Honda NSX boss takes “Ferrari for the Poor” title picture
The legendary Honda NSX is the basis for the Swiss Ferrari 360 replica. The owner wants a reliable proud horse without high maintenance costs. Currently, this one-of-a-kind creation is being sold at a similar price to a real Ferrari. Very few cars of the 1990s blended supercar performance with everyday usability like the original Honda NSX. For sale under the Acura badge in North America, NSX quickly established its reputation as one of the most balanced and ideal machines of its time, not only for its speed and precise handling, but also for its near-protective reliability. It's the kind of car that purists and collectors are still looking for. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que :()}; adpushup.que.push(function(){if(adpushup.config.platform!=="Desktop"){adpushup.triggerad("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-4db4-8135 c5088799a76a76a76f8") adpushup.triggerad("82503191-E1D1-435A-874F-9C78A2A54A2F"); More: This delusional Honda Civic thinks it's a Mercedes supercar At the time of publication, the media often tagged it as "the poor's Ferrari."

Honda Confirms It’s Working on an Electric Sports Car… But It Probably Won’t Be
Honda is one step closer to launching its first electric sports car, but the Japanese brand is holding off on giving it the iconic NSX name for now. Interviews with media including US publications Roads and Tracks At Monterey Car Week, Honda Global Executive Vice President Shinji Aoyama said the electric vehicle (EV) will be launched within four years and will be in the spirit of the NSX. "We will launch a sports model in 2027 or 2028," said Mr Aoyama. "We probably wouldn't call it the NSX. It's an NSX-type vehicle." It's the latest in the third-generation revival of the NSX, which was launched in 1990 as a V6-powered supercar rival and returned in 2016 as a hybrid model. The 2908th and final second-generation NSX rolled off the assembly line in the United States at the end of 2022. It was badged as Acura, Honda's North American luxury division, and rumors have already begun that its successor will be…
Acura confirms NSX electric successor coming in 2027/2028
Acura's upcoming supercar won't be a hybrid, but an all-electric, NSX-inspired machine. The new model is expected to be launched in 2027 and will adopt Honda's advanced 0 platform. Acura's goal was to create a supercar that was light and nimble, had a roomy cabin, and offered superior performance. Acura ended NSX production in 2022, leaving fans speculating about a successor. Despite rumors, nothing has been confirmed until now. An executive at the Japanese brand confirmed that a product with NSX DNA is indeed in the works. Fans who felt the previous generation was too complicated have reason to be excited, as the new model will not be a hybrid. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Just over a year ago, Acura revealed a concept for an electric supercar.

Take a closer look at Paul’s Acura NSX
As the modified Casino White supercar pulls up to the entrance of the hotel where we'll be shooting, the purring sound of the NSX's twin-turbo V6 engine can be easily heard. It's a unique sound, and aside from the cosmetic modifications, it's what sets it apart from every other NSX on the road. The car belongs to Paul, a local resident and longtime customer of ours. His NSX holds a special place in Chicago (and in our shop), and I wanted to see what makes this Acura so unique. So, on a sunny summer evening, I set up my camera and, in perfect light, began to explore what sets Paul's NSX apart from every other car on the road. The XPEL STEALTH paint protection film we installed gave the crisp white paint a nearly matte look. And, while the film provides a matte look, it's still clear enough to let light shine through and get some of the original shine…
