STORY

The Acura NSX is a mid-engine sports car first launched in 1990 as a supercar that could be used every day. Ayrton Senna gave input during development, and it had a pioneering all-aluminum body. Its naturally aspirated VTEC V6 and sharp handling showed that a supercar could also be easy to live with. A second generation arrived in 2016 as a 573-hp hybrid with three electric motors and a twin-turbo V6.
