Second-generation NSX
BY THE GOAUTO TEAM | 6th Aug 2018
In 2016 Honda revived a legend, with the reveal of its reborn NSX supercar.
Unlike its predecessor however, the second-generation NSX featured a hybrid powertrain and checked in at well over $400k.
The hybrid setup in question consists of a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre mid-mounted V6 engine that produces 373kW and 550Nm paired with three electric motors that bump the final figure up to 427kW/646Nm.
That was matched up with an all-wheel-drive system and a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission giving an official combined fuel economy figure rated at 9.7 litres per 100km.
Also standard was Honda’s Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) that integrates brakes, steering, throttle, stability assist, dampers and the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD control systems into selectable modes.
The modes include Quiet for driving on electric power only, Sport, Sport+ and Track.
