Honda Acura NSX, supercharged beast that’s making 740HP! In 1990, five years after the debut of the Legend and Integra, Acura introduced the NSX. It was a mid-engine V6 powered, rear-wheel-drive sports car. The NSX, an acronym for “New Sports eXperimental”, was billed as the first Japanese car capable of competing with Ferrari and Porsche.

This vehicle served as an “image car” for both the Honda and Acura brands, heralding the introduction of Honda’s VTEC technology. The NSX was the world’s first all-aluminum production car. It was also marketed and viewed by some as the “Everyday Supercar” thanks to its ease of use, quality and reliability, traits that were unheard of in the supercar segment at the time. With the release of the NSX, Acura introduced the “A-badge”, a stylized pair of calipers. This tool was used for exacting measurements to imply that Acura vehicles are built to precise and demanding standards.
The Honda Acura NSX gained prominence in the 1990s with a young group of customers – tuner enthusiasts. Parent company Honda’s reputation with this demographic as a maker of “easy-to-tune” and “rev-happy” engines rubbed off onto Acura, and it became a popular tuner car. Well, especially if it’s supercharged, we have no reason to complain. Check out this fine number here proudly exhibiting the 740HP!!
