Acura NSX | One Last Trip Down Memory Lane
We traveled to Japan to discuss the history and development of the first-generation NSX with the original Honda engineering team responsible for cars such as Integra and S2000. They helped explain the past and how it applies to the future application of sports cars. While the original owners and design team continue to age, the car stays relevant thanks to a new generation of enthusiasts, keeping the story alive. #cars #technology #engineering Index: 00:00 Intro, Window Into The Past 1:15 How It Started, Chief Engineer, Shigeru Uehara 8:00 Introductions to the Engineering Team 12:32 The Aluminum Body Technicalities, CRX 15:36 Material Science and Regrets 18:51 Dual Personality, Comfortable F1 20:47 Never Enough Time, Tough Choices 22:26 Engine Development 24:48 NA2 Engine Changes 26:40 Type R Engine Changes 27:24 Changing the Durability Cycle 30:20 The Question of Power 31:14 Chassis and Suspension Development 31:34 Explaining Senna's Limited Roll Early On 32:13 Nurburgring Testing and New Methods 34:43 Explaining Honda Vehicle Dynamics 37:12 The Burble Burst 38:40 Not Everything Goes as Planned - Type T (Targa) 41:24 Cutting off The Roof, Difficult Solutions 44:39 NSX Then vs. Now 45:11 Perspective, Rose Colored Glasses 46:34 What People Appreciate Changes 49:45 Dual Personality Driving Experience 51:35 Lessons and Learnings for Future Generations 54:38 Nostalgia 55:43 Are Electronics Ruining Driving? 1:03:00 The Test of Time 1:06:46 NSX Changes for The Times 1:07:22 How to Keep NSX Alive 1:07:42 Final Thoughts and Message to Owners
