1990
Birth of the NSX
Mid-weight, mid-ship, rear-wheel drive Forward canopy design All-aluminum body results in 200kg weight reduction vs. steel body V6 DOHC VTEC engine delivers linear acceleration All-aluminum 4-wheel double-wishbone suspension Dif't. diameter front and rear tires TCS, 4ch ABS Electronic power steering Driver-side SRS airbag standard
1992
Birth of the NSX-R
Further lightened by approx. 120kg Hard suspension tuning Custom Recaro full-bucket seats Custom Momo steering wheel Sculpted titanium shift knob Limited production to 1995
1993
Manual transmission car equipped with electronic power steering Equipped with security system Equipped with passenger-side SRS airbag
1994
Optional 45/40 tires with custom 16/17 inch wheels developed Stronger brake pads (GP pads) developed
1995
DBW electronic throttle developed F-Matic manual-feel automatic transmission developed Torque-reactive pre-loaded LSD developed Twin-tread tires with superior anti-hydroplaning developed
Birth of the NSX-T
High-rigidity open-top body Roof design with a liberating feel Inside-rear-canopy roof storage system
1997
3.2L engine for manual transmission version 6-speed manual transmission Strengthened gaskets, crankshaft pins, piston pins for 3.2L engine Stainless steel exhaust manifold (manual transmission version) Dual-mass flywheel (manual transmission version) Lighter, stronger aluminum body Front/rear brake rotors increased to 16 inches Stronger suspension (manual transmission version) Front lower skirt employed for improved aerodynamics Electronic power steering improved F-Matic shift control improved Heat blocking, UV cut glass employed Equipped with HID headlights Equipped with car navigation system BBS lightweight forged aluminum wheels (Custom Order Plan)
Birth of the NSX Type S
Weight reduced by some 4G?5kg Harder suspension settings Custom designed Recaro full-bucket seats Momo leather-wrapped steering wheel BBS lightweight forged aluminum wheels
1999
Equipped with LEV engine Improved DBW electronic throttle Double-cone synchronizers used in 5th and 6th gears of manual transmission Improved automatic transmission shift management Improved ABS system Perforated leather used in interior; gather-less design HID headlights standard equipment (except Type S Zero)
2000
Recognized by Japanese government as Excellent Low-Emissions Vehicle
2001
New aerodynamic styling Increased tire and wheel sizes Fixed headlights Strengthened suspension (Type T)
2002
The new NSX-R - the fruit of 12 years of passion and technological innovation, bringing man and machine closer together.
