Acura NSX: Honda's SupercarFirst shown at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the NSX eventually went on sale in the summer of 1990. Loved by the motoring press, the NSX took the world by storm with its good looks and F1 breeding. Recently face lifted, it continues to be Honda's flagship model, and one of the most exciting cars ever to come from the Land of the Rising Sun. This book uses excellent contemporary photographs, promotional literature, and interviews with key staff to tell the in-depth story of this fantastic car from development to the present day. |
