Aj Figueroa You forgot WRX STi and Lancer Evolution.
Normal people see NSX, and they think it's just Honda.
When I see it, it reminds me Ayrton Senna.
:)
Mugilan Rajamohan Same here.
Mugilan Rajamohan Actually they think it's just a Ferrari... I spotted one with my friend and he said, "Holy crap! A Ferrari!" (Don't worry guys, he's educated now :P)
While as for me, it reminds me of Honda's philosophy for this car.
The Cornering Machine! (add japanese accent on it)
Eat Bacon haha same just in my case it was in a game (only 3 exist in my country #Unicorn) :(
Mugilan Rajamohan Same here! R.I.P Senna.
"It's not one of those VTEC Kicked in yo memes"
We'll see about that, Alex.
Boosted Hey boosted love your vids keep it up!
Thanks man! :D
hey boosted didn't expect to see you here :)
Favorite review yet, video was beautiful
Thanks Aleks
Car Throttle Ending made me really emotional lol
My Honda makes 8 hp
I literally just got done watch one of your videos... Why are you here now?
Jake TheGardenSnake so awesome to see you here Jake, been subscriber for 2 years, your Grom would smash that nsx :X
Jake TheGardenSnake same lmao this is the second video i watched today and the first was yours the ride with tom
Jake TheGardenSnake The grom is way better than the nsx
Brent Tasson I got lost
The best NSX is the one with PopUp-Headlights :))))
the old one was ugly, 2005 looks cool
My opinion is opposit
Best NSX would be an NA1in red with the NA2 powertrain.
Thats wrong though lol. The 2002-2005 nsx has the most power and was the lightest and best looking by far.
Honda definitely needs to go back to its roots.
indeed
not gonna happen. =(
honda is right on track with it's roots. people just need to stop living in the past.
They're Trying
Ethan BEST VIDEO EDITOR Smale
Ethan, you gotta stop commenting from your second account man, this is getting embarrassing...
Car Throttle I'm sorry, you got me
My friend said that the nsx looks like a wannabe Ferrari! I said I would have to kill him... Thoughts?
TheNorthernDrift I think you might be justified in doing that lol
TheNorthernDrift just say the ferrari looks like a wannabe NSX. ;-)
really good review
but the ending was really depressing
ACDC1998Zippo same hit me right in the feels
He Just almost make me cried ^^
Having just bought one. This is the first ever NSX video that gave me chills at the end, but for completely new reasons. Can't say any more than just: if you always wanted one, just get one NOW. You will not regret it.
Wonderful car. I think ranking it above the F40 in unicorn status is a bit much though. For a start, the F40 is a Ferrari. Also the first production car to crack 200mph, and was basically the defining supercar of the 80s. The NSX is brilliant too, and I love it, and I'm not even personally that big of a fan of the F40, but I think it still outranks the NSX with its status as a piece of automotive history.
Wasn't the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona the first to crack 200mph?
Not a production car, and that was only in nascar
Scrustle I think its the fact that it is a legend....... Made by a company whose sports cars were low, the TypeRs, the S2000, and the NSX. For what it is, the price, what it does, the driving feeling. The F40 is a legend too, but in its own wake, in the wake of Ferrari, and the crazy era of racing that it came from. Cars from Chaparral and his adjustable aero and ground effects, Tyrrell with their P34 and six wheels, Brabham, and the BT46. All had ideas, controversy, and amazing advancements. The F40 had those, but in a street legal, raw, adulterated package.
The dodge Daytona was a production vehicle of 503 made while its cousin the Plymouth super bird production units where I think 1300. They were both banned from nascar for being to fast. They did do over 200 mph with an extremely low coefficient of .28 that's lower than or nearly as low as a Prius.
The Porsche 959 was the first to crack 200mph. The F40 has never been recorded to crack anything past 199, as is typical Ferrari claims.
The cut to that last scene was beautiful, as was the whole video. Enjoyed this review. You know something is special when someone who drives fast cars for a living doesn't want to let go of it.
I bought my NSX after watching this. so i was convinced
I was searching for a honda nsx review and when I saw a Car Throttle review I immediately choosed it. Aaand I'm not dissappointed . Well done!
I love this car so much! The NSX and the MK4 Supra are 2 of my dream cars! :)
My dream car! I had CRX,Prelude"s..,few Accords and currently with Accord Type R..,almost 15 years i cant put my hands over NSX..,but God,one day i will!!!!
