Acura NSX 2005
The Acura NSX was a car of firsts. It was the first production car to feature aluminum construction for its body structure, body panels, suspension and engine. Its engine was the first to feature variable valve timing and a variable-volume intake manifold. It was the first Japanese sports car sold in America to truly go head-to-head with the world’s best. Furthermore, all of this ichiban stuff came from an automotive brand that, at the NSX’s debut, had been in existence for just five years. Despite all of its finely honed excellence, however, the Acura NSX makes an interesting case study for what went wrong. After 15 years of the car’s production, Acura had sold only about 8,900 NSXs; for comparison, Chevrolet typically sells at least that many Corvettes in just one year. Acura is said to be working on a replacement but for now the NSX is RIP. Some people dismissed Acura’s exotic as being too bland and Honda-like. But could it have been anything different? In the early ’90s, most high-performance exotics suffered from poor visibility and awful ergonomics.

Evolved from a rich racing heritage, the Acura NSX combines world-class performance and styling with exceptional driveability and refinement. The 2001 NSX is the benchmark for Acura technology having established itself as a leader in the exotic supercar segment over the past 10 years. "The NSX has redefined the exotic sports car through state-of-the-art, lightweight technology, class-leading performance and unprecedented levels of luxury and refinement," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president, Acura Division. The 2001 NSX offers two mid-ship mounted distinct powertrains. First is a lightweight, all-aluminum 3.2-liter, DOHC, 24-valve, 90-degree V-6 engine yielding 290 horsepower and 224 lbs-ft of torque, coupled to a 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission. When equipped with the optional 4-speed automatic transmission with Formula One-inspired sequential SportShift, the NSX powerplant is a 3.0-liter V-6 engine that generates 252 horsepower and 210 lbs-ft of torque. Both NSX engines are equipped with Acura’s patented Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system, an ingenious Variable Volume Induction System, direct ignition and the computerized PGM-FI fuel injection system pioneered in Formula One racing.
