2017 Acura NSX: Price, Specs, Review and Photos

2017 Acura NSX Price One of the most appealing aspects of every mid-engine Japanese supercar is the Acura NSX price. Every example of the Acura NSX for sale represents a triumph of engineering and style. With the arrival of the 2nd generation NSX, values for pristine originals have multiplied by an order of magnitude. A well-equipped Acura NSX MSRP will hover around $157, 700. For that, you will receive a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 with a potent hybrid drive. An electric motor/generator on the transmission and on each front wheel offers efficient All Wheel Drive at a competitive price. Specs: Nearly a decade in the making, the Acura NSX is the pride and joy of Honda's Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. It was inspired by the Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept to be a daily-driven supercar. As such, the static suspension, cargo room, and practicality set it apart from competitors. Although it packs the latest technology, Acura engineers decided to use high-strength steel to form a light space frame. Cast and extruded aluminum nodes are used to connect the subframes and suspension parts to offer strength and low unsprung weight. The windshield pillars are thinner and stronger than other exotics, and the door sills are more conventional. Complex body lines dictate the use of hydroformed aluminum, sheet-molded composite, and high-temperature plastics to make up the exterior. Acura NSX Specs Price: $156,000 Engine: 3.5-liter turbo V6 Horsepower: 573 hp 0–60: 3.1 seconds Top Speed: 190 mph Transmission: 9-speed dual-clutch automatic Torque: 476 Acura NSX Review We have been teased long enough, and now the new NSX appears to be ready for launch. As the official Pace Car of the 2015 Pike’s Peak Hill Climb, Acura’s latest supercar used twin turbos and three electric motors to scorch the treacherous trail. This new production model of the NSX is powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine mated to a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission. The NSX also receives power from an all-new, three electric motor Sport Hybrid (SH) system. The front wheels receive power or braking from two electric motors while the third is inside the rear-mounted transmission. Driving the Acura NSX is rewarding thanks to the smooth addition of electric torque. Constantly balanced between the front and rear wheels, you will not reach the limits of grip on public roads. Perhaps the main detriment to the car's performance is a curb weight of 4,800 lbs. No amount of electronic wizardry can mask such a hefty design. "...the NSX represents the culmination of countless engineering efforts and years of development." “Our commitment was to create an all-new NSX that is true to the heritage of NSX—a supercar that delivers a new driving experience, one where every part of the vehicle is respectful of the smartest part of the car, the driver,” said Mike Accavitti, senior vice president and general manager of the Acura division, in a press release introducing the car. The new 2016 NSX is comprised of multiple materials, including aluminum, carbon fiber and ultra-high strength steel. Sharing almost no components with Acura’s other production models, the NSX represents the culmination of countless engineering efforts and years of development. Being the halo car for one of the largest automakers is a tall order to fill. So in order to ensure quality, a dedicated production line at Honda’s Marysville, Ohio plant is ready to roll. Acura NSX and NSX GT3 Evo Face Off Staying true to form, the new NSX will arrive with a mid-mounted V6 in a lightweight body, but that is where the similarities between old and new end. This new 3.5-liter V6 uses two turbochargers to make 500 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. A new nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is paired with a direct-drive hybrid motor/generator. Power is stored in a lithium-ion battery mounted low in the chassis. This energy is channeled to the front wheels by a Twin Motor Unit (TMU). Powering each front wheel independently, it can induce yaw while cornering to provide incredible lateral grip. In addition to more traction, Acura added 73 horsepower to the acceleration equation. This will make for blistering acceleration and an estimated top speed of 191 mph. The chassis and space frame are mostly aluminum, with high strength steel used in critical safety areas. Production is about to begin at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. Acura NSX Engine For a truly unique car they decided on an all-new powerplant. Drawing from years of dominance on the track, the cylinder heads are separated by 75 degrees. Each cylinder has port and direct injection, with oiling from a dry sump. Thanks to active valve timing and electric wastegates, maximum torque of 406 lb-ft arrives at only 2,000 rpm. When combined with the additional battery power, the Acura NSX is a blast in any situation. Acura NSX Transmission Beating everyone to the punch, the Acura NSX transmission was the first supercar to offer 9 speeds and a dual-clutch input. Cars with this much torque don't need so many gears, but the deep overdrives offer leisurely cruising on the highway. The electric motor is sandwiched between the clutch plates and the transmission, with three-phase windings surrounding the flywheel. This compact arrangement can add power when needed or instantly store extra power in the battery. Acura NSX Brakes Like all great hybrids, the Acura NSX brakes are based on energy storage. Before the hydraulic system is needed, all three electric motors place the maximum load on the axles. Even if the battery is charged, the voltage is dissipated as heat. Effectively using the hybrid system as a resistor, the brake master cylinder is called upon when more friction is needed. Those who opt for iron brakes will have 14.5" front rotors while the carbon ceramics are 15". Brembo six-piston calipers are standard on both systems, as are 14.2" rear rotors. The calipers are full-floating and all four rotors have aluminum hats to save weight. Thanks to hybrid assist, your original brakes might last the life of the car. Acura NSX Design Nothing about the Acura NSX is conventional, so we chose the most polarizing aspects based on our time behind the wheel. Starting with the styling, the NSX will always get noticed. It presents hope for the future, and kind emotions from average enthusiasts. Having an Acura badge, you won't ruffle the feathers of the local gentry who monitor your spending habits. The NSX Insider Experience gives owners exclusive access to the making of their own supercar. Acura NSX Standout Features With the front track wider than the rear, the Acura NSX offers great balance in the corners. Keeping the airflow happy was a top priority, so the car has subtle inlets, scoops, and NACA ducts to maximize downforce and minimize drag. Another unique aspect of the NSX is the option for 2-tone paint inside and out. From the leather to the body panels, Acura offers several appealing color combinations.

