops had a 91 nsx back in the mid 90s. What a vehicle. I was 17 with a fresh license

Many are not a fan of the design or the idea of the new NSX. But truthfully it’s still an amazing super car that’s cheaper and does have the technology of the future.
I’m excited for Acura. The Type S coming back, and the new RDX is amazing. Glad to see Acura back in the game.

As James May put it
“The original NSX made the super car useable and affordable, the new one did the same with the hybrid super car”
Really, really annoyed they didn’t spend more time on the new one (seems like they are a bit more 90s Japan fanboys)
302 Racing I mean they spent what seems like years to create a second from when they released the idea they were actually doing it. I think the part they’re missing is the affordable to fix and “everyday” driver.
Welp
3 seconds in and i'm already pumped and screaming.
Chubby sweaty guy is the only reason I watch these videos 🤣
U ghey
Best host on CZcams
Tech Showdown best tech youtuber :3
Absolutely! These guys are amazing. They make every car so interesting, and pack so much humor in it.

Please make an up to speed video on your dad😂
Love this guys vibe. Makes it educational and fun to watch. Keep it up man!
This guy is very informative and entertaining without the need to be a pompous a-wad. I happen to enjoy his personality over Matt Farrah.
The NSX is my favorite car hands down. It's driving perfection. Even when the competition had more power, it still owned them. Thank you for the video.
I feel like the more up to speed videos donut media makes the more the video editor shows off their skills
Aaron Tena thank you 🙏🏻
Colby Mann
You're the editor?
Keep up the good job man 👌
Love this guy's energy!! Makes the videos even more interesting. Good info!
The 2022 NSX Type S was first presented with an Acura badge in early August. At the time, the Japanese automaker announced that worldwide production would be capped at just 350 units. And the NSX taken to Laps Suzuka Circuit in Japan 2-seconds faster than the 2021 NSX

The Honda NSX will forever be a Timeless Classic! Thanks for covering this amazing machine! 👊⚡⚡
You guys should make an episode about the Honda Insight.
Sure, it's not a super fast sports car, but the original generation was an incredible purpose-built car that was really freaking impressive for it's time, and much like the NSX, was made entirely out of aluminum.
Plus, my daily is an 01 Insight so making an episode would make me happy and I think that should be reason enough.
Jakob Lindholm does this look like reddit you fucking goob?

Choosingbeggars is when people ask for something free for exposure or some other weird crap instead of paying for it.This is just a request.
Completely agree. After the Prius became a big hit, people forgot that Honda was the innovator in Hybrid technology. I loved the original 2-seater Insight. It looks like a spaceship.
What a SICK episode! Love host and editoing
Great video, thanks! I've got a '96 NSX-T. Supercharged it with up-scaled air flow and exhaust system. it's enough car for me.
Boi you know it's gonna be amazing when James is posing on the opposite side of the thumbnail 👌👌👌 amazing video once again guys

Guillermo G. I love this part
LOL, agree. And actually, it's my alarm tone. XD
It’s 2017, I just got done with a closing shift at 10:30 and had to stop by the local gas station to get fuel. I’m barely awake but just enough to get fuel and drive home.
Then at the side of my eye I see it.
Beautiful styling, horizontal taillights, a dual exhaust, and a bright red paint.
The whole drive home I was wondering what kind of car it was, because I didn’t care about cars then. Then after the full day of searching I found this video. This video revealed what car I saw and how cool it is.
This video and this car is what got me into cars, and to this day is my dream car. To me it is the perfect car and the reason why I love cars.
Senna Love from Brazil to you! Great Vid
Sucks that the most current nsx doesn't get the attention it needs. It's truely a work of art.
ThirtyOne Fifty ehh
"Oh look a Ferrari"
