How Honda changed supercars forever | The story of the NSX

[@NSXTRA]

The NSX is really just a spicy Honda Accord with a body kit and the engine in the wrong hole.

[@driftindonuts]

That is definitely a way to describe it 😂

The most stupid and ignorant thing I've read in a long time

[@bullittwood3320]

No, The Acura Legend and Ferrari F40 had a baby, the NSX was born!

[@hiramjew1523]

Heard the NSX origin story many times now and I never get tired of it. Truly they don't make them like this anymore. A timeless car!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TRIPLE BERLINA BLACK " NSX".... FOREVER STILL....!!! SUPERCAR EXTRAORDINARE......!

[@StudioVRM]

Great video. BTW, the Drift King's name is pronounced "Kay - ichi Tsu-chi-ya". You also had his picture on screen instead of Satoru Nakajima's at 6:55. But aside from that, it was a video worthy of the legendary NSX.

[@driftindonuts]

Thanks for letting me know I’ll make sure to double check next time!

[@24X7CARZ]

Yeah, for some reason North Americans almost always pronounce “ei” like in “Heidi” even though they know how to properly pronounce “geisha”.

[@brianmessemer2973]

@@24X7CARZ That's because of the large German ancestry in the US, leading to many words coming from German, and pronunciation rules along with it. In German, "when two vowels go a' walking, the second one does the talking" so the vowel combo "ei" you pronounce the letter "i".

[@uk_C32B]

Mr.Motoharu Kurosawa, who was the NSX development driver, is undoubtedly the best driver.

[@ApexOT]

Great video man! The NSX will always be one of my dream cars.

[@driftindonuts]

Thanks, they really are special vehicles

[@groovefunkel]

Perfect tribute.

[@eric-fz1np]

I remember in 1989 the first nsx at the motor show on national television I was 17 living in Ohio moved to Alaska in late 89 in 91 seen the nsx in person first nsx sold in Alaska at that time nsx was my dream car in 1999 living in Texas I drove the nsx the first time the nsx handled like a dream

[@driftindonuts]

I can’t even imagine driving an nsx in Alaska that’s crazy, but cool!

[@eric-fz1np]

@@driftindonuts lol from late April til late August we have 24 hours of warm sunlight shines brighter up here than the lower 48 plus Alaska is gorgeous like god's painting 🖌️ the last time I seen a nsx in the summer of 22

[@chehogg]

Still one of the best looking sports cars, ever! I wish they would of kept making incremental changes over time, like a Porsche 911. And kept making them through out the years.

Congrats on the car bro enjoy it there a blast!

[@cafe1na_]

When I was 15, I've played Gran Turismo for PSP a lot, and even in that game the NSX was simply different of any other cars in terms of driving and fun. Great video, mate!

That means so much homie ❤️ your vid was low key the inspiration for this video and one day I hope to be as good at story telling/presenting that you are!

The industrial designer who led work on the styling of the NSX was one of my teachers in college.

[@driftindonuts]

That must’ve been really cool! Anything interesting he said about it or what inspired it? I’m debating doing a video on the similarity between the NSX and the Nissan mid4 and mg ex-e and any info would be greatly appreciated!

[@24X7CARZ]

@@driftindonuts - His name is Andy Ogden I remember everyone was going crazy when the NSX first showed up in car magazines. In one class, I heard that Andy asked if the car everyone was excited about “looked like this,” then he pulled out a marker rendering of an NSX prototype he’d drawn years before the car actually went into production.

[@24X7CARZ]

@@driftindonuts - Andy has a website with a contact page. Maybe reach out to him and see if he’ll agree to be interviewed about the NSX.

Nice video , good detail overall and the B roll is nice .

[@driftindonuts]

[@hohohor3551]

Great video! Brilliant story telling and loved the part about the influence on the McLaren F1 development. But I do have things you could improve though. First is memorizing the script more. I'm not good at this either so who am I to say, but it does come off as unprepared. Second is getting names right. The Japanese driver was Satoru Nakajima, not Nakajimi (also, not shown correctly on screen), and Gordon Murray's name spelling. I don't wanna come across like a teacher criticizing a student for small essay mistakes, but I hope this helps to grow your channel more! Can't wait for more content from you!

