Honda NSX Book: The Complete History, Legend & Tuning Potential

The Honda NSX quietly humiliated Ferrari and Porsche on the one thing supercars had always been forgiven for being bad at: everyday usability. Our new book, Honda NSX: The Complete History, Legend & Tuning Potential, is out now on Amazon in Kindle and print, and it gives this car the depth of treatment it's never quite gotten alongside its more famous turbocharged JDM siblings.

What's Inside

You get the real story of Ayrton Senna's input during development — feedback that reportedly led to a stiffer body structure that transformed how the car handled. We cover the C30A V6 and VTEC, the all-aluminum monocoque that was a genuine production-car first, and why the NSX's mid-engine layout let it compete with cars costing several times as much. We're honest about the tuning scene too — it's smaller and more purist than the Skyline or Supra world, built around careful refinement rather than chasing four-figure horsepower, and we explain why that's a feature, not a limitation.

And because so many NSX owners kept their cars closer to stock than owners in the rest of this series, we cover what that means for buying one today — provenance and originality matter here even more than with cars like the Skyline and Supra.

Why You Want This One

The NSX's reputation as an underrated 90s icon has finally caught up with it in enthusiast circles and in the market. This book makes sure you understand exactly why — the engineering discipline, the Senna connection, the aluminum body — before you're paying collector prices for one. Pair it with our Japanese car culture book for the wider scene this car sits in.
