Honda's mighty hybrid supercar, the second-gen NSX, has been revised for the 2019 model year. In come changes aimed at making the car 'more pleasurable to live with day-to-day, and even more exciting to drive on track.' Chiefly, that means larger front and rear anti-roll bars (upping the car's rigidity by 26 per cent and 19 per cent respectively), stiffer rear hubs and control-arm toe link bushings, recalibration of the control software for all of the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD, the EPAS, the Vehicle Stability Assist and the adaptive dampers, new injectors for the V6 engine, better heat-responsiveness for the turbochargers, a new particulate filter to clean up the exhaust and some specially-developed Continental SportContact 6 tyres. You can also have the car painted in Thermal Orange Pearlescent, finish the carbon-ceramic brake calipers in orange and opt for a full red leather or Alcantara/leather interior in Indigo Blue (among existing choices), while the chrome upper front grille surround is now body-coloured on the 2019MY NSX, and the mesh in its front and rear bumpers is gloss black. All of the above (well, not the orange paint... obvs) makes the NSX 2019 two seconds quicker around Suzuka than the outgoing car. Impressive.
