AutoVolo UK | Honda NSX Review

LONDON - July 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Summary (https://www.autovolo.co.uk/expert-reviews/127)

The new NSX seems to be at the cutting edge of automotive technology, but is it a great supercar?
An awful lot. The NSX has been in the works for some time, but has only recently been pushed through. Underneath, it's a high-tech car. Mated to a twin-turbo V6 engine are not one but three electric motors. They provide almost instantaneous acceleration on a par with the Porsche 911 and Audi R8.

Looks & Image (https://www.autovolo.co.uk/expert-reviews/127)

The NSX is an out-and-out sports car, and appears to have the looks to match. Ducts and air intakes certainly make it stand out from the crowd, while heavy creases on both the bonnet and boot break up the car's panels. There are also LED lights at the front and rear, and a full clamshell boot that opens to reveal a decent-sized boot and that all-important engine.
Inside, there are two deeply padded bucket seats that sit down low in the car.

Space & Practicality (https://www.autovolo.co.uk/expert-reviews/128)

Of course, a two-seater sports car is never going to be a strong choice when it comes to practicality. That said, the boot is large enough for a set of golf clubs or two medium-sized weekend bags, but that's about it. In the main cabin, a glovebox compartment can store around four small water bottles – but there aren't any cupholders to put them in once opened.

Behind the Wheel (https://www.autovolo.co.uk/expert-reviews/128)
Here's where the NSX really shines. Firstly, there are four driving modes to choose from: Quiet, Sports, Sports+ and Track. The first of those four modes is just that – quiet. That means that when pulling away, the car stays in
all-electric mode with the petrol engine chirping into play soon after. It remains quiet even then, thanks to some clever shielding of the exhaust note and a system that can cut down to just two of the four exhaust pipes available.
Jump to Sport, and the car begins to tighten up. Throttle response is improved and the entire car firms up. Sport+ is an extension of that, while Track puts the NSX into full attack mode and allows the traction control a certain degree of slip, meaning that it will happily go into an oversteer situation should it arise.
In every mode, the NSX rides impressively. On track, it manages to be firm and controllable, while out on the road it deals well with bumps and potholes without ever losing its agility through the corners.


Pedal weights are spot-on too, with the brake – which was linked to optional carbon ceramic discs in our test car – neither too sharp nor too spongy. The nine-speed dual-clutch automatic also shifts seamlessly in full auto mode, but is impressively responsive in its manual setting. The car will hang on to gears right through to the top of the rev range should you want it to, and the paddle shifters have a good weight to them when you do eventually want to shift.
A launch control system is also fitted to the NSX, and it's one of the simplest versions we've seen. While in Track mode, simply hold the brake with one foot while flooring the accelerator with the other. Lift the brake, and it'll rocket forward without the merest hint of tyre squeal. Honda engineers haven't yet given out official figures, but they hint that the sprint from 0-62mph can be reached in under three seconds. It certainly feels that quick.
Value for Money (https://www.autovolo.co.uk/expert-reviews/128)
At £130,000 without options, the NSX certainly isn't cheap. That said, it's no more or less expensive than rivals such as the Audi R8 V10 and Porsche 911 Turbo. However, for that money, you do get quite an array of technology, from the trio of electric motors to the torque vectoring drive system.
It's also an accomplished car for both road and track, able to conquer the weekly trip to the shops just as easily as a lap of the Nurburgring. The NSX is a true daily driver, albeit one with supreme performance.
There's no doubting that the NSX carries a considerable price tag. But given how well it drives, as well as how it looks, it certainly seems worth the money.
Who would buy one? (https://www.autovolo.co.uk/expert-reviews/128)
Someone who wants to get the most from their car every day. Like mentioned previously, this is a car that will be adept at the day-to-day tasks that ordinary cars undertake, so long as you don't need to carry more than one passenger.
