The all-new Acura NSX has some surprisingly impressive cupholders
Matthew DeBord
Almost as soon as Acura discontinued the car, fans starting screaming for a second-gen.
But they had to wait a while. After an aborted reboot in the 2010 period - thanks, financial crisis - a proper re-imagining of the NSX took physical form as a mid-engine supercar concept, revealed at the 2012 Detroit auto show.
We got our first look at the actual NSX at the 2015 New York auto show, and more recently, we've spent some time with the production car, both on and off the race track.
The 2017 NSX - with a 3.5-liter twin turbo assisted by three electric motors in its quest for 573 horsepower - is impressive, but we don't want to give too much away ahead of a forthcoming review.
We do want to highlight one amazing feature, however: the NSX's cupholders.
Supercars, and for that matter sports cars, and cupholders are not two great tastes that go great together. We've poked fun at the Porsche 911's cupholders and worked hard to locate them in various McLarens and Lamborghinis. Enjoying a beverage, hot or cold, while motoring isn't really the point of these machines.
That said, the new Acura NSX is distinguished by its exceptionally comfortable interior. You kind of do want to enjoy a beverage in there.
This is how Acura addressed that desire.
