Acura NSX | One Last Trip Down Memory Lane

We traveled to Japan to discuss the history and development of the first-generation NSX with the original Honda engineering team responsible for cars such as Integra and S2000. They helped explain the past and how it applies to the future application of sports cars. While the original owners and design team continue to age, the car stays relevant thanks to a new generation of enthusiasts, keeping the story alive.

Wonder if your NSX C30 hit the (confidential) X number of hours at full throttle before a crank bearing gave up the ghost? I've tracked mine a few times as Shigeru Uehara intended this car to be driven hard, and never did I feel like I was abusing it, not for one second.

[@LapoftheWorld]

@@jamesyu4901 Ha! I don't actually know who has put the most full-throttle time on a C30 before failure. There are several in the community with over 10k track miles, but I'm not sure how many are still on the original motor. I suspect it was a cost thing, but if I could ask these gentlemen anything it would be if, and how much, they considered a dry sump, or if tire tech at the time was so far from making that a concern that it wasn't even on the radar.

[@jamesyu4901]

@@LapoftheWorld I'd wager you probably had the most track hours + most odometer hours of any stock engined NSX in the world. I am not sure the failure was due to any lapse in design consideration. The NSX engineers were purposeful on designing object to last many decades of use at it's normal operational state, maybe they set an unusually high intended limit. Either way, I think Shigeru was right in that they greatly overshot their goal. What is more amazing is how they achieved this on the first try.

I own a NSX-T and had a s2000…and always wondered why s2000 never had any cowl shake but my T does no matter the additional braces. Hearing the ideas of steel A piller and that T was a compromised design made so much sense listening to the engineers. So much regret in their voice too. And I can sense those guys are perfectionists. Thanks for the video.

[@jamestaylor3149]

I’ve owned a few NSX-T’s over the years and also found this part interesting. The coupe always felt like a sharp instrument. The T was like a slightly blunt pencil. The feedback through the steering was frustrating and distracting. On a bumpy road, you could actually see the wheel move. I guess the long flexible A-pillar caused some of this reverberation. I’d wondered whether a T-top (MR2) design might have worked better. However, on a smooth road it was great with the roof off, open top motoring is something special. Strangely, I prefer the EPS on the later cars. You lose some feel, but it irons out some of the road feedback which I like. It’s also a lot less physical on hairpins and low speed corners.

[@TheBilliardCorner]

1 hour Savagegeese NSX special, holy moly. We are blessed.

[@jimmy-buffett]

I owned an '06 S2000 and a '00 NSX. The joke I tell about the difference between these cars is that the NSX is all the torque you wish the S2000 had for 4 times the price. In all other ways they were so similar, you could really tell that they came from the same place and from the same people. Visibility, shifter feel, steering feel in both were excellent. It was a beautiful car, a real treat to drive every time. I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to own and be the caretaker of one.

[@alipaguia6498]

To those who bash the 2nd-gen NSX, please watch this video. Even though this documentary focuses on the 1st-gen's development, it is evident that the philosophy of the NSX still permeated the development of the 2nd-gen one. You had an engineer that was involved from 1st-gen NSX, to S2000, ending with the 2nd-gen NSX, and the engineers themselves said that the NSX was a product of the times. The 1st one was a product of a desire within Honda to solve a problem in the supercar world: supercars required sacrifices for you to enjoy them. The 2nd one was a template for the medium-term future of the supercar: electrification. The 1st one surely brought us Ferraris that are livable, and the R8. The 2nd one brought us the Artura, the 296, and the upcoming 992.2 Hybrid. The engineers even said that the SH-AWD of the 2nd gen was inspired by the learnings of the 1st-gen NSX's driving characteristics. NSX is a trendsetter. Yes, the handling of the 1st-gen was brilliant and the electronics may have dampened the 2nd-gen's driving dynamics. But people may seem to forget that NSX was also a technological showpiece for Honda and their vision of what the future of sportscars and supercars could be. Kudos to savagegeese for creating a documentary that not only shows appreciation for the 1st-gen NSX, but also showing what the letters N, S, and X truly mean, straight from its creators!

[@rphoenix5908]

fair point about the 2nd gen NSX... I just really wish it had come with a manual, if nothing else. Though I dream that they made a simpler (and lighter) trim with just RWD and no hybrid systems/motors too (the race car version was like that). But I'm not against most of that tech per se, I just think (like the engineers mentioned about having to rebalance the electronic aids to get the same feel back) it would have benefitted from a better balance back in the direction of driver connectedness. (Not like I'll ever own one or probably ever drive one anyway though.)

[@barryrodgers3039]

[@joetacchino4470]

Just remembering how dominant the Big H was at engineering from the late 80’s until 2000 makes me nostalgic. The amount of performance per dollar, and engineering per dollar, was simply astronomical. Something as simple as a 4 cylinder Accord drove and handled as well as a contemporary BMW, Audi or Mercedes.. We had the Germans in my family and other family members had (still have) Honda. Drove them back to back. Honda held itself up masterful,y.

[@philipjacob2314]

100 percent agree. I always thought Honda is a stand out company from Japan that always had cars that perform and have characteristics that feel similar to German vehicles. They are different still but Honda has a special quality to the way that most of their cars feel while driving. They engineer that feeling into the cars.

