Review: 2017 Acura NSX (01:28)

"Is the world ready for a logical super car?"

That was the question Jim Kenzie posed at the Thermal Club in California while attending the launch of the 2017 Acura NSX.

The car is powered by a mid-mounted 3.5-litre V6 engine and nine-speed twin-clutch transmission, and no fewer than three electric motors.

The first is mounted between the gas engine and nine-speed twin-clutch transmission, while the other two sit up front, driving the front wheels.

Net system output is rated at 573 horsepower and 476 lb.-ft. of torque.

"But probably the key characteristic of the NSX," Jim says, "hearkens back to the original NSX.

"If you just want to go to the grocery store, it's equally as happy."