----Some knowledge about the NSX----
1991 it was the first production car to feature an aluminium body (and not Audi with their Space Frame, like many people think).
To all people who say "Supercar? It only has 276 BHP! Even the VW Golf R has more power and is cheaper!": Remember that this car was designed in 1988 and:
1. There are at least 22 years difference between the Golf R and the NSX - engineering doesn't sleep.
2. By this time (90's) the Japanese car market had a 276 BHP restriction for all cars made in Japan (also the Supra, Skyline etc.). But the cars often had more power. For example: a stock 1991 NSX with 100 k miles was dynoed 274 BHP (actually cars tend to lose power over the years/miles). Healthy, low milage NSXs were often measured with over 300 BHP.
3. They are very rare + have the legend status. This is why they are that expensive.
Very well said and not a lot of people know this or do research
SlickRickOne 2. By this time (90's) the Japanese car market had a 276 BHP restriction
for all cars made in Japan (also the Supra, Skyline etc.).
They have still this limitation but it was ever just a recommendation. So the manifacturen could ignore that. BUT there was something else. The speedometer just goes to 180 km/h and that was a law.
+SlickRickOne did you just put Golf and NSX in one sentence? Yea engineering actually goes back, as new golfs have a ridgedy axle on the rear, wich honda last produced 1985. gg
SlickRickOne appreciate it
One of my all time favorites has to be the NSX...i’ ve never seen one in real life sadly...but the NSX is a car that you don’t have to see to fall in love with it.
It’s like love at first sight.
I don't have a problem with Honda done right. I have a problem with queer boy Civics, giant unneeded wings, 5 inch mufflers etc etc. And fuck Mustangs.
What is it with you making the oddest half apologies/shit taking comments everywhere
no no no. the real problem is: chavs.
yes chavs. not the cars.
FussiestBore3 *talking
Brad V I drive a civic, but its bone stock, not a wing to be seen anywhere, does that make me bad?
Brad V *Every car comment on TH-cam
This is the best NSX review on TH-cam to me.
Felt like I was watching TopGear.
Too many feels
Boussain Fitness same here genuity and dedication, similary to our trio in TG sadly it's a no more cuz of how cowardish BBC is, one producer.(like it's major thing for them, they would got more of them quickly many ppl would like to take part in this including ppl with more greens than average mortals)
+Witty TH-cam name ur name is fire
I see the NSX every once in awhile on the highways in my city. Its always exciting to see it
This must be one of the last NSXs ever, made in 05.
There is a new 2016 one and they are track testing it so I think they will release it in 2016
I'm glad to see that CT became more active on youtube. Great video
The MR2 is the proper drivers cars imo.
Its exotic, knife sharp handling, dangerous, fast and truly beautifull.
TOYOTA quality.
They all look cheap and in terrible condition though
Scorpion I totally agree most of them are in bad condition.. sadly.
An original mr2 (not riced out) dont look cheap at all!
Brazsty - GTA V PC MODS I see a wee bit of bias there with that thumbnail ;)
Brazsty - GTA V PC MODS I know a guy with an 87 and an 88, both in really good shape. He restores them, not riced out but original.
Brazsty - GTA V PC MODS Ok then..... :)
Very, very nice review, no need to be longer. Really enjoyed it, even I'm not a BIG fan of the NSX. Keep the good work.
I usually watch other car reviews in 360p. But this video I just had to do 720p.
Not 1080p?
Car Throttle some people´s internet is too slow, like mine :(
Car Throttle If you live in US, you pay your arms and legs for decent internet speed. And even then you don't get a reliable connection.
Woo Cheol Shin mines $170 a month for 150mbps unlimited 260+ channels n home phone unlimited lol
And I'm here with my 500mb/s for $60/month xD I love to live in Sweden
Many good quotes in this video and quite possibly one of my favourite CT videos yet perhaps? Perhaps. I drove a friend's NSX (gen before this one) and can still hear the engine revving behind my head, and feel the gear shift gates slotting in. What a machine.
VTEC KIND OF KICKED IN YO!!!!
Bought mine yesterday off my uncle who just bought one, bought for 17 thousand dollars. Your video inspired me. But had to sell my lifted diesel truck. But now I am a true car guy.
Dream car
Type R, with the pop-up lights, perfection. Drove a 90' model with suspension and exhaust mods in Japan around some amazing roads. Not something I'm ever going to forget! Amazing motors, lovely steering.
