Honda NSX

 

The origins of the NSX trace back to 1984, with the HP-X (Honda Pininfarina eXperimental)[2] concept, which was a mid-engine 3.0 L V6 engine rear wheel drive sports car.

Honda committed to the project, with the intention of meeting or exceeding the performance of the then V8 engine Ferrari range, while offering reliability and a lower price point.

The concept thus evolved and had its name changed to NS-X, which stood for "New", "Sportscar" "eXperimental" although the production model was launched as the NSX.
