The Honda NSX is back! That’s right, the 1990s supercar icon that pushed Ferrari to make its cars more usable and reliable has been given the restomod treatment. It’s the work of JAS – a long-time motorsport partner of Honda (and yes, Honda has given its blessing to this project) – together with Italian design house Pininfarina, which designed the original HP-X concept that inspired the Mk1 NSX. Is it sacrilege, or superb? 🚗 JAS Tensei (Honda NSX Mk1) 🎤 Tom Ford #TopGearFirstLook 🎥 Subscribe to Top Gear YouTube: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear 🎥 Subscribe to Top Gear Tech YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@topgeartech ⏪ Subscribe to Top Gear Classic YouTube: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear 📖 Subscribe to Top Gear Magazine: https://top-gear.visitlink.me/YeyndO 🎧 Top Gear Magazine Podcast: https://topgear.podlink.to/Podcast ✉️ Top Gear Newsletter: https://www.topgear.com/newsletter-signup 🛍️ Top Gear Shop: https://www.topgear.com/shop Follow Top Gear ⬇️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/topgear/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/topgear TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@topgear X/Twitter: https://x.com/BBC_TopGear This is a commercial channel from BBC Studios.

Man if the second gen NSX looked like this, they would still be in production.
This is how you re-design a classic, simply beutifull car.
Now THAT is car design!!!
This is prettier than any modern supercar. It's perfect
It still has pop up headlights Me like
Pininfarina sure knows how to design a car. I think it looks better than the original.
The interior feels exactly like the future did when I was a kid in the 1990s. Much better than the screen and button mess we have now. Ich glaube a Grokmaxus.
I'd take the Jas badge off and put a Honda one on instead 😂 if I could afford one of course 😅 looks bloody sick 👌🏻
The only thing it is missing is the Honda badge. They should have used it in the same way that Singer does with their Porsche crest.
Better than the original, or is the past better left alone?
The ony part it misses is the Honda badge. They should have used it, just as Singer puts a Porsche crest on their cars.
It does look like what Honda should have done for the second gen.
Great car, but my heart cries a little for every original NSX that dies for it 😢
No surprise Pininfarina designed something absolutely stunning.
This is how you re-design a classic, simply beutifull car..
Super excited for 5 seconds! Then super sad to hear it is probably a $400K restomod. Nevermind, lol, it is about $1,000,000.
Pop-up headlights are so cool.
The designers deserve a pay raise!

This is what a NSX should look like. Thank you.
