2019 ACURA NSX: THE EVERYDAY SUPERCAR?

EV Channels Review

The 2019 Acura NSX is presented as the 'everyday supercar,' a hybrid machine designed for both daily commuting and track performance. The review highlights its advanced hybrid all-wheel-drive system, powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 and three electric motors, producing 573 horsepower. The vehicle's construction at Honda's Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio is detailed, emphasizing meticulous attention to detail and the option for customer involvement in the build process. On the road, the NSX is praised for its composed handling, even on imperfect surfaces, and its ability to make the driver feel more capable. The dynamic mode selector, particularly 'Track Mode' for consistency, is noted. While the reviewer finds the car brilliant and easy to drive fast, they express reservations about the $190,000 price tag, suggesting it's a bit rich and preferring a different color. Practicality is limited by a small trunk. A key takeaway is the reviewer's significantly changed opinion from a previous drive, now appreciating the NSX's performance and technological prowess, especially its hybrid system's role in handling and launches. Guest Larry Kosilla from AMMO NYC compares it to his Audi R8, acknowledging the NSX's superior performance metrics but favoring the R8 for its emotional connection and driving sensation.
