The Honda NSX

It has never been a secret that the Honda NSX was intended to be a (much more affordable) rival to the V8 Ferrari 348. In fact, that message was clearly conveyed by the frequent use of red, also on Ayrton Senna’s World Championship winning McLaren Honda. On delving more deeply into the history of this mid-engine sports car — back then a novel configuration for the Japanese manufacturer —, it emerges that in 1984 Pininfarina had created a magnificent concept car: the HP-X (Honda Pininfarina Experimental).