Ferrari California T: Price, Specs, Review and Photos

Ferrari California T Specs Price: $198,973 Engine: 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 Horsepower: 552 hp 0–60: 3.6 seconds Top Speed: 196 mph Transmission: 7-speed automatic Torque: 557 lb-ft Review Once upon a time, the turbochargers in a Ferrari were nothing short of a rare sight. However, in a major turn of events, one of their most popular models is receiving two of them along with a new name: the Ferrari California T. Ferrari is known for their naturally aspirated engines, although most enthusiasts don’t realize that turbo engines are tradition to the manufacturer and track back all the way to the 1980s. The California T brings forth all of the luxury and fun that we have come to love about the California. The latest horse to enter the market gets an extra boost with its new intercooled twin-turbo V8, producing 552 brake horsepower, nearly 100 brake horsepower more than the original California. The ‘T’ gives you the luxury you expect from the prancing pony coupled with a retractable hardtop roof that demands attention as you gallop from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds with the wind in your hair. This is the first turbo Ferrari we’ve seen on the streets since the F40, bringing us to a new age of excitement. The supercar delivers elegance with power, comfortably united with open-top fun.

Man Hits 88 MPH in His DeLorean: Gets Ticket Instead of T...

In Essex, England, speeding in a DeLorean won't take you though the space-time continuum, unfortunately. DeLorean owner, Nigel Mills, an Essex resident found this out over the weekend as he was clocked going 18 mph over the speed limit, according to British news outlet, The Guardian.Mills, a Back to the Future fan, purchased his DeLorean a while back and likes to take the car out for a ride a couple of times a year, and this time, the clear Sunday roadways had him wanting to step on the gas a bit. At 88 mph, Mills was going well over the posted speed limit, but he told The Guardian he just wanted to take his vehicle out for a "run around."(Related - Prank: Daughter's Hilarious Reaction To Parents Buying DeLorean)Luckily for him, the magistrates responsible for pulling him over didn't show up to court so his ticket was thrown out. Maybe next time, that magic 88 MPH will take him to another time and place rather than the court room.DeLorean for Sale Related Video

Lazareth LM 847 Maserati-Powered Motorcycle Actually Film...

When we were first introduced to the Lazareth LM 847 motorcycle, we were pretty amazed at the fact that a 4.7-liter V8 Maserati engine was powering something so small. Granted, this wasn't the first time we've seen a motorcycle with a massive powerhouse (see Dodge Tomahawk). But even though we were formally introduced to the LM 847, we didn't see it in action. That is, until now.(Learn more about the Lazareth LM 847)In a new video from the Lazareth YouTube channel we finally get a chance to see the motorcycle in action. In fact, this could be the first time the bike had been filmed in motion.

No, You Don't Have to Keep Your Ferrari XX at the Factory

Owning a supercar comes with a certain standard. You'll want to make sure you can properly care for and store the vehicle when it isn't in use. But owning a track car made by a supercar brand is a whole new realm. For a long time, it was thought the Ferrari XX models, the brand's track line, could be owned by members of the public but not kept by said members of the public. Want to drive your XX? You'll have to wait until a race and then Ferrari will bring your vehicle out for you to drive on the track, but afterward, back to the factory it goes.(Related: 21 Ferrari FXX Ks Scream Around Mugello Circuit)This was the popular rumor surrounding ownership of a Ferrari XX, but as it turns out, the rumor has turned out to be completely false. As reported by Road & Track, you can own your Ferrari XX and store it where you like, whether that be your own personal garage, your supercar storage unit, or yes, the factory. This will probably come as welcome news to all those thinking about owning the track car and hesitating because of the bizarre requirements.Ferrari For Sale DallasRoad & Track gathered from Google executive, Benjamin Sloss' Instagram that one can, in fact, keep their Ferrari XX whoever they please.

