TheSmokingTire – 1991 Acura NSX – Video

 

This relatively low-mileage 1991 Acura NSX is somewhat unique in that it’s completely stock aside from its brake pads and tires. This car must have turned the sports car world on its head in 1991 because even today, 24 years later, it drives absolutely magnificent.

As a testament to just how far Honda pushed the envelope with its 1991 Acura NSX, compare it with the most sophisticated machinery of today. That first NSX’s 3.0-liter V-6 made 270 horsepower and revved gloriously to its 8000-rpm redline. Almost 18 years later, BMW’s direct-injection 3.0-liter (in the Euro-only 330i) makes 268 horsepower.
