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.
