Exterior

Speaking of the appearance of the Acura NSX II 2015, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between a production vehicle and a concept. The updated model features slightly modified bumpers, rear-view mirrors, hoods with air intakes, nozzles on the sides of the body and other wheel rims.

The body was made of aluminum (as in the first car Honda NSX), and the roof and some part of the bottom of the carbon fiber. The windshield and the inserts on the roof of the vehicle were stamped from steel.

The strength of the roof was reinforced with parts using high strength steel, the base of which goes from the windshield to the column in the middle. As standard, the vehicle comes with light alloy wheels of considerable diameter.

The front wheels are 19″ and the rear wheels are 20″. The rear wings are slightly wider, which is clearly marked by the stern lights, which are shaped like arrows. At the bottom, in the center, there are 4-pipe exhaust pipes that are mounted in the rear bumper. Moreover, a retractable spoiler has been added to the updated compartment.
