Honda NSX, The Truly Usable Sports Car
from Auto/Motive · host A/M
Honda NSX In this episode, I cover the Honda NSX. This Japanese sports car was developed in the late 1980s and was released in 1990. This car would quickly gain a following thanks to its impressive handling, incredible visibility (the car used an F-16 fighter jet as inspiration), its relative cheapness, and its reliability. Despite the NSX never having all that much power, the joy of the NSX comes from its ability to be driven much more than most other cars of this caliber. Thanks for listening!
