Honda NSX NA2 current version 1.0

Honda NSX NA2 1997

7 years after launch, NSX finally received the first performance upgrade. The V6 was bored out to 3179 cc by using ultra-thin fiber-reinforced metal (FRM) cylinder sleeves instead of cast iron cylinder liners. Horsepower and torque increased to 290 hp and 224 lb-ft respectively. A close-ratio 6-speed gearbox replaced the 5-speeder. Larger wheels, larger brakes and wider rear tires were adopted. 0-60 mph now took 5 seconds dead.
