1991 VS 2019 HONDA (ACURA) NSX - HEAD TO HEAD REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This head-to-head review pits a 1991 Acura NSX against its 2019 successor, focusing not on outright speed but on whether the new model lives up to the original's 'New Sportscar eXperimental' ethos. The 1991 NSX is lauded for its raw, analog driving experience, communicative steering, excellent visibility, and surprising daily drivability, despite its limitations on track due to smaller tires and soft suspension. The 2019 NC1 NSX, with its hybrid powertrain, twin-turbo V6, and torque-vectoring AWD, is praised for its incredible speed and confidence-inspiring handling. While initially skeptical of its digitized nature, the reviewer finds the new NSX surprisingly natural and communicative, with a compliant suspension and potent, seamless acceleration thanks to its electric motors. The reviewer concludes that the new NSX successfully carries the NSX spirit forward, embracing new technology to enhance the driving experience, much like the original did in its era. The only minor critique is occasional transmission hesitation during downshifts.
