Italdesign's NSX Continuation Is a Nostalgia Play Disguised as Innovation
"Calling a continuation car a 'redesign' is the kind of bean-counter language that tells you everything: Acura knows the new NSX lost the plot, so they're selling the old one back to you at continuation prices."
— Revvly Take
Italdesign—the coachbuilder behind the second-gen NSX's design—is building a handful of bespoke continuation cars that cherry-pick the best of the 2016-2022 platform. It's officially sanctioned by Acura, but positioning ultra-limited restomod culture as a redesign feels like marketing leverage over substance.
