Professional Reviews

• “The system uses the electric motors with their instant, brilliant torque, to fill in the powerband while the turbos wake up. There's no lag. None.” — Road & Track
• “There's no on-center feel, and the wheel's numb in my hands. If, like me, you rely on your fingertips to tell you what's happening at the front wheels, you're right out luck.” — Road & Track
• “Acura's sculptors passed on the virile flair typical of the Italians, as well as the utopian futurism of the BMW i8, preferring instead a somewhat conventional, menacing angularity. ” — Car and Driver
• “The new NSX is as contrarian and occasionally conservative as the parent company itself. And it absolutely earns the NSX moniker.” — Automobile
• “You can hear the turbos while you're driving, but you won't believe they're actually there. The relationship between your right foot and the engine's output is so incredibly linear that you'd swear on your life that the NSX's engine was naturally aspirated.” — Motor Trend
• “The 9-speed dual-clutch transmission is in many ways as good as Porsche?s PDK, but it is as polite as a Japanese businessman.” — Automobile
• “The engine's note isn't particularly loud or distinct, except that with the exhaust baffles closed, the exhaust air squeezing through the mufflers sounds almost like a cigarette-lighter-powered tire pump.” — Motor Trend
