Besides supplying McLaren engines, Honda also learned valuable experience in aerodynamics, body weight reduction and stamping from F 1. Combining the sales of Prelude, the stimulation of Civic control and the experience of F 1, Honda decided to build the first super sports car in the history of Toyo, proving to the world that super running is by no means a European patent.
The rebirth of NSX:
In 20 12, with the release of The Avengers, the sports car driven by the movie Iron Man became the focus of discussion among fans, not only because of its resolute appearance and powerful performance, but also because of the A-word logo, which directly reminded people whether this was the next generation NSX. In September, at the north american auto show, Honda officially unveiled its mystery-this is the new generation NSX.
Acura NSX concept car, a new generation supercar, inherits the name and sports genes of NSX. It will adopt Acura's brand-new hybrid four-wheel drive system, which is the next generation NSX supercar developed in combination with customer needs and technological progress. The appearance of NSX concept car, which symbolizes the design direction of super sports car NSX, will bring great expectations to fans in China.
The NSX Concept is equipped with a mid-mounted V6 engine and cooperates with Acura's original Sport Hybrid SH-AWD four-wheel drive system to fully present the product concept of "free driving and free will" advocated by Acura brand.
As for the future direction of the new generation NSX, takanobu ito, who participated in the research and development of the first generation NSX and is now the president of Honda Technology Research Industry Co., Ltd., said: "The most important thing in manufacturing sports cars is to keep pace with the times. The first generation NSX adopted an all-aluminum body, which pioneered the industry and led the trend at that time.
Nowadays, environmental protection will be the new direction of super sports cars in this era. The new generation NSX will use hybrid power as the power source, and use hybrid power to achieve unprecedented driving pleasure. The production model of the new generation NSX will be launched in the United States in the next three years, and put on the China market as soon as possible. NSX is the highest symbol of Acura brand. The new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD four-wheel drive system adopted by the new generation NSX Concept represents the new height of Acura brand in advanced technology and its future development direction, and expresses Acura's new pursuit of creating the ultimate driving pleasure.
The first generation NSX, code-named NA 1, adopts the rear-wheel drive style of the mid-engine advertised by super sports cars, achieving a perfect weight distribution ratio close to 50: 50. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter DOHC 24V engine. Through Honda's original VTEC variable valve timing system, the maximum output horsepower is 270 HP, matching with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and the acceleration time of 0- 100 km/h is less than 6 seconds.
However, the advantage of NSX lies in the lightweight aluminum double wishbone suspension system before and after body matching, which is enough to launch a strong impact on celebrities such as Ferrari and Porsche. Of course, the investment in cost and technology by car manufacturers is bound to be expensive.
Even Honda has set up a special technical team to produce NSX models in the exclusive factory in Tochigi, Japan. In this year, NSX can produce as many as 25 cars a day, and each NSX costs $65,000. This is the most expensive model in the history of Japanese automobile industry.
