2018 ACURA NSX - ONE TAKE

EV Channels Review

The 2018 Acura NSX is presented as a "new new experience" compared to its predecessor, a complex hybrid supercar boasting 570 HP from a twin-turbo V6 and three electric motors. The reviewer highlights its advanced all-wheel-drive system, enabled by independent front electric motors, which allows for remarkable torque vectoring and precise handling, minimizing understeer. Despite its 3,800-pound weight, the NSX offers a low center of gravity, tight steering, and a compliant suspension that excels on uneven roads. Positives include its staggering performance, slick gear changes, comfortable interior with ample space, and a unique, engaging driving experience that feels "digital" yet connected. Criticisms are minor, focusing on the low side window line impacting visibility and a peculiar rubber cement smell from the trunk area. The reviewer concludes that while it may not match the practicality of a 911 Turbo S, the NSX offers a spectacular, life-changing driving experience, especially on track, and represents excellent value for its performance level, particularly when compared to more expensive rivals.
