Chronology
PredecessorHonda NSX (first generation)

The second-generation Honda NSX (New Sports eXperience), marketed as the Acura NSX in North America, China and Kuwait, is a 2-seater, all-wheel drive, mid-engine hybrid electric sports car developed and manufactured by Honda in the United States. Production began in 2016 and will end in 2022 with the Type S variant. It succeeds the original NSX that was produced in Japan from 1990 to 2005.

Development[]

In December 2007, Honda America's CEO, Tetsuo Iwamura, confirmed to the automotive press that a new sports car powered by a V10 engine would make its debut to the market by 2010.[7] The new sports car would be based on the Acura ASCC (Advanced Sports Car Concept) introduced at the 2007 North American International Auto Show.[8] With Honda's CEO Takeo Fukui challenging the developers to make the car faster than its rivals, including the Nissan GT-R and the Lexus LFA.[9] Prototypes of the vehicle were seen testing on the Nürburgring in June 2008.[10] On December 17, 2008, Fukui announced during a speech about Honda's revised financial forecasts that, due to poor economic conditions, all plans for a next-generation of the NSX had been cancelled.[11] In March 2010, the name of the Acura NSX project was changed to the Honda HSV-010 GT, and the car was entered in the Japanese Super GT Championship. The HSV-010 GT was powered by a 3.4-liter V8 rated at a power output of more than 500 hp (373 kW) and was equipped with a sequential manual transmission from Ricardo. The HSV-010 GT never made it into production stage.

In April 2011, Automobile magazine reported that Honda was developing a new sports car to be a successor to the original NSX.[12] The magazine reported that the car would be exhilarating to drive but also environmentally friendly. It was expected that the vehicle will incorporate an electric drivetrain to give the petrol engine a boost of power.[13] In late 2010, Motor Trend reported that Honda was developing a mid-engine hybrid electric sports car to be an NSX successor.[14]

In December 2011, Acura announced that they would unveil the next generation of the NSX in concept form at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. On January 9, 2012, Acura unveiled the 2012 Acura NSX Concept to the general public.[15]

The new concept retained a 2-door coupe, mid-engine layout but with all-wheel drive. The use of a high-tech platform made from lightweight materials permitted the weight to be low. Power came from a 3.5-litre V6 engine mounted behind the cockpit, sending its power to the rear wheels. Acura's SH-AWD incorporates one electric motor in a dual-clutch transmission to augment the combustion engine thus forming a hybrid setup. Additionally, two more electric motors able to instantly send negative or positive torque to the front wheels during cornering also formed part of the powertrain.

Acura claimed the resulting all-wheel drive system would provide better handling and matching acceleration while offering greater efficiency relative to the naturally aspirated 4.5-litre V8 engine in the Ferrari 458, the NSX's main competitor at the time.

Marketing[]

In September 2011, during filming of The Avengers, Robert Downey, Jr. (playing the role of Iron Man) was spotted in an exotic sports car similar to the new NSX, made specifically for the film,[16] rather than the Audi R8 he previously drove in Iron Man and Iron Man 2.[17][18] The car itself was built by Trans FX using an existing 1992 NSX. Its design was an altered form of the new NSX's final design in order to avoid leaks and speculations about the new sports car by the media.[19]

A Super Bowl advertisement for the vehicle began airing in early February 2012, featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno.

In 2013, Acura launched an online configuration tool for the new NSX on Facebook.[20] Later that year, the car was featured in the video game Gran Turismo 6.[21]

Although the original name was retained—which stood for "New Sportscar eXperimental"—the second generation model's name has been defined as "New Sports eXperience".[22]

The Honda NSX unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. Honda to begin orders for the NSX on summer 2015, and deliveries on late 2015. On December 2015, the North American pricing was announced with a starting price of US$156,000.[23]

At the same time, Honda announced the European debut for the NSX at the 85th Geneva Motor Show, alongside the FK2 Civic Type R.[24]

The first production vehicle with VIN #001 was auctioned off by Barrett Jackson on January 29, 2016.[25] NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick won the auction with a bid for US$1.2 million. The entire proceeds from the auction were donated to the charities Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and Camp Southern Ground.[26][27][28][29][30] The first NSX rolled off the production line in Ohio on May 24, 2016.[31][32][33][34][35]

Structurally, the body utilises a space frame design, which is made from aluminium, ultra-high strength steel, and other rigid and lightweight materials, some of which are the world's first applications.[clarification needed]

Production of the second generation NSX commenced in 2015 at the Performance Manufacturing Center. The facility is specifically built for the assembly of the NSX, and it cost USD $70 million to build the assembly plant for Honda.[36] It is located in Marysville, Ohio, which is housed inside Honda's former North American Logistics facility and located in the midst of Honda's existing R&D and production engineering operations. The powertrain is separately assembled by Honda associates at its engine plant in Anna, Ohio.[36][37]

2019 update[]

2019 Honda NSX with the Thermal Orange Pearl body color

In August 2018, Honda announced improvements for the 2019 model year.[39] The improvements included larger front and rear stabilizer bars, which increased front stiffness by 26 percent and rear stiffness by 19 percent, as well as 21 percent stiffer rear toe link bushings. New specially developed Continental tires and optional Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires were also included. These led to software optimizations to the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system, active magnetorheological dampers, electric power steering and VSA settings. According to Honda, the car is 1.9 seconds faster than the pre-2019 model around the Suzuka Circuit.[39] Visually, the car's previously silver front grille garnish is now painted in the same color as the body. Additionally, a new Thermal Orange Pearl body color became available for 2019,[40] followed by Indy Yellow Pearl for 2020 and Long Beach Blue Pearl for 2021.[41][42]

