Todays post is dedicated to one of my favorite cars, the Honda NSX. Seeing one in the opening scene of Fast Five has had me thinking about them lately. First released in 1990, it was meant to be a competitor to the Ferraris and Porsches of the time. Touted as the first supercar to be reliable and economical to drive everyday, it was still full of typical Honda technological wizardry. It used an aluminium monocoque chassis which was super light and super rigid, it was also one of the first cars to feature an electronic throttle. The engine, a 3.2L V6 was the first road engine to feature Honda's hot blooded VTEC system first seen on F1 cars. Unfortunately Honda stopped making the car in 2005, however rumours are saying that Honda is working on a successor to the NSX. But these are just rumours so we'll just have to wait and see
