It sticks out like a sore thumb on the NSX’s beautifully sculpted door, so why isn’t the plastic surround at least body coloured, or given a nicer design. When the NSX arrived in 1990, it was intended to rival the Ferrari 348. And it did a very good job of that: performance was similar with 276bhp compared to the Ferrari’s 300bhp (and Honda’s official power figure is widely understood to be a very... But then Ferrari brought out the 355. Then the 360. And then the F430. What did Honda do in that time. By the time NSX production ended in 2005 (yep, it really was built for 15 years ), it wasn’t really a Ferrari rival any more. Being a new design, the F430 was a considerably more advanced machine with a power output knocking on the door of 500bhp. The relatively modest power output is what makes the NSX so approachable and well-suited for the road, but for supercar buyers, numbers are important. So it’s no wonder that the NSX sold poorly in the UK towards the end of its life, particularly when it had an interior that was almost exactly the same as the cars that left the factory 15 years previous.
