We've already delivered our full verdict on the Honda NSX, but it'd be rude not to delve into some of the car's fascinating technical aspects.
It’s way stiffer than a Ferrari 458 Italia
- As well as a Porsche 991 911 GT3 and a McLaren 12C, the NSX development team bought a pair of Ferrari 458s for analysis. One of these was almost completely dissected, its sacrifice providing vital information. Thanks in part to the analysis of the Ferrari, the NSX’s multi-material space frame - made of that funky 3D quenched ultra high-strength steel, aluminium and bog steel - enjoys 300 per cent the dynamic torsional stiffness of the 458’s own space frame, and 200 per cent the static torsional stiffness. It’s the most rigid car in class, too.
