The Acura NSX: Where Style Meets Substance
September 23 2022, North Shore Acura
Imagine lighting up the drag space with brand new wheels. Now imagine using the same set of wheels to commute to work. As incongruous as it may sound, the Acura NSX is a supercar that allows you to do just that. Acura’s flagship supercar is built for versatility when it comes to usage with the quiet mode saving many a driver from noise complaints while returning home late at night.
Car designers Ken Okuyama and Shigeru Uehara modelled the 2021 NSX after a sleek fighter jet. The inspiration is obvious in the aerodynamic lines of the chassis and the cockpit area, all built for perfection.

It’s the heart that matters…
The Acura is designed for performance. The twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, three electric motors with combined 573 horsepower (hp) and 476 pound-feet of torque deliver a phenomenal amount of power. The 9-speed dual clutch transmission (9DCT) offers a smooth way to manage all this power. Optional carbon ceramic brakes along with four carbon fiber options – interior trim, engine cover, rear diffuser, and roof all shave off weight. The steering is highly manoeuvrable with the car hugging bends as you need it to. Not to mention the Sport Hybrid Super Handling All Wheel Drive system that delivers top-of-the-line acceleration and handling. The car’s 19'' and 20” forged aluminium front and rear tires offer an insane grip on the tarmac. The suspension system is great on not-so-great roads too – again a tribute to the supercar’s regular use ethos.
The hybrid powertrain is another thing to love about this car delivering fuel efficiency without compromising on the power, especially while driving in the city. Announce your arrival or hide your departures as needed by shifting to and from the quiet mode.
Although the car is only available in one trim, it's available in multiple show stopping colors to suit your style. The brighter colors definitely make a statement.

Interiors unlike most sports cars:
Unlike most other supercars that are only taken out of the garage for a bit of weekend fun, the Acura NSX is meant to turn every day into a special occasion.
The two-seater offers gorgeous, perforated leather, Alcantara-trimmed, heated seats that are unbelievably easy to get in or out of – even if you are taller than 6 feet – something that can be rarely said of other comparable cars. The infotainment system includes the epic ELS Surround Premium Audio system with 9 speakers with a much-needed subwoofer for when you’re really opening the car up.
While the trunk space may not be big enough to accommodate a month’s luggage, it’s definitely enough for your everyday grocery runs.
If there’s one thing you should do for yourself, it is to take the Acura NSX out for a test drive. You are more than likely to find yourself driving one home soon.