In 2020, Honda stopped producing NSX's for Japanese domestic market and announced no longer available in Japan for sale. At the end of 2021, Honda stopped producing NSX's for all other markets. According to Honda, over 2800 units (without Type S) were produced worldwide.[43]

NSX Type S (2022)[]

On August 3, 2021, Honda announced it will produce an improved, limited-production NSX Type S for 2022 to mark the car's final year of production. The NSX Type S will be limited to 350 units worldwide, with 300 of these units available for the U.S. market, 30 for Japan and 15 for Canada.[44] The Type S will be the only version of the NSX that will be produced during 2022. The Type S moniker was last used in the NSX on the 1997 NSX Type S and Type S-Zero models that were exclusive for the Japanese domestic market, meaning that the 2022 version will be the first NSX Type S to be sold out of Japan. The car was unveiled on August 12, 2021 at the Monterey Car Week in the United States, and on August 30 in Japan.[45][46]

The NSX Type S features several enhancements to the NSX's powertrain, providing a combined maximum power output of 600 hp (608 PS; 447 kW) and 492 lb⋅ft (667 N⋅m) of torque on North American models,[47] while Japanese models are rated at 610 PS (602 hp; 449 kW) and 667 N⋅m (492 lb⋅ft) of torque.[48] Enhancements to the internal combustion engine include new turbochargers from the NSX GT3 Evo race car that increase peak boost pressure by 5.6 percent from 15.2 psi (1.05 bar) to 16.1 psi (1.11 bar), new fuel injectors which increase flow rate by 25 percent, and new intercoolers that can dissipate an additional 15 percent more heat than previously. As a result of these upgrades, the internal combustion engine now generates a maximum power output of 520 hp (527 PS; 388 kW)[a] at 6,500–6,850 rpm and 443 lb⋅ft (601 N⋅m)[b] of torque at 2,300–6,000 rpm.[50] The gear ratio of the Twin Motor Unit powering the front wheels was lowered by 20 percent to improve torque off the line and give the car a quicker launch, while the car's usable battery capacity and battery output have been increased by 20 and 10 percent, respectively, as a result of more efficient usage of the car's Intelligent Power Unit. Because of the improvements in battery capacity and output, the car's electric motors have been retuned to offer better performance and a higher electric-only range.

The car's 9-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) also features improvements.[51] New programming for Sport and Sport+ modes resulted in 50 percent faster upshifts, while the allowable downshift speed in Track mode was raised by 1,500 rpm to allow earlier downshifts. A new "Rapid Downshift Mode" was introduced, allowing the driver to shift to the lowest possible gear according to the car's speed by holding the downshift paddle for 0.6 seconds in Sport, Sport+ and Track modes. In fully automatic mode, the transmission downshifts earlier in Sport+ mode.

The Type S features several new design elements to improve downforce and cooling through enhanced aerodynamics. These include a new nose design and a large carbon fiber rear diffuser based on the one used on the NSX GT3 Evo. The car also has new forged split-5 spoke wheels, increasing front track by 0.4 in (10 mm) and rear track by 0.8 in (20 mm), and new Pirelli P-Zero tires developed exclusively for the NSX Type S, which have contributed to the car's lateral grip increasing by six percent. Honda also optimized the car's chassis, suspension and response; re-tuned its four drive modes; and refined its engine note.

As an optional feature, a "Lightweight Package" was introduced, reducing 26 kg (58 lb) from the car's curb weight with carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber engine cover and carbon fiber interior parts.[52] Also, a new exclusive paint color, named "Gotham Gray Matte" on North American models and "Carbon Matte Gray Metallic" on Japanese models,[53] was offered, which is limited for 70 vehicles.

With all of these upgrades, Honda states that the NSX Type S is two seconds faster at the Suzuka Circuit than the 2019–2021 NSX, meaning that the Type S is four seconds faster than the original 2016–2018 model at Suzuka.[54][55] In September 2021, Acura conducted a test for the NSX Type S around the Grand Prix of Long Beach street circuit with IMSA SportsCar champion Ricky Taylor driving. He set a lap time of 1:32.784 minutes, which was nearly three seconds faster than the 2019 NSX's 1:35.663 minute lap time set by Peter Cunningham and the lap record for a road-legal production vehicle.[56][57]

On August 14, 2021, the first NSX Type S – VIN #001 out of 350 – was auctioned to Rick Hendrick (same buyer of the first production NSX, which was auctioned back in 2016) for USD $1.1 million at Mecum's Daytime Auction, which was held during the Monterey Car Week.[58] All proceeds were donated to charitable organizations, including the Center of Science and Industry (COSI). All 300 Type S models in the United States were reserved with deposits within 24 hours of the car's launch, with a waiting list that includes more than 100 people.[59] Applications for purchase in Japan began on 2 September, 2021, the production began on 20 January, 2022,[60] with deliveries beginning in July 2022.[61]
