NSX History
The first-generation NSX, which went on sale in 1990, had a significant weight reduction by adopting an all-aluminum monocoque body, a world’s first for mass-production vehicles. As a new-generation mid-engine sportscar it brought together state-of-the-art technologies of the time and achieved both excellent dynamic performance and ease of driving at a high level. I was at Road&Track at the time, and the staff was blown away by how good the sports car was.The first-generation NSX was well received by customers around the world since it was in essence a Japanese Ferrari with Japanese quality and pricing unheard of in the sports cars of the era.
While holding to “human-centered supercar” inherited from the first-generation NSX and adopting Honda’s original and advanced electrification technologies, the second-generation NSX was developed and introduced in 2016 to “provide more customers with the joy of driving generated by a sense of oneness between the driver and vehicle. Moreover, NSX has been supplied globally from the Performance Manufacturing Center in the U.S., which realized harmony between the craftmanship of skilled engineers and innovative advanced production technologies.”
By using the human resources and technologies amassed through the development and advancement of NSX in creating cars and other products in the future, Honda says it will continue to take on new challenges to continue offering the “joy of driving” to its customers with electrified and new-value mobility products yet to be created. “Honda would like to express its sincere gratitude to all customers and fans who have enjoyed and loved NSX.”
