This is a '19 Honda NSX, marketed as the Acura NSX in other countries. Designed by Michelle Christensen, the NSX is a mid-engined all-wheel drive hybrid sports car manufactured by Honda, acting as a successor model to the previous generation NSX which was discontinued in 2005. Unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show for the 2017 model year, the NSX is powered by a 3.5L JNC twin-turbocharged V6 and two Twin-Motor Unit electric motors making 573 BHP; this is mated to a 9-speed dual clutch. Unlike many of Honda's cars and the previous generation NSX, the second generation NSX is not produced in Japan; it is produced at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio.
In 2019, the car was updated with stiffer front and rear stabilizer bars, new tires, optimizations of the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system and slightly increased performance. Three new colors were also available from the 2019 to 2021 model years. Due to generally poor sales the NSX was slowly discontinued in various markets and a final Type S version was produced in 2022. 2,908 were produced.
Now this casting was designed by the late Ryu Asada and introduced in 2016 in the Then and Now series of the mainline. This casting has seen sixteen known releases, the last in 2022 in the Entertainment series.
