For $17,500, this Acura NSX is a hot mess

When Honda was designing its all-aluminum super car, the NSX, they turned to Ayrton Senna for help in tuning its handling. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe 1992 Acura may not demand the mad skills of Senna, or his lifetime winnings to buy, but would you be able to handle its salvage title? More »

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! We had another too-close-to-call one yesterday, with the Toyota 4x4 Van and the Dodge Caravan Turbo locked in a 176-171 near-tie, according to the Choose Your Eternity poll. Today we're going to escape from Suburban Minivan Land and roll down the mean streets of the Early Gangsta Rap Era, with the kind of rides that Ice-T wannabes might have selected for high-speed runs to Vegas back in the day. And, yes, it's another upstart challenging a mighty PCH Superpower: Japan versus Italy!

Acura Boasts New NSX Will Kick GT-R's Launch-Controlled Ass

Mark Arnold — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 13:20:00 EDT

The new Acura NSX has been in development for some time now, having been spotted testing on the Nürburgring numerous times, but nobody knew if all that screaming V10 power would be enough to outperform the Nissan GT-R. Now, Honda Executive Vice President Koichi Kondo, has stated that ~~Mothra~~ the new NSX, though more expensive than Godzilla, will indeed have better performance. Kondo also expects only 1000 units will be sold in the US per year. But doesn't that make it more of a competitor for higher-end machinery? More »

Acura NSX-R To Come Statestide Causing Fanboys To Swoon For Spoon

Can't wait for the V10-powered 2010 Acura NSX? Good news, friend, as Japanese tuner Spoon is planning to convert left-hand-drive previous-generation Acura NSX's into fire-breathing Acura NSX-Rs and ship them to the US. The bespoke NSX-R will first be going on a crash diet: Body panels get replaced by carbon fiber, thinner rear glass is installed, lightweight wheels are mounted, the spare is replaced with a can of goop, sound deadening gets nixed and so on. Then comes the fun. More »

Edmunds Disrobes New Acura NSX

Ray Wert — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 08:00:00 EDT

Edmunds' JDM friends at Auto Holiday Magazine have put together some rendered speculation of the new Acura NSX using the spy photos of the 2010 supercar spotted on the Nürburgring in Art Nouveau leopard print. If these sans-camouflage shots are spot on, the new NSX will look — according to Edmunds — "neat but not gorgeous...following the 2007 Detroit Auto Show concept car's lines closer than first thought." Of course it would. More »

Acura NSX V10 May Get Cylinder Deactivation, Acura RL May Get V10

Ben Wojdyla — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:20:00 EDT

According to 7Tune, Honda is concerned about their environmental image with the new 5.5-liter V10 they plan on dropping between the rails of the new 2010 Acura NSX. We're now told Honda plans to employ "Variable Cylinder Management" to deactivate an entire bank of cylinders in the V10 in cruising situations to greatly improve fuel economy. That's all well and good, but what do the prospective power numbers look like on this new engine? And what of other rumors for the big V10? More »

Even More Of The 2010 Acura NSX Rounding The 'Ring

Ben Wojdyla — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:20:00 EDT

Yes, we've seen the 2010 Acura NSX making a big splash with its camouflaged world debut in Germany. We've also briefly seen the car making its way around the Nürburgring's Nordschleife. Now, however, we're going to sit back and soak in that V10 symphony thanks to a new video providing over three minutes of footage straight from the 'ring. Our assumption is Honda wasn't content with that 7:37 'ring run after hearing all the hubbub about the 2009 Corvette ZR1 making a run in 7:26.4. So they've gone back out — testing and tweaking away. The life of a test engineer must be a heavy burden to bear. Video after the jump. More »

2010 Acura NSX Screams Around The 'Ring

Mark Arnold — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EDT

We love Bridge To Gantry. The Nürburgring-obsessed site now has video of Honda's Godzilla-hunting 2010 Acura NSX replacement ripping up the track, and the scream coming from the tailpipes sounds fantastic. We expect the sonorous mill is a 5.5-liter i-VTEC V10 that should make about 550 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque, but you should check out the video after the jump to judge for yourself. More »

2010 Acura NSX Reportedly Already Running 7:37 at Nurburgring

Ben Wojdyla — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:01:00 EDT

Yes the recently seen 2010 Acura NSX is on the Nurburgring apparently attempting to fulfill a mandate from Honda CEO Takeo Fukai to beat the Nissan GT-R's best time of 7:29. According to sources on-site, the new front-engined embodiment of the NSX has been unofficially clocked running a scorching 7m 37s, nipping at the heels of Godzilla. Of course, these numbers mean nothing until we get official times, but if this car is already running quick in prototype form, you have to wonder what it will do when it's ready for the public.

2010 Acura NSX Is Real After All

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:26:55 EDT

Even though we thought the Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept from the 2007 Detroit Auto Show was a bit of a stinker when it came to telegraphing the 2010 Acura NSX, it looks like the shape has finally evolved into the real deal. That's right, here is the first look we've gotten at the front-engined successor to the mid-engined supercar. Clad in heavy camo, the scion of the NSX is rumored to be sporting a V10 under that long bonnet, and we wouldn't be surprised to hear of some magical transmission trickery either. We also wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a fast one and released it as a 2009 model, considering how far along this one seems. But all of this has us a bit... confused.

PCH, Ten Grand To Glory Edition: Acura NSX or '59 Corvette?

Murilee Martin — Fri, 16 May 2008 17:20:00 EDT

The extremely cheap, extremely sketchy (putatively) NSX-engine-powered Acura Legend obliterated the dime-a-dozen turbo Civic in yesterday's Choose Your Eternity poll, which is about what we expected. So what if we could find not just an NSX engine but an entire car for cheap (well, maybe entire isn't the right word here, but you get the idea)- what then? Well, then we have quite a dilemma when trying to find something to stack up against the Acura, a car that's equally cool, in spittin' distance of the NSX's price range, and hideously expensive when it comes to part obtainment. Perhaps it's an impossible task, but let's see how things sort out in today's Detroit-versus-Japan matchup! More »
