The story behind this collectible...

It combines Ferrari panache with Japanese common sense. Bullseye! - Acura NSX

Honda, a brand that immediately takes you back to memory lane. The Jazz, Civic and Accord served faithfully with the average grandparent. But, Honda wanted to get rid of their dusty image and created the NSX together with Ayrton Senna, among others. For the US market, things were a bit different; just like the pizza comes from there according to the average American, Japan was also a somewhat sensitive subject. That's why Honda came up with Acura. And let's be honest, it sounds a lot better too!

The inspiration for the 'glass dome' as a roof and the dashboard were stolen from the F16. That sounded very promising as a concept! Honda also understood that the average rice cooker was not big enough for a global market, where Burger and Brinta eaters also wanted to drive as a home-garden-and-kitchen racer. They solved this by mounting 15" at the front and 16" at the back. This, together with air conditioning, ABS, power steering, electric windows, electric mirrors and leather upholstery, made it a comfortable sports car. Something that they only understood a lot later in Europe, that not everyone drove with a kidney belt in everyday traffic.

Something that we are already familiar with today thanks to the F1 and the GT-R, is that besides the Germans, the Japanese also have absolutely no humor when it comes to cars. They were even so strict during the production that you were only allowed to work at the Takanezawa factory if you had an impeccable track record of at least 10 years at Honda. It went so far that the paint was applied in 23 steps and that the first Acura batch (300 units) was stopped at the port of arrival by Mr. Honda and provided with nicer Acura logos.

End result? A V-tec V6 block with titanium pistons, 8,400 RPM and the V-tec (braa-BAEEEEEEEEP) from 4,800 rpm. 274 Ninja Pee-cheese and a top speed of 270. Now it's your turn, neighbor. Ours? Black on black, fully documented, low mileage, original paint and a manual transmission. Exactly, as it should be.

See you soon?
