Acura takes the wraps off its new NSX
14 Jan 2015|5,068 views
Acura has revealed the production version of the new Acura NSX, developed and produced in the U.S.A - to the world at the 2015 North American International Motor Show in Detroit.
The NSX body features classic low and wide proportions married to modern surfacing, an aggressive front design, and taillights that pay homage to the original NSX. Also in keeping with the legacy of NSX - the world's first all aluminum supercar - the new NSX features an innovative new multi-material body with world's-first material applications and construction processes.
At the heart of the NSX's performance capabilities is an all new mid-mounted, 75-degree, DOHC V6 engine with twin-turbochargers mated to an Acura developed nine-speed dual-clutch transmission. The V6 engine employs a race inspired compact valve train and dry sump lubrication system to help lower the centre of gravity.
The rear direct drive electric motor, housed between the engine and transmission, supports acceleration, braking and transmission shifting performance. On the other hand, the NSX's front wheels are driven by twin independent high-output electric motors that deliver instantaneous torque response and dynamic left-to-right torque distribution.
The NSX uses its front electric motors for dynamic torque vectoring in addition to enhancing acceleration and braking performance. Sport Hybrid Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (Sport Hybrid SH-AWD) enables quick response to all driver inputs - steering, braking and throttle - along with the stability, control and launch performance of all-wheel drive.
Agile Handling Assist (AHA) uses the subtle application of brake torque to further enhance yaw response and dynamic stability. The result is an instantaneous 'zero delay' launch performance and handling response that seems to anticipate the driver's desire.
The NSX's dial-operated Integrated Dynamic System features Quiet, Sport, Sport+ and Track modes. The system adjusts engine, motor, transmission and chassis response, as well as the engine sound level, based on the needs of the driver and driving environment. Quiet mode enables electric-only driving at lower speeds for short durations.
The NSX utilises a fully independent, all aluminum front and rear suspension and puts its power down through ContiSportContact high-performance tyres - 245/35Z R19 front and 295/30Z R20 at the rear. Braking performance is provided by six-piston front and four-piston rear monoblock calipers squeezing ultra high-performance carbon ceramic brake discs.
The company will begin accepting custom orders for the new NSX starting in the summer, with customer deliveries expected later in the year.
