Form Follows Function

From crossover to supercar – the precise lines, muscular appearance, wide stance – every contour enhances efficiency, increases downforce or aids cooling. It’s what defines Precision Crafted Performance.

Engineered to Breathe

During wind tunnel testing of the NSX, the team collaborated with Michelle Christensen, Exterior Design Project Lead, punching holes in the hood of the prototype design to improve airflow. Using design to stream air throughout the entire vehicle, aerodynamics found new levels of artistry.

Ultra-thin, yet super strong A-pillar design and a low-mounted instrument panel minimize obstructions to the driver's view, helping to create a panoramic view from the cockpit. In the moment, the car almost disappears – giving you the closest possible connection to the road.

Acura Our Story Desig Spacious Interior

Spacious Interior

The NSX was designed from the inside out with an uncompromising focus on the driver. Building from the original, we created a Human Support Cockpit that provides exceptional control, visibility and packaging – and true to our racing heritage, leaves headroom for a helmet.
