Welcome to Barchetta, home of all things relating to automotive history and culture. I mainly focus on transportation design. In the QUICKFIRE REVIEWS series, we'll discuss the styling of cars both new and old. The INDUSTRY ICONS series will take us through a journey through the careers of the most influential people in the automotive industry. From time to time, you can also expect to see longer-form content that dissects a particular subject in car/design history. There will also occasionally be pieces going over more general industrial design, art history, and architecture. As always, if you have an idea for a video that you'd like me to make, then be sure to let me knew through either video comments or the channel discussion tab.

Video Description
The Honda NSX is one of the most important sports cars of all time. It was the first production car to make use of an aluminum frame which was lighter and stiffer than that of the competition. The NSX also made use of VTEC technology. This made it an exceptional performer in both low and high-speed situations. This car's focus on ergonomics and livability set it apart from its contemporaries. Developing the NSX wasn't easy. The road from conception to production was rife with setbacks and roadblocks, but Honda never compromised on their vision. The NSX was a revelation when it was released in 1990 and its impact can still be felt in the automotive industry more than 15 years after its discontinuation. 0:00 INTRO 00:32 1989 CHICAGO AUTO SHOW 03:26 ORIGINS 08:21 PLANNING 16:02 DESIGN 21:52 ALUMINUM FRAME 30:49 SENNA/PROTOTYPING 35:29 VTEC/POWERTRAIN/FACTORY 43:52: MARKET INTRODUCTION 49:42 UPDATES/NSX-R/S/T 59:50 DECLINE/LEGACY ARTICLE www.barchetta.co/articles/honda-nsx SOURCES www.barchetta.co/nsx-sources
