Mixed feelings on the new NSX are landing over the media landscape after the first drives of the Acura/ Honda hybrid ‘supercar’.
The return of the NSX has been teased for what feels like a century now, with Honda changing its mind several times along the development of their halo model but now, it’s finally here in the form of an AWD hybrid twin-turbo V6 mid-engined model.
Now that the 573hp, 191mph NSX is finally a reality, we get to learn if all these years was worth waiting. Yes, the numbers are more than impressive but given its mythical ancestor built its fame upon the brilliant simplicity of its architecture and its Senna-derived road character, can the much more complicated new model bring the same kind of excitement to its driver?
In a world where McLaren calls the 570S a sportscar and Honda calls the new NSX a supercar, the new Japanese warrior has a whole lot more to prove and this is not an easy task.