Koenigsegg One:1 Suffers Major Wreck, Explanation On What...

On July 18, about three and a half hours into an Industry Pool testing session, a Koenigsegg One:1 suffered a fiery crash caused by a front axle brake lock-up, according to the automaker's blog post. The car was traveling at approximately 105 mph at the time. The car hit a fence, which, "launched the car into the air for an estimated 72 feet while it turned 180 degrees before it landed on its left rear wheel and pivoted to land parallel with the fence. The airbags, fuel shut-off and other safety systems all deployed as they were designed to do," according to a Koenigsegg press release. The impact ignited a small fire, which was quickly extinguished by the driver. Analysis conducted by the Koenigsegg team deduced the accident was caused by an issue with, "the front left ABS wheel sensor signal." As for damage to the car, Koenigsegg states, While the One:1 sustained severe damage to its exterior panels and sub-frames (front and rear), the carbon monocoque chassis and airbag restraint system performed according to design specifications and protected the driver well. Examination of the vehicle at our factory in Ängelholm shows that there were no fuel leaks, no oil leaks and no hydraulic fluid leaks whatsoever, which is positively reassuring, given the force of the impact. Luckily, the driver was largely unharmed. Koenigsegg is committed to further testing and analysis on the crash and ensures customers they will do whatever possible to make sure something like this doesn't happen in the future.

One of Only Three LaFerraris Finished in Nero DS Opaco

Ferrari's unprecedented hybrid supercar is rare and unique in its own right. Add in one owner, 211 original miles, and the incredible matte black Nero DS Opaco finish, and this 2014 LaFerrari is truly collector's dream.The LaFerrari uses hybrid automotive technology to deliver the highest performance ever achieved by a Ferrari production car. From exterior to interior, the LaFerrari is the pinnacle of innovation, from a hand laid carbon fiber body to the trademark double wishbone Ferrari suspension.Developed from the F1, the LaFerrari's HY-KERS system is a more seamless, more efficient way to marry the 6.3L/788 HP V-12 engine—the most powerful V-12 in the world—and a 161 HP electric motor, which work in tandem to produce an amazing 949 horsepower. Thanks to the low-speed torque provided by the electric engine, the V-12 is freed up for greater peak power—it redlines at a shrieking 9,250 RPM—creating an unrelenting surge of power and peak torque surpassing 663 lb-ft.The LaFerrari driving experience is like no other, with a 0-60 mph surge in 2.4 seconds, 0-124 in under 7 seconds, and 0-186 in a flat-out crazy 15 seconds. The LaFerrari's top speed hits 217 MPH, accompanied by that ear-splitting Ferrari V-12 symphony.This incredible example's ultra-rare DS Opaco finish is complimented by an interior fashioned in black leather and Alcantara with red accents including belts, stitching and piping. Additionally, the aircraft style interior shape is accented with carbon fiber trim. An adjustable steering wheel and pedals make for ultimate comfort in one of the world's most iconic supercars.The one of three 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari is offered by Mecum Auctions and will be available at the Monterey event located at Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa in gorgeous Monterey, California on August 18-20, 2016 at Lot R383.

Jaguar F-PACE Climbs Goodwood On Two Wheels

Last year's Goodwood Festival of Speed brought Jaguar a Guinness World Record for biggest loop-the-loop thanks to stunt driver, Terry Grant, and the Jaguar F-PACE. This year, Grant came back to perform again, this time, wowing the crowd with a two-wheeled drive.Taking the wheel of the Jaguar F-PACE, the company's first family sports car, Grant brought the four-wheeled vehicle up on two wheels and proceeded in climbing out of the passenger window, performing tricks and waving to the crowd from the exterior of the moving vehicle. Happy to work with Jaguar again, Grant stated,"When Jaguar gave me the opportunity to reunite with the F-PACE used to break the world’s largest loop record, I couldn’t say no. Its light, stiff aluminium body and precise controls make it the perfect wheelie vehicle, and it was great to have Lee Bowers along for company – even if he did climb out halfway through our run!"Grant's stunt involved hours of planning and practice, all of which paid off as the crowd was excited and captivated by his performance.Jaguar F-PACE for Sale
