At the Detroit Motor Show 2013, Acura lifted the veil of the latest NSX concept. In 2012, Acura launched the first concept of the upcoming NSX. At that time, Acura announced that the NSX featured a 3.5-liter V-6 VTEC engine that sat in the middle of the car. The production model, in a brilliant NSX Red finish, took the stage with a grunt of its twin-turbo engine.

The next generation NSX exhibits the style, design and specifications of the Acura mid-engine sports hybrid supercar production, and Acura announced the all-new vehicle design and performance key details. Developed under the concept of a "human-centered supercar", a car that puts the driver first in all aspects of its design, the next generation of NSX will take advantage of its state-of-the-art supercar power unit, Body and chassis Provide an exceptionally intuitive and immediate response to driver inputs.

With the NSX, that connection will be intense and immediate. "

As the pinnacle of Acura's performance and prestige, the NSX was introduced in the auto show under the theme of "Precision Hand-crafted Performance." The development of the next generation of NSX, driven by precision performance, has led to a clean sheet design, which involved nearly three years of intensive development effort by a global design and engineering team led by engineers in the center Development in Raymond, Ohio.

"The NSX delivers superior superstar performance with zero retard acceleration and inspiring driving dynamics."

Dynamic Exterior Design Interwoven

"The new NSX is a product of what we call" Interwoven Dynamic "design," said Michelle Christensen, NSX's leading exterior design project. The NSX body has classic low and wide proportions, married to modern and seductive surfaces, an aggressive front design and tail lights that pays homage to the original NSX. "In line with the concept of" supercar human-centered "development, the NSX was designed from the inside out with an inflexible focus on the driver," said Johnathan Norman, NSX interior design leader of the project. Hybrid sports power unit

In keeping with the founding philosophy of the original NSX, the new NSX generation is designed to provide a new sporty one that maximizes the driver's capabilities, delivering an exceptionally intuitive and trust-inspiring response "at the driver's will."

At the heart of the NSX's performance capabilities is a new 75-degree DOHC V6 engine, with two turbochargers coupled to a 9-speed DCT developed by Acura. The rear-drive electric motor, housed between the engine and the transmission, supports acceleration, braking and transmission change performance. The front wheels of the NSX are powered by two independent high-performance electric motors that offer instantaneous torque response and dynamic torque distribution from left to right.

The NSX uses its front electric motors for torque vector dynamics, in addition to improving acceleration and braking performance. Advanced multi-material body

Also in keeping with the legacy of NSX, the world's first aluminum supercar, the new NSX features an innovative multi-material body design with the world's first applications of materials and construction processes.

The NSX body uses a space frame design-an internal frame constructed of aluminum, ultra-high strength steel and other advanced materials. Advanced Sports Package

The NSX features an "advanced sports package" with placement of the main powertrain components - the mid-height engine, the twin front engines and the Sport Hybrid battery pack and the power control unit - optimized to concentrate the Low mass vehicle and towards the center of the vehicle. Further enhance the dynamic response. The combination of this packaging concept and the lightweight body give the NSX the lowest center of gravity of its class.

The NSX uses a fully independent front and rear suspension, all-aluminum, and significantly reduces its power through the front-mounted ContiSportContact-245 / 35Z R19 and 295 / 30Z R20 rear-mounted tires at 19x8.5 inches Front and 20x11 inches rear Aluminum alloy wheels. The handling has been greatly improved thanks to the all-wheel drive Sport Hybrid Super-Handling (SportHybrid SH-AWD), which allows rapid lightning response to all driver-steering inputs, braking and acceleration - along with stability , drive. The integrated dynamic system of the NSX features silent, sporty, sporty and track modes. Dynamic vehicle responses become sharper as the driver shifts from Sport mode to Sport mode and finally to Track mode, where the NSX reveals the full spectrum of its performance capabilities.

The NSX also features a "launch" function to achieve the ultimate in "zero retard" launch performance, aided by both the engine and three electric motors.

"New Sports Experience" included details of the NSX's first body-building process that helped create a multi-material space frame that resulted in class-leading body rigidity, an advanced airflow management system and an upgrade In the specifications of the NSX power unit.

Significant technical disclosures concerning the NSX included:

It was confirmed that the displacement of the new V-6 turbo engine of the NSX was of 3.5 liters.

The NSX will mark the introduction of the highest capacity and torque capability of Super Drive Total Drive system in the history of Acura.

Multi-material body

Acura's first application of a multi-material body with space frame structure

At the core of NSX's mission to deliver timeless sports car values ​​is an aluminum-intensive, multi-material material frame. While the original NSX aluminum monocoque body was ahead of its time, the current aluminum and high strength steel body architecture has been pushed to the limit for supercar design.

"For this new development of NSX, anything and everything that could offer incredible basic rigidity and lightweight design was on the table," said Shawn Tarr, chief engineer and Acura NSX body development leader. The Acura NSX announces the world's first application of casting technology for ablation in the automotive industry. Advanced Materials Strategy

For the new NSX, body design and technologies are more than just gross performance: the goal of any supercar development. In line with the human-centered supercar concept, the NSX development team went further, to optimize how the car's performance capabilities are experienced by the driver through the body.

Total Airflow Management

The extensive involvement of thermal CFD with design engineers during development allowed maximum design optimization.

The new NSX employs 10 air-cooled heat exchangers, responsible for the cooling of the twin-engine front unit (TMU), the twin-turbo V6 engine, the direct-drive rear electric motor and the 9-speed double-clutch transmission DCT).

Supercar Aerodynamics

NSX achieves a first-class aerodynamic balance and aerodynamic aerodynamic supercar power without the use of active aero. Six vortices flow into the rear of the NSX, including those that support the creation of increased downforce through the rear cover.
