2017 Acura NSX Coupe

The NSX’s hybrid-electric powertrain combines a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 with three electric motors for a total of 573 hp and 476 lb-ft of torque. The V-6, the nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and one of the electric motors work as a team to power the rear wheels. The other two electric motors operate independently to drive the front wheels, effectively making the NSX all-wheel drive. With acceleration from zero to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds, the NSX is far from slow, but it’s not as quick as the non-hybrid competition. Razor-sharp handling is expected from a supercar, and the NSX delivers, while adding a more compliant ride quality than some of its rivals. Adaptive dampers and adjustable electric power steering give it a variety of driving modes to fit a range of situations. In Quiet and Sport modes, the steering is direct and accurate but light to the touch, which makes the NSX feel maneuverable on a day-to-day basis.
