Never drive this one but I did drive it’s successor and the current generation of NSX on a race track a few years ago.
And out of the few cars driven on the track that day, a Lamborghini , two Ferrari, the NSX was by far my favorite and the most fun to drive! I did not expect that!
Honda NSX. The Japanese Ferrari?
A 30 years old car. Time flies, I remember that one like it was yesterday. Less sensuous than a Ferrari, but not less technical, at the contrary. What do you think? Best, Nicolas. PS Credit pictures: Classic Car. ...
Yes absolutely
Brilliant car. Saw one the other day here in HK and was taken back to how brilliant it was! Best E.
Being developed with Ayrton’s inputs
this can only be seen as a legendary car. Ahh, memories of youth ☺️ and eternal sadness for the loss of a hero
Absolutely gorgeous
IMHO it is one of the most iconic Honda. Personally I think it is in the top4 Japanese with. Toyota GT2000, Hakosuka GTR and Godzilla R32-GTR😀. After a long thought I still can't go down to top 3. I admire all of those 4 equally
Ayrton drives the NSX
watch his foot technique...Love the white socks Note how he presses down on the pedal feeling for grip in the corners, no one could duplicate this technique precisely Ayrton drives the NSX in Japan
My first encounter with one of these...
Track Time at Watkins Glen. Brought my "chipped" BMW M5 with new Pirelli p7s. After several laps following one of these I had no hope of passing. Japanese Ferrari for sure.
Great car.... !
I never drove this car, but was a passenger once! It was a very nice ride. I remember driving other Japanese super cars back then, such as the NISSAN 300 ZX Bi-Turbo or the Supra 3.0! My god, what a thrill !
Would be great if you could try both.... It will be very hard to find an original, untuned Supra.
300 ZX are becoming also very rare these days.
I think this is when cars were still cool...
And oh so cool this one is. To this day, it's a total head turner.
Yes, made in a purpose-built factory (at GREAT expense)
They didn't make as many as planned, so the excess capacity was used up by another low volume, all-aluminum structure car -- the first Insight. That's why I bought mine (poor many's NSX) with high-revving motor, titanium rods, fancy injection system, aero...

It’s my dream car. The ultimate, white black carbon type R, but is right steerd.
My other dream car
Actually i want a Carrera S RWD. A GT3 needs a race track to live. ...
Very refined
Technically one or the best sports car. Sure you like your Alpine, i my Honda, but Porsche be honest is here the winner. Le Mans, 911, Ferdinand Porsche. A fun picture. ...
The cheapest 911
Yes you have a point. I have so my things i want to cloth my perfect 911. RWD, PDK, my favorite paint, interior options, no roll bar, around 525 hp. An AWD manual shifted in silver metallic i skip.
It would be interesting to analyse the value curves of that NSX against its 'enemy' of the day, the Ferrari 348
Taking maintenance costs into account, I think the Honda wins hands down. I always loved the way they used the two colours: the black top is very cool in this case

I prefer my rig on the track....
240 Hp at the wheel 225 kilograms without bags. only a plaid will make it sad H2 Sx With Brocks full system ...
Plaid versus H2
This bike is even more track focused with a good rider as well. The plaid will outrun any supercar right now for 1/20th price of a Bugatti . Torque rules. That is why I have a supercharger but electric unbeatable for instant torque H2 versus plaid s
The NSX is an absolute classic
I remember it was quite something when it was first released, all aluminum and designed like few cars before it. I recall the greatest compliment (and simultaneously to some the worst insult) was that it drove like a Honda/Acura when you weren't flogging ...
always loved that car! superb engineering for the time. remember a story about the body though....
I seem to recall when they came out, that insurance companies here in the US weren't too keen to insure them. Something about the one-piece body made of aluminum that would be very expensive to fix/replace Anyway, great car and wish i had the money to buy...
Thirty Years Old pictures of an NSX!
Taken by myself of a pal who came from Northern Ireland to run on tracks in France. By the time we got to Toulouse he had no tread left, and there were no tires to be had anywhere that fit the NSX. He was running very hard and competitive with almost any ...
Slightly boring to sit in
Looks like a Honda Accord inside, sadly, mostly black/grey plastic... though once it starts howling about 7000 rpm you forget the boring interior
Love the original NSX! A friend is lucky enough to own 3 of them and I was lucky enough to steal one for a day, such a unique driving experience!
I've had some low cars before but the NSX is absolutely on the floor, so flat in a way new cars can't ever be again due to safety regulations. The design is so futuristic, even today, and driving that low slung car with very reclined seating position on r...
Lower it some more and put on bigger tires!?
This car must be nearly impossible to drive on the street. Cazalea ...
The 5 speed box feels a little slow but I imagine the C32 with 6 speed is "just right".
I honestly dislike cars that don't let you rev them out, and the NSX is basically already there for the US since we have low speed limits. It's a little bit faster than a base naturally aspirated Cayman, which is good enough for a street car IMO.
I have a friend - who had one
And it took him around 2 years to figure out it had an extra ⚙️ gear.. as he couldn’t reach max speed in the gear he thought was the highest (I believe it has 6 gears)
Love early versions of the NSX. Timeless styling, great handling, sweet motor even if a bit low on power. In the 90s the Japanese produced some great sports cars. I was lucky enough to
own two that were fantastic. Both had great styling but different personalities and attributes. The 300ZXtt was sweet to drive. Fast. Fairly reliable. Very comfortable. Hard to work on. MKIV Supra tt was faster. Bullet Proof! ...no matter how much hp you ...
I miss mine. Coincidentally after 10 years.......
It ended up in the garage of a collector that stays two streets away from me!!! Best, Horo
Found a picture of my old 29 NSX, with a fellow owner
There were only 6 in whole of Singapore. Back then, all my mates wanna drive a Porsche 911, i was the only "idiot" that wanted a Japanese car. Best, Horo ...
