Production site and Global Chief Engineer for Honda NSX announced

Honda has announced that the all new NSX supercar will be produced at a new Performance Manufacturing Centre in Ohio, United States. The $70 million advanced production facility encompasses 184,000 square feet and will be housed inside Honda's former North American Logistics facility.

The site, which will be Honda's third car plant in Ohio, is located close to the Honda R&D Americas, Inc. Ohio Centre that is engineering the supercar for production and adjacent to Honda of America Mfg.'s Marysville Auto Plant. The Performance Manufacturing Centre is also close to Honda Engineering North America, Inc., centre for the development of new production technologies.

The Performance Manufacturing Centre will employ approximately 100 highly skilled associates drawn from within Honda's existing operations in Ohio. The powertrain will also be assembled in Ohio at Honda’s engine plant in Anna.

Honda also announced that Honda R&D America's Chief Engineer Ted Klaus is leading the global team developing the new NSX, and Clement D' Souza, Associate Chief Engineer at Honda of America, is leading the team that will bring NSX to mass production in 2015.

The NSX will feature a unique powertrain and body structure to provide an incredible driving experience. It will be powered by a mid-mounted V6 engine mated to Honda's innovative new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) system. 

"We have a very clear understanding of the high customer expectations luxury buyers around the world have for a supercar, and our challenge is to exceed them and create new value for the customer. This new Performance Manufacturing Centre will be key to this challenge," said Klaus.
