The 2019 Acura NSX is an exotic sports car with room for two people. Power comes from a gas-electric hybrid drivetrain that features two electric motors driving the front wheels, plus a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine and additional electric motor powering the rear wheels. System output is 573 horsepower. Competitors include the Audi R8 and BMW i8.
New standard features include an ELS premium stereo, navigation, and leather and Alcantara sport seats. The NSX also gets stiffer stabilizer bars and suspension components, stickier tires, and chassis and driveline software updates. There are also new exterior and interior colors and minor exterior trim changes.
The NSX’s sophisticated hybrid drivetrain is tuned for performance and gives the sports car all-wheel drive. Even though its starting price is well into six figures, a number of performance-oriented features are optional, like carbon-ceramic brakes and a carbon-fiber roof.
Like the original, the current-generation NSX is something of an everyday supercar, what with its good forward visibility. The responsiveness and seamlessness of the hybrid system impressed us, but the car’s steering feedback and ordinary multimedia system left us cold. Even so, the NSX turns heads as well as any exotic sports car.