[@barryfastcars25]

I dream of a reality that in the later 2000's Honda developed a direct successor to the NSX and the S2000. I desperately want to see an evolution of the 2005 NSX. Ultra clean design, updated materials for the chassis and body to reduce weight while increasing rigidity. Then a 3.5L DOHC VTEC V6 paired with a 6 speed manual that doesn't adhere to the gentlemen's agreement of 280hp. A 3.5L would have likely been tuned to 100hp per liter so about 350hp and 250lbft. Then for the generation after that in around 2015, just implement a mild hybrid setup while keeping the NA V6 revving to 8000rpm and the 6 speed manual. My dream for the S2000 was for it to be updated to an S3000 using a 3 liter version of the NSX motor with 300hp. The 60 degree design of most Honda motors would mean it would fit almost better than the 4 cylinder in the front of an updated S2000 chassis. A guy can dream right?

[@aprtur]

Just FYI, the C series engines (Inspire, Saber, Legend, NSX) are 90° V6s, so the packaging would be a colossal issue in the S2000 engine bay. Honda NA/HPD did modify a few S2000s with the J series V6 (60°), though, so that can and has been done.

[@kaileysweeney4240]

I believe the Acura (Honda) NSX is one of the most important sports cars ever made, certainly of the 1990’s. The most striking sports cars of the 1990’s are the NSX, the Dodge Viper and the Porsche 993. It is the NSX that forced Ferrari back to the drawing board to develop the sublime 360 Modena, but the NSX showed what a sports car could be, easy to live with, reliable, fast and beautiful. I know plenty of cars even from the era are quicker, but I don’t think any matched the overall balance of the NSX and the design of the NSX looks modern even today. I like the 2nd generation NSX. I’m a bit sorry that Honda didn’t build a lighter, simpler NSX with a V-6 and a manual absent the complex hybrid system. Still, I think the 2nd generation NSX is underrated and history will recognize it for the great sports car that it is. In an alternate universe, I imagine an NSX that sold well, that evolved through multiple generations to exist today and into the future as the Japanese 911, perfection of balance in a sports car with a Japanese design language and personality. Well it wasn’t meant to be… still I love this video. Thank you for creating the definitive documentary on a car as important and beautiful as any Ferrari. This car, the 993/911, a manual V-8 Audi R8 and the Mercedes AMG SLS remain my hero cars, any or all of which I’d love to drive and preserve in my garage.

Of all the videos you’ve produced, this is by far my favorite. This was my poster brought to life. Thank you doesn’t cover it, but all I can do is say thank you.

Amazing work, thank you for showing such love and passion in your work, thats for you SG and Honda

What hits me is the people behind this car has aged gracefully but yet their creation will stay the same for all generations to marvel at, an engineering art on 4 wheels

As a Honda fanboy, I paused my day to watch this. Was not disappointed 👏👏 well done gentlemen.

[@johnshaw3208]

Big thanks to Mark, Jack and all involved in preserving history and this incredible deep dive into Honda NSX. 🙏🙏🙏

[@chascade5135]

Thanks! You guys do such an amazing job of capturing the story behind the vehicle, you bring life to the inanimate

[@jonnyj.]

Yes!! Ive been waiting for this for ages, ever since you said a NSX documentary was coming. Getting to hear all this DIRECTLY from the japanese engineers, so damn cool Also Horiuchi's talk at 15:36 about aluminium materials science was so interesting. Plus he looked so happy to be able to talk about it :D

[@macmacma]

Yes!!! Been waiting for an nsx video from you guys for 6+ years. Thank you!!!

[@henrik1743]

So glad to have found your channel years ago at barely 100k subscribers, best auto channel out here

[@reneec6141]

I love that you took the utmost care to do the translation for subtitles instead of voiceover. It adds SO much to the film!!!

[@bluekkid]

It's here! Thank you so much for putting this together the way you wanted!

[@extra-dry]

That last line does a perfect job of summing up. Take care of your NSX, and it will take care of you. Exactly.. Try to find any other car, approaching 35 years old, that hasn't been "restored", in order to still be usable everyday. The most "restoration" mine has had, has been soap & water, period.

[@ErikBeach]

OMG It's finally out! Congrats guys this was so much work I can't wait to watch.

[@TokyoOlympics2020]

Amazing work, thank you for showing such love and passion in your work, thats for you SG and Honda!

[@TarmacBlast]

Amazing work! Thank you for putting this together. I had forgotten you were working on this project.

[@1Springloaded]

Saved to files. Thanks SG. This should air on PBS.

[@ansuman3900]

It's finally here, at long last the nsx video yall have been talking about is here. Amazing video, the car is a living legend

[@zcleary1]

This is a treasure. Thank you for making it and to all those that shared their stories and knowledge.

[@JurisKankalis]

The amount of appreciation and respect for the people telling their engineering stories thas has gone into this video is mind-boggling. I don't think there are many (any?) other car channels that could take on a task like this and execute it in a manner this respectful and appreciative. I don't think channels like any of the canadians (Straight Pipes, Throttle House) or any of the amooooricans (Doug or Gears and Gasoline or any other US-based channels, no matter how much they might value the JDM scene) have it in them to carry out such vidoes with - yes, for the third time - the necessary respect and appreciation (no idea how else to call them). Also - not many other channels could make a Nissan Murano (or whatever that thing was called) Sport Cabrio SUV video at that level - which was also brilliant - but for totally different reasons. Keep up the work, the number of subscribers seems un-representative of the quality level. Respect and appreciation (jesus.. for the fourth time) from Latvia.

Truly exceptional work done by those pioneering engineers at Honda back in the day when money was no object. Even though the cost of producing such an amazing documentary will most likely never break even, I'm still so thankful that the 2 man crew that is SavageGeese made it happen anyway out of pure passion for automotive journalism and the respect for historically significant cars such as the NSX.

[@pavu8469]

For Mark's beef and cheddar

[@RixisLV]

One of the best videos ever, thank You SG team. Lost for words!

[@ADUSN]

Thanks Jack/Mark. I look forward to every upload, been watching since 2014
