Italdesign unveiled a second-gen NSX reimagined as a spiritual successor to the original at Tokyo Auto Salon, replacing the mid-mounted V6 with cleaner lines that echo the NA1's proportions. It's right-hand drive exclusive—a calculated move that acknowledges where the money actually is. This isn't restoration; it's interpretation.

Italdesign dusted off the mid-engine hybrid formula and designed what Honda should've kept alive—a cleaner, more purposeful update that borrows from the original's DNA without the corporate dilution. The design study suggests what happens when you let designers dream instead of letting product planners play it safe.

Italdesign dusted off the second-gen NSX for a Tokyo Auto Salon one-off that's equal parts tribute and middle finger to Honda's current direction. The build hints at what passionate designers think the supercar should've been—but the real story is that independent shops are doing Honda's creative work for them.
