Original Honda NSX review, what made it special?

Welcome to a new video from Harry's Garage and there are two cars to see today. The two versions of the Honda NSX that you see behind me. I have one of the late 2005 versions of the

original

NSX and then in the blue corner the new Honda NSX. technical tour de force I really wanted to wait until I could live with this car. I've had both cars here for about seven and eight days sometimes, so now it's time to get into the details of them and my

original

idea was to put the two cars. together and we see the evolution, there is no evolution here, they wear the same badge on the nose badge and they have the same NSX name, but they are chalk and cheese, so 25 years between these two cars we have seen a technical revolution. so I'm not going to put the two cars together.

I'm going to start by taking a closer look at the original NSX, the 2005 car behind me, okay, the first thing we need to understand about the original Honda NSX is why they actually produced it. Firstly, and at that time, Honda's road cars were these front-wheel drive hatchbacks and fairly mundane cars, although they had VTEC in their arsenal and were great cars, but it was a long way from their involvement in F1 and management. from Honda. I thought it was a bit important to do this whole F1 thing, having been so successful in F1 and then McLaren, why can't we produce our own real sports car that has the spirit of F1?

This driver was excited to drive the car, so that was the reasoning. behind coming up with an NSX in the first place and they really went back to basics they wanted to make a really light car with a great power to weight ratio but not overpowered, they wanted it to be a kind of gentle driving car and a lot of people proposed this because it's mid engined , it's directly against the Ferrari at that time they were three to eight, they were looking at that but it didn't have the turnout they wanted and they thought they could make it lighter by making the hole from an iminium and using a highly tuned VTEC v6, that's how the NSX first of all and it's a very nice car, you know, this is a lasik car so it's unfortunate that it doesn't have the pop up. light, you have these lights, but replace the cover.

Then see the light and a kind of slightly bulging eyed appearance. I'm afraid they are good old regulations. There were countries where you had to have your headlights on all the time so they couldn't. They continue to be sold in the right place, in a way they became outlaws and that is why we have these types of lights. They look good in gold. The original cars had a black roof and black pillars to give it this fighter rocket look and it was a little larger than you might imagine. The reason the NSX and this overhang are the only possible Krista in the rear, it just seems a bit heavy in the rear.

I'm afraid it's because it was big enough to fit golf clubs back then and with the original NSX from Canada you can convert the new one. one, but you may be original and I wonder if that's why it's so big on the back right. Let's open up some of the apps above and show you in more detail under the skin and I brought a magnet to show you. I've always had a problem with the amount of steel they managed to cram into this car, so now I use this magnet. You will see that although both are

made

of steel, all of this is animal.

It's amazing how much aluminum they used in this car and the other thing. What you'll notice is how open it is, there's no spacer in the boot, a sort of space saving separate luggage space and at the front I can see the road below, there's the ABS over your radiator etc. It's not a baggage-free capacity at all, but of course, everything is. on a minion, let's now look at the engine next and using them you can't see it at all, not like in modern times for us at McLaren, everyone is showing off the mechanics on this day, you've got the strange parcel shelf.

I can't see it from where you're standing but there's obviously glass between the police evidence in this area but I lift this muffler and expose the wonderful v6 VTEC engine that was VTEC when they had this variable fan valve timing so I could get good performances and The original 3-liter engine had 278 horsepower. It's wet sump, not instead of dry sump, but everyone loved it. This engine goes on forever. The maximum power test of the house is seven thousand three hundred rpm and raises the Baptists to more than seven and a half one more detail. I want to show you that it's in the trunk because almost my favorite detail in the trunk is a little plane here that I lift up and expose the tool kit and there's one thing that I discovered in everything that I couldn't believe and that's the jack that they were so obsessed with. with the weight in this era that Honda

made

it of aluminum, the only color I know with an aluminum jack still a little in the middle but beautifully made.

I love how they have the labels and they also have a little label that says keep in mind if you had the car engine this can get really hot because it's obviously on top of the exhaust anyway enough detail closes everything up and we're going to give a lap. The temperature is cooking today in the UK, about 28 degrees, so let's just go to its condition. a little bit, I hope we're interfering, everything's fine, well, go back in time when you get in here, roll up the window, sweat, look back, and the binnacle, great instruments in front of me, 8,000 RPM speedometer. goes up to 180 miles per hour, well we want to try that today, but if you've looked at three to eight, this is the same look we had the best of us coming down the door, very similar to three to eight and the glory is setting , oh, I just put it in the first place, but it already has an opportunistic and mechanical flavor and the other thing is the view from the windows down and you have this wonderful view from the road.

I feel like you can almost see in tone a completely different kind of token than other cars of the era. I can also see the exposed wings through my line of sight anyway, enough rappelling. I'm uploading my favorite parts that went up the driveway, everything is heating up and you'll join me on some better roads where we just explored it's all about the performance of the NSX and I'm also working my way up to the variety of favorite mints, even now I can say any sect is a 2005 garden model, the first in 1919. grounded, so I sent the original differences was really noticeable with you, right?

You didn't get power steering as an option during a Romanian as optional. I think at that time it was a standard from the beginning. We make these things optional. We have Never Sleeps stuff, remember there's the procedure based on which closed fifty-two thousand pounds when in 1990-91 and Ferrari just corralled three four eight worth closer to 17,000 a time, and Nancy's restless turn put it more online. of a price for the 911 instead of there is also the other mid-engine, Kyle appeared with the latter supreme. There was some difficulty with this turbo coupon that entered to get the snub, but it was a 220 230 horsepower mouse and it was priced at this time around thirty. five thousand pounds, so that's where the penitents sat in the market for this later car. mm they soon insulted the light in 1997, they got 3.2 liters, they mentioned that he got on a TV once in this car and that made a big difference to the speech of

Below, a small arm, cars near the resort, note, there I only had a balance Saucony. Many simply feel the distance from the back corner the more you put a paddle lightly, but only because in this, when Sally was behaving right around the corner and they turned on. but if you are aware of ii and relieved the office when you were behind, a hedge back and there are many things that are also a little more tied up in this jacket morning, statistically everyone needs another volunteer.
