About the Honda NSX (NA1)

The NA1 Honda NSX changed what people expected from a mid-engine sports car. It combined aluminium construction, a high-revving V6 and everyday usability in a package that was easier to drive and maintain than many European rivals. It is not just a JDM icon; it is a landmark in sports-car engineering.