All cars from the 90s had slow steering racks and required a lot of input to make a turn
Which equals more feelz
***** thats why I love older cars :)
dhshatzer not the integra - it was the standard and front wheel drive back then. I think the slower rack helped the stability - you shouldn't need to turn the wheel much at very high speeds.
The NSX... I've been waiting for a long time, so happy. Those MY2001+ NA2 NSXs are very rare. Congrats for this example with such low mileage.
The original "Anti Ferrari"
Daniel Eduardo Merino nope, that was the ford GT40
Guss De Blöd I'm inclined to agree with the GT 40
+ZombieBait Ford? I think it's better the NSX. that's my point of view.
+Guss De Blöd the Ford have a beautiful design but I prefer the NSX. I prefer the Japanese cars. That's my point of view bro. ;)
Daniel Eduardo Merino
I also prefer the NSX, but when you say "the original", you're wrong, our point of views doesn't matter here. you can say that you Like it as an anti-ferrari car, but not that it's the original.
I've owned one . Had smile on my face every drive I took , haven't been able to replicate it since
the perfect car doesn't exist, and that is a good thing
Wow, your cinematography is becoming outstanding!
why cant the new one be more like his dad :(
this i can agree in
then it wouldn't be an NSX! there is nothing NSX about the old one today apart from it's name.
It looks nothing like it and I prefer the older ones looks
+Conor wilson nothing in it's name suggests it should look like the old one and you can prefer what you want that is your choice.
I know that just voicing my opinions .
That was one of the most epic car reviews I've ever watched. Top Gear class!!! well done guys :)
what is that sound track called?
The sound of that NSX gives me the goosebumps.
My dad has an nsx!
Damn.
My dad used to have a Ferrari 360 CS, unfortunately he sold it last year. I've got some great memories with that car as well, so I'm still kinda sad of its departure.
ethan sean Good for him
ethan sean My dad, my dad, my dad. Who the fuck cares...
Ray DM dad stories
Great review. Big fan of CT. From Argentina!
Keep it up guys!!
i
NEED
the intro song
Deep Dark by Tom Kent Music
@@scotthecarnerd1995 Thanks SO MUCH!
Woahhhhhhhhhhh mahn! Was this only me who got emotionally carried away? That line "We are all made of emotions and we are all looking for emotions" just struck me and really believe me I just got mad over the "sound of our people" I don't know what is there that keeps me stuck to Car throttle but I really love the channel only because of videos like these. Oh mahn I so wanted to be in that NSX and the review was just mindddddd blowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh mahn m drooling over the car.
5 humans drive a riced civic
Chris 78 Eleven.
Twelve
Chris 78 nah, they drive riced out foxbody mustangs. Riced out Civic drivers drool over NSX.
Make that 16
Now 17,like ricers age
Motor Trend called the NSX one of the most influential cars of the 20th century. It was also recently displayed in the Peterson automobile museum's exhibit of the greatest sports coupes wit the likes of the 300SL Gullwing, Ferrari 250 and the Iso Grifo. Its not F-40 supercar special but its definitely a "super" sports car.
The nsx is too underrated every time I ask a friend do you know how a nsx look like they ask me wtf is that.
DrrrreeeeeammmmmM maybe your friend never play Gran Turismo before lol
+Alvino Octaputra Fadillah GT doesnt mean much. Actually fell in love with this car in the 90s a when my cousin drives me down the mountains with.
NSX junkie here!! Okay well the way the slow rack is supposed to work is that you can get extremely accurate lines in corners. It seems strange yes, but believe me this car is perfect at everything, why would they mess that up without a good reason.
I'm sorry but you can't even compare an NSX to an F40
I agree. You can't beat the first production car to reach 200 MPH, but the NSX is still something special.
They never compared it. He just said that they equally deserved their title as Unicorn Cars.
Comprehension failure.
NSX-R maybe
Now this is a great video! This is Car Throttle Channel!
This review makes me wanna cry. Because there is a 99% chance i will never own or even drive one of these.
Awesome review alex.
I need your job :-(
the nsx models with the lift up lights are the only nsx's that get my love.
I really miss the 90s :-(
Funny how people are still discovering how good this car really is even though it's been out of production for 10 years. My '96 is an amazing machine - it just does everything right and makes me feel like an F1 driver without ever getting close to it's max limits. Think I'll go out to the garage and take mine for a spin right now!
