Crazy to think there are only 350 of these in total! Over half of them have already been added to Exclusive Car Registry: exclusivecarregistry.com/model/acura/nsx
You need another japanese car in the collection. The nsx is a great car and very under rated. I for one have always loved them from the 1st gen to the current version.
Thanks for coming and hanging out @Shmee150! The NSX will stay in the garage - it’s such a beast and so underrated. The harder you push, the better it delivers!!
@@MainelyW212 You've never driven a fast car have you... 600 PS is an abundant amount of power for a car of NSX's weight and shape... I would say maybe around 400 PS will keep a smile on your face while keeping the thrill. If you were saying that it's underpowered compared to its competitors, well the NSX competes with the likes of the Corvette, now discontinued 570S, etc., not 296 GTB or Atura like he mentioned in the video. And it does 0-100km/h in 2.7s (since 0-60mph is 2.5s). How is that underpowered? You'll never (need to) reach the top speed of 307km/h anyway
The new NSX is overrated by fanbois. If it was such a great car then it would be competing against twin turbo Huracans, Lambos, R8s, R35s, and Vipers in Texas. Or setting records at World Time Attack, Grid Life, and the likes. It's just another garage queen for fanbois, and will be passed by a turbo K24 on a highway pull 😁

Really not a fan of those lights in that garage, maybe it’s just the camera not doing it justice but i am finding it difficult to differentiate the other cars in the collection. Yet another excellent adventure from the Shmee. CHEERS TIM.
The lump in the boot/trunk is due to the transmission which was not accommodated for when they switched the engine layout at the last minute from transverse to longitudinal.
I love that the car holds its gears and doesn't up-shift in manual mode. It seems its a pretty rare feature these days I wonder what the upgradeability and tune ability potential are for this platform. I'd like to see what these can do with larger turbos.
@@cristomagnus I never said it was a rare feature for supercars, just that it was a rare feature in general, and that still holds true. So does my statement that I enjoy that feature. The VAST majority of modern automatic cars won't let you bounce of the rev limiter, most auto up-shift.
In Japan you can find the Honda NSX with right hand drive and every example is for sale at the right price. I think it will make for a great collection at the Shmuseum!
As a TSX owner I think this and Acuras are great vehicles. This is way beyond my wallet but I love looking at them in the dealership when I’m there lol
I agree 100%. The NSX Type S is one beautiful looking, amazing performing supercar that does not get the respect it deserves. So glad the Acura engineers decided to go out on a high note with the Type S rather than just let the car fizzle out and die a quite death. This car is a future collectable for sure. Thank you for showcasing it. Keep up the great work!
I doubt it. What's going to draw them to it, other than having the label of a car that's famous? You really think anyone will want an archaic hybrid system with an pitiful V6 in the future? No, they're going to want naturally-aspirated or turbocharged cars. The original NSX will be worth multiple times what this one will be in the future, and this one will be known as the insult to the car name just like the "Mark V" Supra is a stain on the Supra's history.
@@rustler08 In 10 years I will be laughing at your comments, but mine will still not be for sale as just looking at puts a smile on my face. And not 1 day goes by where multiple people don't surround the car when parked. It's one of those cars that if you haven't seen it in person or driven it, you just can't understand that this supercar has it ALL...PERIOD
The check engine light on and the sound I hear that thing make tell me that some catless downpipes have found their way onto that thing. Between that plus a tune/JB4, you’re around 700hp with that thing. Not bad at all.
A car ahead of its time I’ve actually seen one of these not the type S but a basic NSX. It was in a residential neighborhood in orange paint considering how many they didn’t sell and how rare these are, I was freaking out I love this thing. It was just priced too high when in its segment there are better options
You mentioned that it was a first of its kind in the hybrid supercar concept... which is true. I remember the Holy Trinity (LaFerrari, 918 and P1) being unveiled in 2013 and this car in 2011 if I am not mistaken. So this generation of the NSX actually makes it an 'NSX (New Sports car eXperimental)' as well; just a 'different' concept from its predecessor.
