If there is one car currently on the roads that is in dire need to be put to pasture, it’s the Acura/Honda NSX. Many automakers have found the sure-fire way to bolster flagging sales is through “special editions” that tack on tons of options for a little price and a previously unavailable color. Honda followed that equation except for the low price. Tons of aerodynamic laundry hung out to dry, silly scoops and wings and no more horsepower. Huh? Only five people will have the “privilege” to own one at the ridiculous price of $500,000. Most of all the new pieces for the GT are made from carbon fiber, hence the high price.


The engine remains the same – a 280bhp 3.2-litre V6 sending its power to the rear wheels.

Honda needs to get their shit together and come up with a decent performance flagship. Even Chrysler redesigned the Viper.

Honda has never been worth a damn anyway. This just goes and proves it. Overpriced, underpowered.

I dont think its really RICE, but I do think they could have done a lot more than put the air scoop and the carbon stuff. I would definately just go and buy a Carrera GT instead.
