Acura NSX

The origins of the Acura NSX trace back to 1984, with the HP-X (Honda Pininfarina eXperimental) concept, which was a mid-engine 3.0 Liter V6 engine rear-wheel-drive exotic sports car. Honda Motor Company committed to the project, with the intention of meeting and or exceeding the performance of the then V8 engine Ferrari while offering reliability and a much lower price point. The concept thus evolved and had its name changed to NS-X, which stood for “New”, “Sportscar” “Unknown world” (the X was a reference to the mathematical symbol X, which stands for an unknown variable), although the production model was launched as the Acura NSX.