Since the first version of this new generation, I found this car very beautiful. It has a very timeless look, externally. Internally it is not ugly, but it is below its competitors. But I always imagined that if I had a super car, the new NSX would be highly regarded as an option. The problem with this car was being compared to the first NSX. It's the same problem the new Supra faced. Excess expectations are always a problem.
The 2016 NSX was priced from $156,000, an expensive alternative to Corvette and Porsche sports cars; the 2017 Ford GT was a $456,000 harder-core supercar. Both halo V6s, but neither had much in common with the rest of the Honda/Acura and Ford lineups. As Shmee says, the hybrid NSX wasn't light and deft like the original NSX. It arrived late and heavy and the complicated 3 motor hybrid system only contributed about 80 horsepower. I think it and the BMW i8 are getting the recognition they deserve; two handsome cars that were early with interesting tech even if they weren't the standout Porsche 918.
Yes. Even the normal Honda NSX... Clever bodywork design with careful aerodynamic treatment. All the elements of the car are studied aerodynamically so that the flows involve during the movement circulate, creating the minimum turbulence. It manages to channel the air to the rear generating aerodynamic support to the rear axle of 75% without any specific appendage. Cutting-edge technology covered in a body built with the most sophisticated materials!
That’s because it has aftermarket cats. Maybe even straight pipes. Even aftermarket cats throw a code that can be cleared. Comes up randomly. I know because I have a straight piped Type S.
Good evening Shmee 150 hope you’ve had a fantastic day and that you are doing well. Thank you so much for your videos. They are brilliant the time and effort you put into them and the team are fantastic thank you so much
The views don't seem to be there for this car, but would love to see an NSX on the channel as your next US car! There was never enough content on the Honda let alone the Acura!
I think I saw a check engine light on it? I am happy to see you drive it though as I wondered what you would think about it as it's not up there with a typical "supercar"
That’s because it has aftermarket cats. Maybe even straight pipes. Even aftermarket cats throw a code that can be cleared. Comes up randomly. I know because I have a straight piped Type S.
The styling has a Lambo twang to it, although the greenhouse sides are more nearly vertical than any recent Lambo, which likely makes the interior feel more roomy.
Such a cool looking car. I absolutely love it. Great spec Aswell. Really under rated!. You look like you had a blast in that thing. Great video ...as always
It's not over priced in anyway. In 2000 I worked at Acura and a NSX was $91,000 and today's money that is $154,000. The Type S is $169,500 and comes standard with the $6000 carbon roof. I love my NSX Type S. It also has 50% faster upshifts and downshifts over the 17'-21' NSX
I love this car, when it came out, it got so much hate for being too complicated, but now almost every supercar company has a car that follows the same formula, Mclaren Artura, Ferrari 296GTB, and some others. Goes to show that Acura/Honda was ahead of the game
But it was three years after the Porsche 918 Spyder and the beautiful BMW i8 hybrids. The NSX v2 cost a lot less money than the 918 and had more performance than the i8, but it wasn't the breakthrough it would have been had its development not taken so long.
Tim, you should get one of these, maybe Collect a few Japanese cars, looks wicked in the orange with the black wheels It’s very Corvette like, I love those too 🤙🏼
Interesting. I know Honda in Ohio changed the V6 and rotated it 90 degrees late in development, but Wikipedia doesn't say Cosworth build the block and heads.
@@skierpage yeah information is real spotty, I'm not sure if they worked with Cosworth to develop the motor, or bought the design.. but if you look hard enough on Google, you can find the info about it being Cosworth..
What amazes me about this car is it’s borderline lacking specs and yet it still seems to amaze those who drive it.. it’s almost like honda took the hard unpopular path to greatness
The problem with the new NSX is that it has a hybrid powertrain and a high price . If that car was like the Nissan GT-R a simple twin turbo V6 then it would sale a lot. With the same amount the NSX costs including MSRP you can get a 488 GTB or the spider or a McLaren 720s or a 911 turbo or a Shelby GT 500 for example Acura charge so much for a car that could a be hit without the hybrid system.

Shame they didn't bring it over to the UK.
They're incredibly striking in person
The type S is so much better looking than the regular one. And looks more of a supercar as well.
