The Honda NSX (Acura NSX in North America) is a
sports car made by Honda. It has a mid-engine, rear-wheel
drive layout, an all-aluminium body and chassis,
a V6 engine (the C32B) that produces 216 kW (290
bhp) and 304 N·m (224 ft·lbf) of torque.
NSX stands for "New Sports eXperimental".
Honda
ended production of the NSX in 2005, 15 years
after the first NSX was built. The last cars were
built in September for the European market and
December for North America. Upon its release in
1990, the NSX was a design ahead of its time.
It was the first time that a Japanese automaker
had made a car to compete against the products
of the traditional European exotic car manufacturers
and the famous Chevy Corvette.
