Featuring an aerodynamic and sleek mid-engine design and
signature Acura styling, the new 2002 NSX is highly appealing
to sports car enthusiasts. Making it even more attractive
are a long list of luxuries and high performance standards,
combining to create one world-class sports car that not
only looks terrific but drives like a dream.
Available Models
One single model of the Acura NSX is offered
this year, but you are given a choice between two impressive
powertrains - a 3.0-litre V6 and a 3.2-litre V6. Both deliver
exceptional comforts and convenience backed by simply outstanding
performance.
Interior Features
The
well-appointed Acura NSX brims with amenities including
standards such as automatic climate control, a premium Acura/Bose
audio system with crisp and powerful sound, power windows,
power door locks, and cruise control. The interior is designed
to look like that of a jet fighter cockpit, and is finished
off in sporty opulence with hand-stitched leather upholstery
and black chrome plating on the center panel. There are
six new interior colors available this year to keep the
look contemporary and fresh.
Exterior Features
Of course, one of the major highlights of the
Acura NSX is the removable roof panel for great open-air
driving. Featuring an updated look, the NSX now sports a
redesigned fascia, lighter fixed-position HID headlights,
an aggressive front bumper, revised chin spoiler, and revised
hood line. The rear of the vehicle has also been revisited
with circular housings around the turn signals, revised
badging, revised rear bumper with air diffuser, new trunk
lip spoiler, and new exhaust finishers.
Performance
Two
different powertrains are available to suit your enthusiasm
for driving. The first is a 3.0-litre, DOHC, 24-valve six-cylinder
engine that produces an impressive 252 horsepower and 210
lb-ft of torque. It is equipped with a four-speed Sequential
Sport Shift automatic transmission.
Your second choice is a powerful all-aluminum 3.2-litre,
Dohc, 24-valve, 90-degree six-cylinder engine with a six-speed,
close-ratio manual transmission combining to crank out 290
horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque.
Each of the powerful NSX engines is built with variable
valve timing and lift electronic control, variable volume
induction system, direct ignition, and a computerized programmed
fuel injection system found in Formula One racecars.
Safety and Security
Standard safety equipment in the Acura NSX includes
a remote keyless entry system, passenger depowered air bag,
driver depowered air bag, three-point seatbelts at outboard
seating positions, and an electronic immobilizer system
to ward against theft. As well, each vehicle has been designed
with side impact door beams, and both front and rear crumple
zones to channel the energy of an impact away from the cabin.
