The last Honda NSX left the assembly lines

In 1990, the first generation Honda NSX was introduced, which over time won the hearts of many car enthusiasts, especially in the North American market. It remained on the market for 15 years, and some considered it the Japanese Ferrari. This was the reason for Honda to present the second generation of this model in 2016, but this time there was no success.

Recently, the last copy of the second generation hybrid Honda NSX was assembled. Since its appearance in 2015, this car has had the greatest popularity in America, where it was offered with a 3.5 L V6 engine in combination with three electric motors with a total power of 581 hp (427 kW) and 476 lb-ft (645 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed dual-clutch gearbox. However, last year Honda teased the NSX Type S via its YouTube channel. The plan was to produce only 350 units of which 300 for the American market. Also, engine power has been increased to 600 hp (441 kW) and 492 lb-ft (667 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 2.9 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h).

But all that was not enough for the hybrid Honda NSX Type S to stay on the market because Honda announced the electrification of all its existing models, as well as the possible return of forgotten ones, such as the Honda Prelude.

Two decades ago, Honda introduced the last edition of its Prelude model, and now it is widely rumored that a new generation could hit the market by 2028.