I can watch this video over and over and over again. 😊
This was truly a beautiful video! I'm so speechless when I see this car. I want to drive it. I want to own it. I want to feel. I want to FEEL.
the NA2 05 NSX in the video is 4.7-5sec 0-60. and not 5.7sec which is the higher end of the previous na1 3l 5speed versions time which were anywhere from 5.2-5.7sec 0-60.
The ending hit me right in the feels
Slow steering ratio may be a deliberate compromise to keep the car more controllable for those with less skill than F1 drivers. The NSX was created before TC and Stability Control became typical.
One of the finest cars, PERIOD. Even better with the pop-ups.
I live in Yokohama, Japan. I see a few of these every day :)
This was awesome, great work from you as usual. Keep it up buddy. Hope someone picks you up for your growing talent.
Yes no doubt about this is right in the feel and one of the best reviews ive seen in a while.Its really good to see the NSX getting the respect it desevers
My friend's 2006 stock NSX-R is 315hp.
Drive an old 91 manual with non assisted steering rack like mine, it’s not slow and can be quite twitchy and change direction really fast !
Nsx was my favourite car when i was playing sega gt 2002 on my xbox when i was young
I found 1991 NSX for sale in Scottsdale in the United States. It was in even better shape than this one, only 34000 original miles. It was amazing how good it looked. I though I was looking at the brochure. Which was included with the car along with all the records of maintenance. For $85000USD
So wish that the NSX was marketed under the Honda badge in the US. It would look so good on our showroom floor!
Somehow this video kicked me right in the feels.
One of the most legendary cars of all time, Nsx definitely deserves respect
That car sounds so good, it gives me the chills!
I liked the music used in this video.
Good review. For me it came down to a 95 Supra Turbo or NSX as a weekend car. I went with the Supra for it's overall performance capabilities. However, this car is more of an exotic in my eyes due to the mid engine layout and light weight titanium materials. Like the Supra, even today it looks fresh and impressive on the road. They are both also very rare and arguably the best JDM cars of the 90s.
Great video. Well pieced together and a good job by Alex.
Amazing review. Sweet editing as well. You guys should do one on the Impreza 22B.
When I went to the Nordschleife two weeks ago with a friend, a NSX just burned us in Kallenbach.. Sounded like Heaven in 6 cylinders.
I saw a black and white one like last month...it ws amazing
Really nice review and beautiful editing, I enjoyed it
The reason the steering rack is so slow is because it is a manual rack. Making the rack slower means it is still easy to use even without any power assist. The major advantage of the manual rack is the amount of feedback you get through the steering wheel which makes the driving experience much better.
I met a guy at school who claims to be a car guy who when seeing an S200 was like, "oh it's just a Honda" the same thing most people do with this car. That's how you tell is someone's actually into cars...
What an amazing little taster of such an amazing mind blowing car. I'm 16 and I dream of owning this car. One day I will.
My dream car i am a big honda fan very big honda fan my dream car is a NSX love your videos too from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Hadn't seen this one yet. And funnily enough there was actually an NSX parked at the store today too
What's so funny is that I just started getting really into the NSX.
This has been my dream car since i was 5 years old. Ive realized a long time ago ill never have one but this managed to give me the feelz nonetheless
I loved this car ever since first watching Pulp Fiction
Driving an NSX is unique. It means driving a classic supercar of the 90s which was 25 years ahead of its time.
soundtrack perfectly fits the nsx. best review ever
jayxunderwood I prefer the NSX with the pop up headlights, I hate this design
That's what a Honda does to yah..
My 93 Accord has me like this every time I'm not driving it
I'd say with the new NSX coming out soon, the value on these older models might drop quicker than people think.
That orange NSX is super sexy. Even in early 2000s NSX was "huge". You have to be worthy of NSX; if not, you settle for Honda Prelude or Acura Integra.
you should be the guest at the new top gear series one day, it'll be awesome
Excellent scripting and narration, well done.
There are quite a few of them here in the states. Branded as an Acura but still the same car. The ones I've seen are all in great condition.
I got goosebumps, very beautiful video
Great review. Just wondering how someone can dislike it.
Love this video! Great cinematography and excellent specifity when describing the car's handling characteristics. Y'alls videos always remind why im subscribed to this channel. Keep up the fantastic reviews!
saw in germany a group of at least 30nsx driving by god those cars are amazing
