Weight & Capacity
The Acura NSX II Coupe is a high-performance hybrid sports car featuring an advanced SH-AWD all-wheel drive system and a DCT transmission. Its powerful 3.5 V6 engine produces 573 horsepower, combined with electric motors for enhanced acceleration and efficiency. The weight-to-power ratio of approximately 3 kg per horsepower (or 332.2 hp/tonne) indicates an impressive balance between performance capability and handling dynamics despite its curb weight of 1725 kg (3802 lbs).
This refers to the powertrain configuration, combining Acura's naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 engine with its electric motors in a hybrid system. The total combined horsepower is rated at 573 HP.
SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) is an advanced system that actively sends more torque to the rear wheels during acceleration, especially in cornering situations. It differs from traditional AWD by using a sophisticated control unit and individual clutches at each wheel to optimize traction dynamically.
The NSX II Coupe is designed as a 2-seater sports car, focusing on the driver's experience and maximizing cabin space for occupants. This configuration enhances its sporty nature and aggressive styling typical of high-performance coupes.
Yes, it is identical because the conversion factor between kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph) means that covering a distance corresponding to 100 km takes exactly as long as covering one mile at these speeds.
SH-AWD stands for Super Hybrid All-Wheel Drive. It intelligently distributes engine power to all four wheels based on driving conditions, maximizing traction and stability without permanently locking differentials.
The hybrid system provides a substantial power boost compared to earlier non-hybrid NSX models, significantly enhancing acceleration and top speed. However, it also adds considerable weight due to batteries and electric motors, which can slightly affect handling agility.
This specific model features the powerful 3.5L V6 engine (573 horsepower) combined with hybrid technology and SH-AWD, making it a high-performance sports car that balances speed with some efficiency.
The fuel consumption figures suggest average efficiency for its performance level. It consumes around 11.8 liters per 100 km in urban driving, which translates to about 23 US mpg and 26 UK miles per gallon.
SH-AWD stands for Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. It's a sophisticated system designed by Acura that intelligently distributes power between the front and rear wheels to maximize traction, stability, and handling.
This specific NSX II Coupe is equipped as a full hybrid (FHEV). It uses two electric motors at the front to work in conjunction with the V6 engine, providing enhanced torque and efficiency compared to its purely gasoline counterpart.
SH-AWD stands for Super Hybrid All Wheel Drive. Acura's proprietary system intelligently manages power delivery from both the front electric motors and the rear V6 engine, optimizing traction and performance without a traditional mechanical limited-slip differential.
The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) offers fast gear shifts for optimal power delivery during acceleration. It combines the quick shift capability of a manual gearbox with the smooth engagement and ease-of-use of an automatic, enhancing both performance and driving dynamics.
The Acura NSX II Coupe (3.5 V6 Hybrid) produces a combined output of 573 horsepower.
This model utilizes a Lithium-ion battery and an electric motor located between the combustion engine and transmission, contributing to its total power. The synchronous electric motor works in conjunction with the V6 engine for propulsion.
While not explicitly stated, given it's a 'Hybrid' model with specified electric motor power and torque figures, it likely features some level of plug-in capability or at least regenerative braking to charge the Lithium-ion battery during operation. The exact range contribution from electric-only driving would depend on Acura's implementation.
The weight-to-power ratio indicates how much power each kilogram or pound of the car has. A lower kg/Hp (or higher Hp/kg) suggests better performance potential and handling dynamics, which this NSX's 3 kg/Hp ratio demonstrates effectively.
The hybrid system provides instant torque from electric motors for quick acceleration off the line. It also allows for regenerative braking to capture energy during deceleration and can operate in EV mode at low speeds, potentially improving fuel efficiency.
While heavier than some lightweight sports cars, the NSX II Coupe uses its SH-AWD system and DCT transmission to effectively transfer power. The high horsepower output compensates for the weight, ensuring strong performance characteristics.
