Acura NSX
The NSX supercar is powered by a sophisticated hybrid system consisting of a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 engine, three electric motors, a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and Acura’s Super-Handling All-wheel Drive (SH-AWD). It generates a combined 573 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque, which means you can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds. For 2020, the company is adding a classic Indy Yellow Pearl paint option that pays homage to the first-generation car’s Spa Yellow.
