I can confirm. They handled amazingly well. Really easy to step the rear out with trail braking

On the flipside, I’ve heard these cars handle ridiculously well, being Lotuses (Loti?), and corner as neutral as a RWD Lotus. I’d own one.
I hear what you’re saying, but where does it end? First it was “MKV will suck” based on sheer hate and ignorance regarding its partnership with BMW. Then there was frustration Toyota didn’t “man up” and chase the 911 Turbo like Nissan did with the GTR. And 335hp was an insult. Then it was “BMW engines suck!”, even…
Probably for insurance reasons to be honest. There hasn't been a gentleman's agreement since the 90s.
It’s better to under-promise and over-deliver.
A couple of things... it’ll make 330HP even on a hot day at altitude, so that’s the minimum power you should expect. People who don’t really know how cars, or things in general, work will assume the performance is some feat of unmatched German engineering - I’ve heard this way too many times for companies not to…
Its because BMW (and the other Germans) guarantee rated HP regardless of outside conditions (hot/high). The turbocharged engines do much better at sea level or normal temps.
The original NSX was not legendary because it had a manual and lacked electric motors. Its was because it was a supercar for half the price that was easy to live with. The new NSX is still exactly this.
What? It’s a supercar why are you expecting a manual? What supercar from across seas comes with a manual....exactly
It was the 2017 Road & Track Performance Car of the Year.

Saying the LFA was a failure is what kids in Mustangs and Subies say. Any enthusiast worth his/her weight in appreciation for cutting edge technology and performance would love to have one if they had the money.
Why was the LFA a failure? They made as many as they originally planned to (500) and every one sold easily. It got great reviews, even from a hater like Clarkson and it’s still an icon of automotive engineering and performance. A failure because it’s more than you can afford or more than what people thought it was…
It’s a failure, just like the LFA.
If this was 1990, I would’ve thought you were talking about the first gen.
The next NSX was NEVER going to be a manual, or else it would be reduced to a Cayman fighter like the Supra. The new NSX trashes any supercar in its price range and matches cars 2x the price like the 488 GTB and McLaren 720s. And not to mention, MARK MY WORDS, this car is the next R35 GTR, when we have the resources to…
No interest without being able to heel-and-toe.

You wanna know how I know you’ve never driven one?