[@driftindonuts]

The first use of variable valve timing was on the 1903 Cadillac Runabout and Tonneau created by Alanson Partridge Brush Patent 767,794 “INLET VALVE GEAR FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES” filed August 3rd, 1903, and granted August 16th, 1904.

[@manuelaguirre1062]

VTEC is like having 2 cams. A slow rpm one and a high rpm one. The 2nd lobe has different timing as well as greater valve lift. Its a very reliable system.

Agreed, this video is superb. Thank you for your diligently-crafted tribute. It's fitting, considering the subject. I've long dreamt of owning an NSX of my own someday, and plan to do so. I used to own its little brother: a '95 Integra Special Edition (in championship white), and what an incredible car that was. Would love to hear how you got your NSX, if you ever feel like sharing. Thanks again for your efforts and your time, man.

[@manuelaguirre1062]

Cool video. 2minor errors. The NSX put out 270 hp not 275 and it was not drive by wire until later. It also had a twin plate clutch ( 2 discs).

As the owner of a Spa Yellow 97 since 97 I take exception to being referred to as a member of a Cult Following.

I found your vid very accurate you did a great job.

[@Xayuap]

when Honda and McLaren worked together at f1, Murray said to Honda to but a bigger engine in the NSX. Honda said no, so he build the McF1 to but he couldn't ask Honda for an engine. so he ask Bmw as the others capable brands were enemy in the circuit.

[@alexthai4957]

If you want to do a video on the car that most changed the supercar industry, do a video on the Tesla Plaid. Actually destroyed motorsports as we know it. On the street, it is untouchable period. It humiliates all the exotic cars we once thought were quick including multimillion dollar hypercars! The NSX is beautiful but dramatically underpowered compared to the Plaid. Excellent video by the way.

[@sannissansanjuan5074]

NSX in 1991 was trying to be Japanese M1 10 year later From 1981

[@Carstuff111]

Um, I would like to say that the NSX is STILL more reliable than modern super cars! Modern super cars became a bit easier to drive, and more comfortable....but they did not get more reliable because, if they did, there would be more of them actually being driven. Lamborghini and Ferrari have NEVER truly cared about making reliable cars, they just make art pieces and that is the end of it. Ferrari himself, only cared about racing and practically hated his customers that bought the road cars. Ferrari never really bothered to step up their reliability on the road because their customers rarely drive their cars. And, those that did try to drive their cars regularly found very quickly their cars were, well, garbage even now.

[@flavaj12]

Car Design story - I worked with a guy who worked at Rover-Honda 80s era. The designs were a joint venture with the two brands, just look at the history. The NSX was actually the MG EX-E (I think it’s called) concept from the 80s. Look at the proportions/design and it’s clearly the NSX. He said the Honda partnership went sour and Honda had all these ideas that they stole. The story goes that they went to pinifarina with all these designs to clean up and come up with a slightly different modded version as the Rover studio were basically designing the Honda cars before. This chap was one of the designers on the EX-E and said how over night the guys in Honda basically stole their design/idea to produce there own supercar. As a automotive designer, it pains me to say this happens quite often in our field. But if you get a chance to edit the video, add a little mention to the MG concept from the 80s

[@driftindonuts]

That is very interesting in all my research I hadn’t heard that story but after looking into it the proportions are bang on. I will most likely make a video about that car and talk about the Nissan mid4 because they both seem to be what actually inspired the NSX design and to me car design is fascinating

[@flavaj12]

@@driftindonuts Definitely! Fantastic video btw, try to get some designers if you can during that time. If you ever get a chance to do the S2000, that will be fantastic. One on the best car designs imo. Story goes that was inspired by a caterham, I think it’s in some Japanese Honda S2000 book when the car was released in the 90s. Designed by Pinifarinna too in mid 90s and the volumes and stance still stand good today. Compared to its rivals at the time it was way ahead.
