The Honda NSX. Nobody expected it. Nobody expected a
supercar, or even a normal car to come out of Japan to tackle the best
the Europeans were offering. Marques from Ferrari, Lamborghini,
Maserati, Porsche, and many more. No one really dared to take the
challenge that time, and the current models offered by rivals Toyota,
Nissan and Mazda were nothing to the Europeans at that time.(Sorry JDM
fans).
Honda had nothing at that time, so they took the opportunity to build the first Japanese supercar to tackle the best of Ferrari. They had high hopes for this project. What started out as an experiment turned out to be a Japanese legend. Even the McLaren F1, the previous record holder of the world’s fastest car’s design was inspired by the NSX.
Timeless, elegant design by legendary design studio Pininfarina, Honda’s advanced engine technology, a lightweight body, and even co-developed by Formula 1 legend Aryton Senna, it was a recipe for perfection. One that would re-define and revolutionize the face of Japanese cars, one that would force the Europeans to step up their game, and one that made the undisputed king of sports car at that time, Ferrari, tremble to their knees.
This blog embodies the history of this legendary Japanese supercar, its variants, its racing history and even its rebirth. Two decades of iconic Japanese history compressed into one blog.
