THE LEGEND CONTINUES
THAT FEELING OF EMOTIONAL CONNECTEDNESS reflects both the power of dreams and driven creativity that fuels the craft of engineering. Reignited in a new generation of engineers, that connection brought forth a new vision: to honor the car’s lineage by creating a boldly evolved NSX for a new century.
The new Indy Yellow Pearl NSX is officially here, making a nod to its heritage while turning heads at hyper speeds. Build yours now or contact your retailer for more information.
With precision crafted performance as the touchstone and innovation as its tenet, new ways were created to engineer, design, build and produce an iconic, exotic sports car. The culture of forward-thinking and the goal of building a pinnacle supercar merged to allow innovation as a natural phenomenon, resulting in several world-first technologies in the car itself and its manufacturing processes.
A useful lens for examining NSX is the principle of interwoven dynamics; it’s the theme of balanced integration found in every aspect of the car. It reveres its past, but is imminently future-forward; equally at home on open roads and on the track; unabashedly beautiful and meticulously engineered. Ultimately, it’s a new sports experience that can only be called NSX.
Equal parts rational and emotional, sports car engineering is at its best when the tension between these sides results in harmony. Such was the vision for NSX: power and beauty, precision and nuance, interwoven such that the car itself becomes both a machine and an experience.

The body is sculpted for performance – every line serves a purpose, including 10 functional intakes that provide air cooling as well as aerodynamic performance.
Engineered seating and steering are complemented by minimalist materials, creating a cockpit that balances secure, ergonomic support and freedom of movement.
Exclusive NSX Interwoven wheels and optional carbon ceramic brakes deliver high performance with remarkably low unsprung mass.
Carbon fiber is brutally strong and beautifully lightweight – augmenting performance, styled for the street.
If the power unit is the heart of the beast, The integrated dynamics system is its mind. The system reflects the mood and manners of man and machine, Firing the senses and heightening the driving experience. The four modes: quiet, sport, sport+ and track each has its own distinct pleasures, From flying under the radar to screaming through a circuit.
In all-electric mode, NSX is near-silent, gauges illuminated a tranquil blue. Ideal for neighborhood driving, when quiet is at a premium.
The default mode is Sport. Dynamics become more pronounced for a feeling of controlled power; sound is low and throaty as the 500-hp engine comes to life. Gauges show a subtle gray. Sport mode is perfect for city driving: quick, agile and athletic.
Sport+ ignites exhilarating supercar performance: faster shifting, aggressive throttle mapping, explosive acceleration and increased agility. The meters glow red, with a brilliant yellow con-trail along the tach needle. Engine sound is full-throated, filling the cabin and turning heads.
Optimized for circuit driving, Track mode invokes the most aggressive settings and parameters for the fastest, most consistent lap times possible. The battery is kept in an ideal state of charge, even during prolonged track use, ensuring always-ready power dynamics lap after lap. Track mode also enables Launch Mode Control, for maximum acceleration from a standstill. Gauges glow bright red. Engine intake sound is unrestrained and exhilarating, an audible emotional rush – even while wearing a helmet.
In its exterior design, NSX presents purity of form in graceful lines weaving through aggressively sculpted planes. Elegant design language creates intriguing contrasts from every angle; what appears as a singular striking shape reveals purposeful detail..
The ability to tame wind isn’t a myth – aerodynamics is proof of that. The NSX supercar takes it one step further, using artful design to stream air within, without and across the entire vehicle. By reintroducing air that serves thermal purposes upstream, front and rear power unit components, brakes and other systems are cooled efficiently as aerodynamics are optimized. Acura calls this total airflow management, and when it’s executed in tandem with gracefully aggressive aesthetics it becomes the ultimate expression of interwoven dynamics.
Seat materials were selected for their performance. The aggressively-shaped bolsters are smooth leather for ease of ingress/egress. Alcantara® is at the center of the sports seats to provide grip and reduce lateral movement. Key interior surfaces are ergonomically padded to support knees and elbows, providing additional supercar comfort and stability.
The painstakingly engineered NSX steering wheel is engineered to help the driver carve precise turns at any speed. The racing inspired shape, finger holds, and tailored leather allow for an uunobstructed view over the top and greater leg clearance at the bottom and is finished with hidden stiching for an unecumbered grip.
Leaps from hushed to hellion in a single bound. In quiet mode, nsx runs virtually silent; in track mode, every note of peak performance is in full-throated cry. The sound satisfies on a gut level, both on the street and inside the acoustically-tuned cabin, where engine sound correlates with dynamic mode.
It's the first of its kind. NSX is the first supercar powered by a bespoke Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel DriveTM, 573-hp(1) power unit that is an absolute game-changer.
IT GROWLS AND YOU'RE GONE. Speed, power and amazing ingenuity live inside this clever beast: a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged, 75-degree, 3.5-liter DOHC V-6 engine with dry sump lubrication. It’s the product of countless days and nights of relentless engineering, perfected on the track.
NSX Engine power and direct electric torque combine for a new kind of dynamic performance, not just in acceleration, but in steering and braking too. This is interwoven dynamics in the purest sense: exhilarating performance powered by precision.
If you’re looking for a little more power, the available 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 – paired with the smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic – delivers 267 lb-ft of tarmac-punishing torque to your TLX driving experience.
Conquer the curves and the weather with available torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®). Power gets distributed to the wheels that need it for seamless power transitions and supreme control.
