The original Acura NSX was first launched in the early 1990s, with less than 10,000 units sold between its release until 2005. A little over 10 years after, the next-generation Acura NSX gets a nicer upgrade.
Yahoo! News reports on the high-end mods that the new Acura NSX showcases today. Though a little over twice the amount from its predecessor at $157,800, the Acura NSX is a force to reckon with.
Fitted with a twin-turbo V6 engine plus three electric motors, the next-gen Acura NSX's powertrain gives off a combined 573 hp. Not far behind its top competitors, the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918, which top-bill at almost a million in value each.
Field tests on the new Acura NSX is like playing a game of superfast cars. The NSX's torque muscle action generates speed for its wheels, which in turn stabilize the car's sharp turns. This action allows the driver to do a quick accelerator push.
Other inviting aspects that goes with the next-gen Acura NSX would be that of its highly functional design and low-noise quality. A little heavy on the side (at 3,803 lbs), the Acura's audio graphics makes it quite a steal, though.
