My Lamborghini driving in high school! Funny reactions Supercar!
These days, a silent hybrid is not great but what we do not often see in our suburban streets is a car-silent but deadly race that makes 573 horsepower while walking slowly I recently drove the Acura NSX in 2017 a slice of small town Americana near Connecticut Lime rock raceway Park, a real life Main Street, USA and while people could barely hear me coming, they probably heard me go.
The new NSX is a compromise of an engine sports car that can play well as a luxury sedan when it chooses, but has a naughtier, gnarled hand, too large, it is an original exercise Acura dichotomy, which, for better or worse, makes an excellent daily driver.
In silent mode, the hybrid supercar is almost serene, with its electrical bias More call mode turbo button, and healthy growl of 3 5-liter V-6 engine remind you that this is still a serious sports car that grunt, coincidentally, was exactly what I wanted in a small town on the border of New York Connecticut when I revved the engine, head turned a van came to a stop in a restaurant, old, balding men pointed cameras phone emerged there he was, in all his glory, why most people like to drive a supercar automobile envy.
The NSX has earned its street cred well before the 2017 model entered production Her cult like following dates in 1990 NSXs first generation the first mass production of cars with body while aluminum have been made for a decade and a half and have become coveted among collectors, pillars of the Japanese supercar scene.
He is a great reputation, and the 2017 NSX certainly looks like it means business The black roof and large set rear lights are the first generation signature clues, while functional air intakes give the new NSX his face threatening more later that day, parked on a country road, the body taken cherry red aluminum light at just the right reflection, and many not a people, many drawn from the road for a closer look.
But despite its aggressive appearance, the interior of the NSX is remarkably comfortable, the seats hug the body; it is more like a cockpit than the driver's seat My favorite part of the interior is a little detail the hidden stitching on the steering wheel that feels like sewing well sewed suit jacket The wheel is in contrast buttons, buttons and screen, which are reminders that the NSX background is always faithful, shooting right-Honda again, for better or for worse.
So do NSX mustard have to compete with the Ferrari 458s in the world is not on Acura bluntly that goal, but the real answer depends on what the driver is looking.
On the one hand, it is difficult to dismiss allegations of 0 to 60 in 3 seconds and a top speed of 191 miles per hour Honda returned to the drawing board several times to adjust the car on its way to production Acura, the scrapping of the original powertrain plans called for a V-6 engine normally aspirated the company finally settled on a twin-turbo V-6 that makes 500 horsepower and 406 lb- ft of torque, and combined with the juice of the electric motors and the nine speed double clutch transmission, sends extra power to the wheels that add to the NSX grace cornering and combined straights, the car is good for 573 horses and 476 lb-ft of torque that means is that NSX has serious references racetrack, but it doesn t have a problem regaining his composure is crisp, fast and reckless when you want that it is my is it can easily be found in I ruled the sweet spot in Sport plus mode, which sounds good and offers ridiculously responsive performance.
The byproduct of the hybrid powertrain NSX is its modest for a supercar, anyway fuel consumption, which was about 21 miles per gallon on my test vehicle engineers also invented a new structure for car that makes the chassis durable aluminum mainly on the front and rear Don not expect to see mega NSXs accidents like those nasty YouTube videos Ferrari if I was driving late May-wheel drive on a soft day I guess with a good set of winter tires, it may even rise to the occasion sleet and snow.
A small close-knit team of Ohio's engineers did a lot of work on this car, in fact, curiously, the NSX is the only Japanese supercar that can claim that he's quite in America, and when they lit I asked them if NSX is supposedly a driver every day that their intention was all along, it is a bit like the original NSX, which forced Ferrari to meet with some friendly driver settings as Acura returns to performance category, they're designed to attract customers to practice and passion.
Let's true for a moment and leave the ego at the door supercar.
Many passionate balk at a supercar playing safe, but let's be real for a moment and leave the ego at the door supercar In real life, the average person, even one that may fall 157800 on a round little time for the race in the weekly calendar, which means that the Ferraris gather dust in the garage for luxury sedans more convenient, but the NSX is more flexible raw appeal of high performance other than insanity, there is something to say about the decadence of power to the tool comfortably around this car.
But the approach is working fine supercar at the dealership's new NSX has just entered production in the last few days it has no long to find out.
