Product Overview

Acura / Honda NSX Mk2 (chassis code NC1) is a mid-size sports car in production from 2016 to 2022. It was available with a single bi-turbo V6 engine that displaced 3.5 liters. Interestingly, the car uses a 9-speed DCT transmission with full hybridization.

Like its predecessor, the Mk2 NSX is limited to a V6 engine, which requires an additional balance shaft. Since Honda never made a larger engine, this part can be forgiven.

Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.37 coefficient of drag to show for it. Utility-minded owners will likely need to keep an alternative for hauling things around, as the tiny cargo space is almost surely insufficient.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Acura NSX II comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear.

Reviewers from cnet have found:

The 2019 Acura NSX starts at $157,500. The seats are comfortable, the cabin roomy and the infotainment system comprehensive. The front motors, one per wheel, don't add power so much as agility. The steering is razor-sharp and the brakes offer a pristine feel that never fades.

Pros

Sleek looks
Impressive performance
Excellent infotainment system

Cons

Lack of in-cabin tech
